Jesus appears to the disciplesLJ

Jesus shows them his hands and feet.

Luke(du leser)

36While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them.[^ Some manuscripts add: and said to them, "Peace be with you."]

37They were startled and terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost.

38He said to them: "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your hearts?

39Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself. Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."

40When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.

41And while they still did not believe it for joy and were amazed, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"

42They gave him a piece of broiled fish,

43and he took it and ate it in their presence.

44He said to them: "This is what I told you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled."

45Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

46He said to them: "This is what is written: the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48You are witnesses of these things.

49And behold, I am sending upon you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

19That evening, on the first day of the week, the disciples were together behind locked doors for fear of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."

20After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.

21Again Jesus said to them, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."

22And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

23If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness, it is withheld."

The AscensionML

Luke expands on this in Acts 1:9-11.

19So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.

20And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the word through the signs that accompanied it.⟧

Luke(du leser)

50Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.

51While he was blessing them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.

52And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,

53and they were continually in the temple, praising God.

The Empty TombMMLJ

The women come to the tomb and find it empty.

1After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb.

2Suddenly there was a great earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven, went up, rolled away the stone, and sat on it.

3His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing was white as snow.

4The guards were so terrified of him that they shook and became like dead men.

5But the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid. I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

6He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.

7Now go quickly and tell his disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and he is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.' Remember, I have told you."

8So they hurried away from the tomb, filled with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

1When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint him.

2Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they came to the tomb.

3They were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?"

4But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—and it was enormous.

5Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe, and they were alarmed.

6But he said to them, "Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. Look, this is the place where they laid him.

7But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going ahead of you to Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you."

8So they went out and fled from the tomb, trembling and beside themselves. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid. ⟦But they briefly reported to Peter and those with him everything they had been told. And afterward Jesus himself sent out through them, from east to west, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation. Amen.⟧

Luke(du leser)

1On the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared.

2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

4While they stood there bewildered, two men in dazzling clothes suddenly stood beside them.

5The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them: "Why do you look for the living among the dead?

6He is not here; he has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,

7that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, be crucified, and rise again on the third day."

8Then they remembered his words.

9And returning from the tomb, they reported all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.

10It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.

11But these words seemed to them like nonsense, and they did not believe the women.

12Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping down, he saw only the linen cloths, and he went home, amazed at what had happened.

1Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

2So she ran to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and told them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him."

3So Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb.

4They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.

5He bent down and looked in, and saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

6Then Simon Peter came up behind him and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there,

7and the cloth that had been around Jesus' head was not with them but folded up by itself in a place of its own.

8Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. He saw, and he believed.

9For they still did not understand the Scripture, that he had to rise from the dead.

10Then the disciples went back home.

The Great CommissionMML

Go out and make disciples of all nations.

18Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, [Footnote: Greek: into the name, indicating being brought into relationship with and belonging to the one named.]

20teaching them to keep everything I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the very end of the age."

15And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation.

16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.

17And these signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues;

18they will pick up snakes, and if they drink anything deadly it will not harm them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover."

Luke(du leser)

46He said to them: "This is what is written: the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,

47and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.

48You are witnesses of these things.

49And behold, I am sending upon you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."

On the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women came to the tomb bringing the spices they had prepared.
They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
While they stood there bewildered, two men in dazzling clothes suddenly stood beside them.
The women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, but the men said to them: "Why do you look for the living among the dead?
He is not here; he has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,
that the Son of Man must be handed over to sinful men, be crucified, and rise again on the third day."
Then they remembered his words.
And returning from the tomb, they reported all this to the Eleven and to all the rest.
It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.
But these words seemed to them like nonsense, and they did not believe the women.
Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Stooping down, he saw only the linen cloths, and he went home, amazed at what had happened.
Now that same day two of them were walking to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem,
and they were talking with each other about everything that had happened.
As they talked and discussed it, Jesus himself came near and walked along with them,
but their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
He said to them, "What is this you are debating with each other as you walk along?" They stopped, their faces downcast.
One of them, named Cleopas, answered him, "Are you the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know what has happened there in these days?"
"What things?" he asked. They said to him: "About Jesus of Nazareth. He was a prophet, mighty in deed and word before God and all the people,
and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over to be sentenced to death, and crucified him.
But we had hoped that he was the one who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is now the third day since these things happened.
What is more, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning,
and when they did not find his body, they came back saying they had even seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.
Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but him they did not see."
He said to them: "How foolish you are, and how slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
Did not the Christ have to suffer these things and then enter his glory?"
And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures.
As they came near the village where they were going, he acted as if he were going farther.
But they urged him strongly: "Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over." So he went in to stay with them.
When he was at the table with them, he took the bread, blessed it, broke it, and began to give it to them.
Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him—and he vanished from their sight.
They said to each other, "Were not our hearts burning within us while he talked with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?"
They got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, where they found the Eleven and those with them gathered together,
saying, "It is true! The Lord has risen and has appeared to Simon."
Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.
While they were still talking about this, Jesus himself stood among them.[^ Some manuscripts add: and said to them, "Peace be with you."]
They were startled and terrified, thinking they were seeing a ghost.
He said to them: "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts rise in your hearts?
Look at my hands and my feet. It is I myself. Touch me and see; a ghost does not have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."
When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
And while they still did not believe it for joy and were amazed, he asked them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
He said to them: "This is what I told you while I was still with you—that everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled."
Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.
He said to them: "This is what is written: the Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
You are witnesses of these things.
And behold, I am sending upon you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high."
Then he led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them.
While he was blessing them, he parted from them and was carried up into heaven.
And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
and they were continually in the temple, praising God.
