Accounts of the Resurrection of Jesus
Matthew 28:1-10
Now after the sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary
Mag'dalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulchre. And behold, there
was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and
came and rolled back the stone, and sat upon it. His appearance was like
lightning, and his raiment white as snow. And for fear of him the guards
trembled and became like dead men. But the angel said to the women, "Do not
be afraid; for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here;
for he has risen, as he said. Come, see the place where he lay. Then go
quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold,
he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. Lo, I have told
you." So they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and
ran to tell his disciples. And behold, Jesus met them and said, "Hail!" And
they came up and took hold of his feet and worshiped him. Then Jesus said to
them, "Do not be afraid; go and tell my brethren to go to Galilee, and there
they will see me."
Mark 16:1-8
And when the sabbath was past, Mary Mag'dalene, and Mary the mother of
James, and Salo'me, bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. And
very early on the first day of the week they went to the tomb when the sun
had risen. And they were saying to one another, "Who will roll away the
stone for us from the door of the tomb?" And looking up, they saw that the
stone was rolled back; -- it was very large. And entering the tomb, they saw
a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they
were amazed. And he said to them, "Do not be amazed; you seek Jesus of
Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen, he is not here; see the place
where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter that he is going
before you to Galilee; there you will see him, as he told you." And they
went out and fled from the tomb; for trembling and astonishment had come
upon them; and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.
Luke
24:1-10
 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the
tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. And they found the stone
rolled away from the tomb, but when they went in they did not find the body.
While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in
dazzling apparel; and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the
ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead?
Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, that the Son of man
must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the
third day rise." And they remembered his words, and returning from the tomb
they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. Now it was Mary
Mag'dalene and Jo-an'na and Mary the mother of James and the other women
with them who told this to the apostles; but these words seemed to them an
idle tale, and they did not believe them. But Peter rose and ran to the
tomb; stopping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths by themselves; and he
went home wondering what had happened.
John 20:1-18
Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag'dalene came to the tomb early,
while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the
tomb. So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one
whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the
tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." Peter then came out with
the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. They both ran, but the
other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first; and stooping to look
in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon
Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths
lying, and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen
cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who
reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet
they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. Then the
disciples went back to their homes. But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb,
and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in
white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at
the feet. They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them,
"Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have
laid him." Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did
not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?
Whom do you seek?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir,
if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will
take him away." Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in
Hebrew, "Rab-bo'ni!" (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, "Do not hold
me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say
to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your
God." Mary Mag'dalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen the
Lord"; and she told them that he had said these things to her.
