She went and reported to those who had been with him, as they were mourning and weeping.Yet, when they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.After this, he appeared in a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country.And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.Later he appeared to the Eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw him after he had risen.

John 20:1-21
On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb.So she went running to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them,“ They’ve taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they’ve put him!”At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb.The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.Then, following him, Simon Peter also came. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.The wrapping that had been on his head was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a separate place by itself.The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then also went in, saw, and believed.For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he must rise from the dead.Then the disciples returned to the place where they were staying.But Mary stood outside the tomb, crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.She saw two angels in white sitting where Jesus’s body had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet.They said to her,“ Woman, why are you crying?”“ Because they’ve taken away my Lord,” she told them,“ and I don’t know where they’ve put him.”Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know it was Jesus.“ Woman,” Jesus said to her,“ why are you crying? Who is it that you’re seeking?” Supposing he was the gardener, she replied,“ Sir, if you’ve carried him away, tell me where you’ve put him, and I will take him away.”Jesus said to her,“ Mary.” Turning around, she said to him in Aramaic,“ Rabboni!”— which means“ Teacher.”“ Don’t cling to me,” Jesus told her,“ since I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples,“ I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what he had said to her.When it was evening on that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because they feared the Jews. Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them,“ Peace be with you.”Having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.Jesus said to them again,“ Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.”

Luke 24:1-53
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.They went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling clothes.So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.“ Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men.“ He is not here, but he has risen! Remember how he spoke to you when he was still in Galilee,saying,‘ It is necessary that the Son of Man be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day’?”And they remembered his words.Returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the rest.Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them were telling the apostles these things.But these words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. When he stooped to look in, he saw only the linen cloths. So he went away, amazed at what had happened.Now that same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.Together they were discussing everything that had taken place.And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus himself came near and began to walk along with them.But they were prevented from recognizing him.Then he asked them,“ What is this dispute that you’re having with each other as you are walking?” And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.The one named Cleopas answered him,“ Are you the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?”“ What things?” he asked them. So they said to him,“ The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet powerful in action and speech before God and all the people,and how our chief priests and leaders handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him.But we were hoping that he was the one who was about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day since these things happened.Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb,and when they didn’t find his body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said he was alive.Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see him.”He said to them,“ How foolish you are, and how slow to believe all that the prophets have spoken!Wasn’t it necessary for the Messiah to suffer these things and enter into his glory?”Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them the things concerning himself in all the Scriptures.They came near the village where they were going, and he gave the impression that he was going farther.But they urged him,“ Stay with us, because it’s almost evening, and now the day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.It was as he reclined at the table with them that he took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized him, but he disappeared from their sight.They said to each other,“ Weren’t our hearts burning within us while he was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us?”That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven and those with them gathered together,who said,“ The Lord has truly been raised and has appeared to Simon!”Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how he was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.As they were saying these things, he himself stood in their midst. He said to them,“ Peace to you!”But they were startled and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost.“ Why are you troubled?” he asked them.“ And why do doubts arise in your hearts?Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself! Touch me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.”Having said this, he showed them his hands and feet.But while they still were amazed and in disbelief because of their joy, he asked them,“ Do you have anything here to eat?”So they gave him a piece of a broiled fish,and he took it and ate in their presence.He told them,“ These are my words that I spoke to 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 also said to them,“ This is what is written: The Messiah will suffer and rise from the dead the third day,and repentance for forgiveness of sins will be proclaimed in his name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.You are witnesses of these things.And look, I am sending you what my Father promised. As for you, stay in the city until you are empowered from on high.”Then he led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, and lifting up his hands he blessed them.And while he was blessing them, he left them and was carried up into heaven.After worshiping him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.And they were continually in the temple praising God.

“ In the days of those kings, the God of the heavens will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever.You saw a stone break off from the mountain without a hand touching it, and it crushed the iron, bronze, fired clay, silver, and gold. The great God has told the king what will happen in the future. The dream is certain, and its interpretation reliable.”
