The Resurrection
(Matthew 28.1-8Luke 24.1-12John 20.1-10)1 After the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices to go and anoint the body of Jesus. 2 Very early on Sunday morning, at sunrise, they went to the tomb. 3-4 On the way they said to one another, “Who will roll away the stone for us from the entrance to the tomb?” (It was a very large stone.) Then they looked up and saw that the stone had already been rolled back. 5 So they entered the tomb, where they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe—and they were alarmed.
6 “Don't be alarmed,” he said. “I know you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is not here—he has been raised! Look, here is the place where he was placed. 7 Now go and give this message to his disciples, including Peter: ‘He is going to Galilee ahead of you; there you will see him, just as he told you.’”
8 So they went out and ran from the tomb, distressed and terrified. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.
AN OLD ENDING TO THE GOSPEL
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
(Matthew 28.9Matthew 10John 20.11-18)[ 9 After Jesus rose from death early on Sunday, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had driven out seven demons. 10 She went and told his companions. They were mourning and crying; 11 and when they heard her say that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe her.
Jesus Appears to Two Followers
(Luke 24.13-35)12 After this, Jesus appeared in a different manner to two of them while they were on their way to the country. 13 They returned and told the others, but these would not believe it.
Jesus Appears to the Eleven
(Matthew 28.16-20Luke 24.36-49John 20.19-23Acts 1.6-8)14 Last of all, Jesus appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating. He scolded them, because they did not have faith and because they were too stubborn to believe those who had seen him alive. 15 He said to them, “Go throughout the whole world and preach the gospel to all people. 16 Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17 Believers will be given the power to perform miracles: they will drive out demons in my name; they will speak in strange tongues; 18 if they pick up snakes or drink any poison, they will not be harmed; they will place their hands on sick people, and these will get well.”
Jesus Is Taken Up to Heaven
(Luke 24.50-53Acts 1.9-11)19 After the Lord Jesus had talked with them, he was taken up to heaven and sat at the right side of God. 20 The disciples went and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and proved that their preaching was true by the miracles that were performed.]
ANOTHER OLD ENDING
[ 9 The women went to Peter and his friends and gave them a brief account of all they had been told. 10 After this, Jesus himself sent out through his disciples from the east to the west the sacred and everliving message of eternal salvation.]
1 Un, kad sabata diena bija pagājusi, tad Marija Magdalēna un Marija, Jēkaba māte, un Salome pirka dārgas svaidāmās zāles, lai ietu un Jēzu svaidītu. 2 Un pirmajā nedēļas dienā ļoti agri, saulei lecot, tās gāja uz kapu 3 un runāja savā starpā: "Kas mums novels akmeni no kapa durvīm?" 4 Un paskatīdamās tās redzēja, ka akmens bija novelts; tas bija ļoti liels. 5 Un, kapā iegājušas, tās redzēja kādu jaunekli pa labo roku sēžam, apģērbtu garās baltās drēbēs. Un tās izbijās. 6 Viņš tām sacīja: "Nebīstieties! Jūs meklējat Jēzu no Nacaretes, kas bija krustā sists; Viņš ir augšāmcēlies, Viņa nav šeit: redziet še to vietu, kur Viņu nolika; 7 bet noeita un sakait to Viņa mācekļiem un Pēterim, ka Viņš jums pa priekšu noies uz Galileju, tur jūs Viņu redzēsit, kā Viņš jums ir sacījis." 8 Un tās izgāja ārā un bēga no kapa, jo drebēšana un bailes tās bija pārņēmušas, tās nesacīja nevienam nenieka, jo tās bijās. 9 Bet, uzcēlies pirmajā nedēļas dienā rīta agrumā, Jēzus parādījās papriekš Marijai Magdalēnai, no kuras Viņš septiņus ļaunus garus bija izdzinis. 10 Šī gāja un pasludināja to tiem, kas ar Viņu bijuši un tagad skuma un raudāja. 11 Un tie, dzirdēdami, ka Viņš esot dzīvs un tā Viņu redzējusi, neticēja. 12 Bet pēc tam, kad divi no tiem staigāja, Jēzus, tiem uz lauku ejot, parādījās citā veidā. 13 Un tie arīdzan nogājuši to pārējiem pasludināja, tomēr arī tiem viņi neticēja. 14 Bet pēc tam Viņš parādījās tiem vienpadsmit pie galda sēžot un norāja viņu neticību un cietsirdību, ka tie nebija ticējuši tiem, kas pēc Viņa augšāmcelšanās Viņu jau bija redzējuši. 15 Un Viņš tiem sacīja: "Eita pa visu pasauli un pasludiniet evaņģēliju visai radībai. 16 Kas tic un top kristīts, tas tiks izglābts, bet, kas netic, tiks pazudināts. 17 Bet šīs zīmes ticīgiem ies līdzi: Manā Vārdā tie ļaunus garus izdzīs, jaunām mēlēm runās, 18 tie ar rokām pacels čūskas, un, kad tie dzers nāvīgas zāles, tad tās tiem nekaitēs. Neveseliem viņi rokas uzliks, un tie kļūs veseli." 19 Un Tas Kungs, kad Viņš ar tiem bija runājis, ir uzņemts debesīs un sēž pie Dieva labās rokas. 20 Un tie izgāja un mācīja visās malās, un Tas Kungs tiem darbā palīdzēja un vārdu apstiprināja ar līdzejošām zīmēm.
