Resurrection Sunday 2024

Happy Resurrection Sunday!

For Resurrection Sunday this year, I am taking it easy since I am still mostly out of office.

We’re just sharing the relevant Scriptures. Which is more powerful than anything I could say, anyway.

Here they are. Cheers, and may God bless all of you on this wonderful holy day:

Luke
24 Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
²And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.
³And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
⁴And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:
⁵And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?
⁶He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,
⁷Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.
⁸And they remembered his words,
⁹And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
¹⁰It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.
¹¹And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
¹²Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

Mark
16 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.
²And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
³And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
⁴And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.
⁵And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.
⁶And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
⁷But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.
⁸And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

Matthew
28 In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
²And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.
³His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
⁴And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.
⁵And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.
⁶He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
⁷And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.
⁸And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.
⁹And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
¹⁰Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

John
20 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
²Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
³Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
⁴So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
⁵And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
⁶Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
⁷And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
⁸Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
⁹For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
¹⁰Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
