| 5 And entering into the sepulchre,
they saw a young man sitting on the
right side, clothed in a long white
garment; and they were affrighted. |
| 5 And the angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear not ye: for I
know that ye seek Jesus, which was
crucified. | 6 And 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. |
| 6 He is not here: for he is risen,
as he said. Come, see the place
where the Lord lay. | |
| 7 And 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. | 7 But 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. |

| 12 Then 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. | 3 Peter therefore went forth, and
that other disciple, and came to the
sepulchre. |
| 4 So they ran both together: and
the other disciple did outrun Peter,
and came first to the sepulchre. |
| 5 And he stooping down, and looking
in, saw the linen clothes lying;
yet went he not in. |
| 6 Then cometh Simon Peter following
him, and went into the sepulchre,
and seeth the linen clothes lie; |
| 7 And the napkin that was about
his head, not lying with the linen
clothes, but wrapped together in a
place by itself. |
| 8 Then went in also that other disciple
which came first to the sepulchre,
and he saw, and believed. |
| 9 For as yet they knew not the
scripture, that he must rise again from
the dead. |
| 10 Then the disciples went away
again unto their own home. |

| 11 But Mary stood without at the
sepulchre weeping: and as she wept
she stooped down and looked into
the sepulchre, | 9 Now, when Jesus was risen early,
the first day of the week, he appeared
first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom
he had cast seven devils. |
| 12 And seeth two angels in white,
sitting, the one at the head, and the
other at the feet, where the body of
Jesus had lain. | |
| 13 And they say unto her, Woman,
why weepest thou? She saith unto
them, Because they have taken away
my Lord, and I know not where they
have laid him. | |
| 14 And when she had thus said,
she turned herself back, and saw Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was
Jesus. | |
| 15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
why weepest thou? whom seekest
thou? She, supposing him to be the
gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou
have borne him hence, tell me where
thou hast laid him, and I will take him
away. | |
| 16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary.
She turned herself, and saith unto him,
Rabboni, which is to say, Master. | |
| 17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me
not: for I am not yet ascended to my
Father: but go to my brethren, and say
unto them, I ascend unto my Father
and your Father, and to my God and
your God. | 10 And she went and told them that
had been with him, as they mourned
and wept. |
| 18 Mary Magdalene came and told
the disciples that she had seen the
Lord, and that he had spoken these
things unto her. | 11 And they, when they had heard
that he was alive, and had been seen
of her, believed not. |
| Mark. | Luke. |
| CH. XVI. 12, 13. | CH. XXIV. 13-35. |
| 12 After that, he appeared in another
form unto two of them, as they
walked, and went into the country. | 13 And behold, two of them went
that same day to a village called
Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem
about threescore furlongs. |
| 14 And they talked together of all
these things which had happened. |
| 15 And it came to pass, that, while
they communed together, and reasoned,
Jesus himself drew near, and went
with them. |
| 16 But their eyes were holden, that
they should not know him. |
| 17 And he said unto them, What
manner of communications are these
that ye have one to another, as ye
walk, and are sad? |
| 18 And the one of them, whose
name was Cleopas, answering, said
unto him, Art thou only a stranger
in Jerusalem, and hast not known the
things which are come to pass there
in these days? |
| 19 And he said unto them, What
things? And they said unto him, Concerning
Jesus of Nazareth, which was
a prophet mighty in deed and word
before God, and all the people: |
| 20 And how the chief priests and
our rulers delivered him to be condemned
to death, and have crucified
him. |
| 21 But we trusted that it had been
he which should have redeemed Israel:
and besides all this, to-day is the
third day since these things were
done. |
| 22 Yea, and certain women also of
our company made us astonished,
which were early at the sepulchre. |
| 23 And when they found not his
body, they came, saying, that they
had also seen a vision of angels, which
said that he was alive. |
| 24 And certain of them which were
with us, went to the sepulchre, and
found it even so as the women had
said: but him they saw not. |
| 25 Then he said unto them, O fools,
and slow of heart to believe all that
the prophets have spoken! |
| 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered
these things, and to enter into
his glory? |
| 27 And beginning at Moses, and
all the prophets, he expounded unto
them in all the scriptures the things
concerning himself. |
| 28 And they drew nigh unto the
village whither they went: and he
made as though he would have gone
further. |
| 29 But they constrained him, saying,
Abide with us: for it is toward
evening, and the day is far spent.
And he went in to tarry with them. |
| 30 And it came to pass, as he sat
at meat with them, he took bread,
and blessed it, and brake, and gave to
them. |
| 31 And their eyes were opened,
and they knew him: and he vanished
out of their sight. |
| 32 And they said one to another,
Did not our heart burn within us
while he talked with us by the way,
and while he opened to us the scriptures? |
| 13 And they went and told it unto
the residue: neither believed they them. | 33 And they rose up the same hour,
and returned to Jerusalem, and found
the eleven gathered together, and
them that were with them, |
| 34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed,
and hath appeared to Simon.[308] |
| 35 And they told what things were
done in the way, and how he was
known of them in breaking of bread. |
| Luke. | John. |
| CH. XIV. 36-49. | CH. XX. 19-23. |
| 36 And as they thus spake, Jesus
himself stood in the midst of them,
and saith unto them, Peace be unto
you. | 19 Then the same day at evening,
being the first day of the week, when
the doors were shut where the disciples
were assembled for fear of the
Jews, came Jesus and stood in the
midst, and saith unto them, Peace be
unto you. |
| 37 But they were terrified and affrighted,
and supposed that they had
seen a spirit. | |
| 38 And he said unto them, Why are
ye troubled? and why do thoughts
arise in your hearts? | |
| 39 Behold my hands and my feet,
that it is I myself: handle me, and
see; for a spirit hath not flesh and
bones, as ye see me have. | 20 And when he had so said, he
shewed unto them his hands and his
side. Then were the disciples glad
when they saw the Lord. |
| 40 And when he had thus spoken,
he shewed them his hands and his
feet. | |
| 41 And while they yet believed not
for joy, and wondered, he said unto
them, Have ye here any meat? | |
| 42 And they gave him a piece of
a broiled fish, and of an honey-comb. | |
| 43 And he took it, and did eat
before them. | |
| 44 And he said unto them, These
are the words which I spake unto you,
while I was yet with you, that all
things must be fulfilled which were
written in the law of Moses, and in
the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning
me. | 21 Then said Jesus to them again,
Peace be unto you: as my Father hath
sent me, even so send I you. |
| 45 Then opened he their understanding,
that they might understand
the scriptures, | 22 And when he had said this, he
breathed on them, and saith unto them,
Receive ye the Holy Ghost. |
| 46 And said unto them, Thus it is
written, and thus it behoved Christ to
suffer, and to rise from the dead the
third day: | 23 Whose soever sins ye remit,
they are remitted unto them; and
whose soever sins ye retain, they are
retained. |
| 47 And that repentance and remission
of sins should be preached in his
name among all nations, beginning at
Jerusalem. | |
| 48 And ye are witnesses of these
things. | |
| 49 And behold, I send the promise
of my Father upon you: but tarry ye
in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be
endued with power from on high. | |
| John. | |
| CH. XX. 24-29. | |
| 24 But Thomas, one of the twelve,
called Didymus, was not with them
when Jesus came. | |
| 25 The other disciples therefore
said unto him, We have seen the
Lord. But he said unto them, Except
I shall see in his hands the print of the
nails, and put my finger into the print
of the nails, and thrust my hand into
his side, I will not believe. | |
| 26 And after eight days again his
disciples were within, and Thomas
with them: then came Jesus, the doors
being shut, and stood in the midst, and
said, Peace be unto you. | |
| 27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach
hither thy finger, and behold my
hands; and reach hither thy hand,
and thrust it into my side; and be not
faithless, but believing. | |
| 28 And Thomas answered and said
unto him, My Lord and my God. | |
| 29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas,
because thou hast seen me, thou hast
believed: blessed are they that have
not seen and yet have believed. | |
| Matthew. | John. |
| CH. XXVIII. 16. | CH. XXI. 1-24. |
| 16 Then the eleven disciples went
away into Galilee, | After these things Jesus shewed
himself again to the disciples at the
sea of Tiberias; and on this wise
shewed he himself. |
| 2 There were together Simon Peter,
and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael
of Cana in Galilee, and the
sons of Zebedee, and two other of his
disciples. |
| 3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I
go a fishing. They say unto him,
We also go with thee. They went
forth, and entered into a ship immediately;
and that night they caught
nothing. |
| 4 But when the morning was now
come, Jesus stood on the shore; but
the disciples knew not that it was
Jesus. |
| 5 Then Jesus saith unto them,
Children, have ye any meat? They
answered him, No. |
| 6 And he said unto them, Cast the
net on the right side of the ship, and
ye shall find. They cast therefore,
and now they were not able to draw
it for the multitude of fishes. |
| 7 Therefore that disciple whom
Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the
Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard
that it was the Lord, he girt his
fisher's coat unto him, (for he was
naked) and did cast himself into the
sea. |
| 8 And the other disciples came in
a little ship (for they were not far
from land, but as it were two hundred
cubits) dragging the net with fishes. |
| 9 As soon then as they were come
to land, they saw a fire of coals there,
and fish laid thereon, and bread. |
| 10 Jesus saith unto them, bring of
the fish which ye have now caught. |
| 11 Simon Peter went up, and drew
the net to land full of great fishes, an
hundred and fifty and three: and for
all there were so many, yet was not
the net broken. |
| 12 Jesus saith unto them, Come
and dine. And none of the disciples
durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing
that it was the Lord. |
| 13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh
bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. |
| 14 This is now the third time that
Jesus shewed himself to his disciples,
after that he was risen from the dead. |
| 15 So when they had dined, Jesus
saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of
Jonas, lovest thou me more than
these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord:
thou knowest that I love thee. He
saith unto him, Feed my lambs. |
| 16 He saith to him again the
second time, Simon, son of Jonas,
lovest thou me? He saith unto him,
Yea, Lord: thou knowest that I love
thee. He saith unto him, Feed my
sheep. |
| 17 He saith unto him the third
time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou
me? Peter was grieved because he
said unto him the third time, Lovest
thou me? And he said unto him,
Lord, thou knowest all things; thou
knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith
unto him, Feed my sheep. |
| 18 Verily, verily, I say unto thee,
When thou wast young, thou girdest
thyself, and walkedst whither thou
wouldest: but when thou shalt be
old, thou shalt stretch forth thy
hands, and another shall gird thee,
and carry thee whither thou wouldest
not. |
| 19 This spake he, signifying by
what death he should glorify God.
And when he had spoken this, he
saith unto him, Follow me. |
| 20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth
the disciple whom Jesus loved, following;
(which also leaned on his breast
at supper, and said, Lord, which is he
that betrayeth thee?) |
| 21 Peter seeing him, saith to Jesus,
Lord, and what shall this man do? |
| 22 Jesus saith unto him, if I will
that he tarry till I come, what is that
to thee? Follow thou me. |
| 23 Then went this saying abroad
among the brethren, that that disciple
should not die: yet Jesus said not
unto him, He shall not die; but, if I
will that he tarry till I come, what
is that to thee? |
| 24 This is the disciple which testifieth
of these things, and wrote these
things: and we know that his testimony
is true. |
The title of this section in inserted, for the sake of preserving the series of Dr. Robinson, whose arrangement has been followed in this Harmony; but as the appearances of Jesus which are here referred to, are related only by Luke in Acts, i. 3-8, and by Paul in 1 Cor. xv. 7, the particular insertion of those passages is omitted, for the reasons already given. See § 137, note. The subject of this and the eleven preceding sections, respecting the resurrection of Jesus, is discussed in the Note on the Resurrection.
