Thematic Bible



And several women were there who look'd on at a distance, and had followed Jesus from Galilee, to assist him with their service. among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and of Joses, and the mother of Zebedee's children. In the evening a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself was Jesus's disciple, read more.
went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus; which Pilate ordered to be delivered to him. Joseph then having taken the body, wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, and laid it in a monument which he had lately caused to be hewn out in the rock: and having rolled a large stone to the door of the sepulchre, he went away. in the mean time Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary were sitting over against the sepulchre.

The sabbath being over, and the first day of the week beginning to dawn, Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, came to see the sepulchre. now there had been a great earthquake; for an angel of the lord descending from heaven, was come, and had rolled away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it. his aspect was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow. read more.
for fear of whom the keepers shook, and were almost struck dead. but the angel spoke to the woman, and said, don't be frighted, I know you are seeking Jesus, who was crucified. he is not here: he is risen according to his word: come, see the place where the Lord was laid. then go immediately to tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and that, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see it is him; 'tis I that say it. And they instantly left the sepulchre, with fear and joy, and ran to carry his disciples this good news.

it was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and others with them, who gave the apostles this relation:

but Mary stood at the entrance of the cave weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down to look into the sepulchre, and saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, the one at the head, the other at the feet. and they said to her, woman, why do you weep? "because, said she, they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him." read more.
having thus said, she turned about, and saw Jesus standing, but knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, woman, why do you weep? who do you look for? she supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, sir, if it be you that have convey'd him away; tell me where you have laid him, and I will take care to have him remov'd. Jesus said to her, Mary! she bowing her self, cry'd rabboni! that is to say, master! Jesus said to her, touch me not: for I am not yet ascended to my father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, "I ascend unto my father and your father, even my God and your God." so Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
