Mark 16:1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and
Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

Matthew 28:2-4 And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended
from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it. 3 His
countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow: 4 And for fear of him the
keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

John 20:1-18 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.

Mark 16:2-4 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the
sepulchre at the rising of the sun. 3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away
the stone from the door of the sepulchre? 4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was
rolled away: for it was very great.

Matthew 28:5-7 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that
ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. 6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the
place where the Lord lay. 7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead;
and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

Mark 16:5-6 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side,
clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 6 And he saith unto them, Be not
affrighted: . . .

Luke 24:5-8 . . . 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,

Mark 16:7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee:
there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

Matthew 28:8-10 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did
run to bring his disciples word. 9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them,
saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him. 10 Then said
Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall
they see me.

Luke 24:10 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.

Mark 16:11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen . . .

Luke 24:11 . . . their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

Matthew 28:11-15 Now when they were going, behold, some of the watch came into the city, and
showed unto the chief priests all the things that were done. 12 And when they were assembled
with the elders, and had taken counsel, they gave large money unto the soldiers, 13 Saying, Say
ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept. 14 And if this come to the
governor’s ears, we will persuade him, and secure you. 15 So they took the money, and did as
they were taught: and this saying is commonly reported among the Jews until this day.

THE WALK TO EMMAUS

Luke 24:13-32 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?

FIRST APPEARANCE IN THE UPPER ROOM

Luke 24:33-35 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.

Mark 16:13 . . . neither believed they them.

John 20:19 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.

Luke 24:37-48 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 showed 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.

John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even
so send I you.

Luke 24:49 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.

John 20:22-25 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.

SECOND APPEARANCE IN THE UPPER ROOM

John 20:26-29 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.

APPEARANCE BY THE LAKE OF GALILEE

John 21:1-23 After these things Jesus showed himself again to the disciples at the sea of
Tiberias; and on this wise showed 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 showed 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 girdedst 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?

APPEARANCE ON A MOUNTAIN IN GALILEE

Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where
Jesus had appointed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in
earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Mark 16:16-18 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall
be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out
devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any
deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

1 Corinthians 15:6 . . . he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; . . .

Acts 1:3-8 To whom also he showed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs,
being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: 4
And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from
Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5 For
John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days
hence. 6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at
this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know
the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But ye shall receive
power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in
Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

ON THE MOUNT OF OLIVES; THE ASCENSION

Luke 24:50 And he led them out as far as to Bethany, . . .

Mark 11:1 . . . at the mount of Olives, . . .

Luke 24:50 . . . and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

Acts 1:9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud
received him out of their sight.

Matthew 28:20 . . . lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

Acts 1:10-11 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men
stood by them in white apparel; 11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up
into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like
manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Luke 24:52-53 And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: 53 And were
continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

Mark 16:20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

John 20:30-31 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 21:24-25 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.
