28. His Death and His Resurrection

29. 1 Corinthians 15 - The Resurrection of Christ
3
For what I received I passed on to you as of
first importance: that Christ died for our sins
according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was
buried, that he was raised on the third day
according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he
appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve.

54. John 20
1
Early on the first day of the week, while it was still
dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw
that the stone had been removed from the
entrance. 2 So she came running to Simon Peter
and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and
said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,
and we don’t know where they have put him!”

55. John 20
3
So Peter and the other disciple started for the
tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple
outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent
over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there
but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along
behind him and went straight into the tomb. He
saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the
cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head.
The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from
the linen.

56. John 20
8
Finally the other disciple, who had reached the
tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9
(They still did not understand from Scripture that
Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the
disciples went back to where they were staying. 11
Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she
wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and
saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’
body had been, one at the head and the other at
the foot.

57. John 20
13
They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I
don’t know where they have put him.” 14 At this, she
turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but
she did not realize that it was Jesus. 15 He asked
her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you
are looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener,
she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell
me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

58. John 20
16
Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him
and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means
“Teacher”).
18
Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the
news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them
that he had said these things to her.

59. John 20
Je s us A p e a rs to His Dis c ip le s
p
24
Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of
the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus
came. 25
So the other disciples told him, “We
have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless
I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger
where the nails were, and put my hand into his
side, I will not believe.”

60. John 20
26
A week later his disciples were in the house
again, and Thomas was with them. Though the
doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among
them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then he
said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my
hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my
side. Stop doubting and believe.”

61. John 20
28
Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29
Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen
me, you have believed; blessed are those who
have not seen and yet have believed.”
