Luke 24
1 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the
morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices
which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
2 And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the
Lord
Jesus.
4 And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout,
behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces
to the
earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the
dead?
6 He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake
unto you
when he was yet in Galilee,
7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands
of
sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
8 And they remembered his words,
9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these
things
unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of
James, and other women that were with them, which told these
things unto the apostles.
11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they
believed them not.
12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping
down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and
departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to
pass.
13 And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village
called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore
furlongs.
14 And they talked together of all these things which had
happened.
15 And it came to pass, that, while they communed together
and
reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.
16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are
these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?
18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said
unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast
not known the things which are come to pass there in these
days?
19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him,
Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in
deed and word before God and all the people:
20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to
be
condemned to death, and have crucified him.
21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have
redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third
day since these things were done.
22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us
astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
23 And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that
they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he
was alive.
24 And certain of them which were with us went to the
sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but
him they saw not.
25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to
believe all that the prophets have spoken:
26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter
into his glory?
27 And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded
unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning
himself.
28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went:
and
he made as though he would have gone further.
29 But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us: for it
is
toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to
tarry with them.
30 And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took
bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them.
31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he
vanished out of their sight.
32 And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within
us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened
to us the scriptures?
33 And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem,
and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were
with them,
34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to
Simon.
35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how
he
was known of them in breaking of bread.
36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst
of
them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that
they had seen a spirit.
38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
thoughts arise in your hearts?
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle
me,
and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me
have.
40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and
his feet.
41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he
said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an
honeycomb.
43 And he took it, and did eat before them.
44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake
unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be
fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in
the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might
understand the scriptures,
46 And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved
Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
47 And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached
in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
48 And ye are witnesses of these things.
49 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but
tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with
power from on high.
50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted
up
his hands, and blessed them.
51 And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted
from them, and carried up into heaven.
52 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with
great joy:
53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing
God. Amen.
John 20
1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early,
when
it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone
taken away from the sepulchre.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to
the
other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They
have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know
not where they have laid him.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple,
and
came to the sepulchre.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did
outrun
Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen
clothes
lying; yet went he not in.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into
the
sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying
with the
linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first
to
the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must
rise
again from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as
she
wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head,
and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith
unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know
not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and
saw
Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest
thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him,
Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast
laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith
unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet
ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto
them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my
God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had
seen
the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the
week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were
assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the
midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and
his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the
LORD.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my
Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith
unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them;
and
whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with
them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen
the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his
hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the
print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will
not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and
Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and
stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold
my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my
side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me,
thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and
yet have believed.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of
his
disciples, which are not written in this book:
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus
is
the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have
life through his name.
John 21
1 After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the
disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he
himself.
2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called
Didymus,
and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee,
and two other of his disciples.
3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say
unto
him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into
a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing.
4 But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the
shore:
but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.
5 Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat?
They
answered him, No.
6 And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side
of the
ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they
were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes.
7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto
Peter,
It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the
Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for he was
naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.
8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for
they
were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,)
dragging the net with fishes.
9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a
fire of
coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now
caught.
11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great
fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there
were so many, yet was not the net broken.
12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the
disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was
the Lord.
13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and
fish likewise.
14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to
his
disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
15 So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon,
son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto
him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto
him, Feed my lambs.
16 He saith to him again the second time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest
that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him
the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord,
thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee.
Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou
girdest thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but
when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands,
and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou
wouldest not.
19 This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify
God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow
me.
20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus
loved following; which also leaned on his breast at supper,
and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee?
21 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this
man do?
22 Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come,
what is that to thee? follow thou me.
23 Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that
disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He
shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come,
what is that to thee?
24 This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and
wrote these things: and we know that his testimony is true.
25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the
which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that
even the world itself could not contain the books that
should be written. Amen.
