day began.

And the women which came with him out of Galilee followed, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments. And for the sabbath day they kept silence according to the law.
(Luke)
Chapter 24
Christ’s resurrection and ascension.

But on the sabbath day very early they came to the sepulchre, bearing the spices which they had prepared, and some with them.

And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.

And they went in, and found not the body of HErm JEsu.

And when they were troubled, behold, there came unto them two men clothed in shining garments.

And they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth. And they said unto them: Why seek ye the living among the dead?

He is not here: he is risen. Remember how he told you while he was still in Galilee, 7. Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinners, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

And they remembered his words.

And they departed again from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

And there was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and others with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

And they interpreted their words as if they were fables, and believed them not.

And Peter arose, and ran unto the sepulchre, and stooped down, and saw the linen clothes lying by themselves, and departed; and he wondered how it was done.

And, behold, two of them went that same day unto a place sixty leagues from Jerusalem, whose name is Emmaus.

And they spake one to another of all these tales.

And it came to pass, as they thus spake and consulted one another, that JEsus drew nigh unto them, and walked with them.

But their eyes were kept from knowing him.

And he said unto them: What manner of words are these which ye traffick among yourselves in the way, and are grieved?

Then answered one named Cleophas, and said unto him, Art thou alone among the strangers that are at Jerusalem, that knowest not what is done in these days within?

And he said unto them: Which? And they said unto him, That of JEsu of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people; 20. As our chief priests and our rulers delivered him up to be condemned to death, and crucified.

And we hoped that he would redeem Israel: and this day is the third day of all this, that it is come to pass.

And some of our wives, which were early at the sepulchre, have frightened us, 23. Not having found his body, come and say they have seen a vision of angels, which say he liveth.

And some of us went unto the sepulchre, and found it so, as the women said; but they found him not.

And he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!

Did not Christ suffer these things, and enter into his glory?

And began from Moses and all the prophets, and expounded unto them all the scriptures which were spoken by him.

And they came nigh unto the place where they went. And he stood as though he would go on.

And they compelled him, saying: Abide with us: for it will be evening, and the day is come.
And he went in to abide with them.

And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave to them.

And their eyes were opened, and they knew him. And he disappeared before them.

And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, when he spake unto us in the way, when he opened unto us the scriptures?

And they arose at that hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven gathered together, and them that were with them,

Which said: The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared unto Simon.

And they told them the things that were done in the way, and how he was known of them in the day that he brake bread].

And as they spake of it, he himself, Jesus, stood in the midst of them, and said unto them: Peace be unto you!

And they were afraid, and were astonished, and thought they saw a spirit.

And he said unto them: Why are ye so terrified, and why do such thoughts come into your hearts?

Behold my hands and my feet; it is I myself: feel me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see that I have.

And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and feet.

And when they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he saith unto them: Have ye here anything to eat?

And they set before him a piece of broiled fish and honeycomb.

And he took it, and did eat before them.

And he said unto them: These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you: for all things must be fulfilled which are written of me in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms.

Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scripture.

And said unto them: Thus it is written, and thus Christ must suffer, and rise from the dead the third day.

and preach repentance and remission of sins in his name among all nations, and lift up Jerusalem].

But ye are witnesses of all these things.

And, behold, I will send upon you the promise of my Father. And ye shall dwell in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be clothed with power from on high.

And he led them out to Bethany, and lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

And it came to pass, when he had blessed them, that he departed from them, and ascended into heaven.

And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy.

And were in the temple all the way, praising and glorifying God.

Gospel of John ^
Chapter 1
Of Christ’s person and office Of Andrew, Peter, Philip, and Nathanael, his disciples.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD, and GOD was the Word.

The same was in the beginning with God.

All things are made by them; and without them is not any thing made that is made.

In him was life, and the life was the light of men.

And the light shineth in the darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not.

There was a man sent of God, whose name was John.

The same came for a testimony, that he might bear witness of the light, that they all might believe through him.

He was not the light, but that he should bear witness of the light.

that was the true light which enlightens all men who come into this world.

It was in the world, and the world was made by it, and the world knew it not.

He came into his own, and his own received him not.

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the children of God, who believe on his name.

Which are born, not of the blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, a glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth].

John beareth witness of him, and crieth out, saying, This was he of whom I said, After me shall come he that was before me: for he was before me.

And of his fulness have we all taken grace for grace.

For the law was given by Moses: but grace and truth were given by Jesus Christ.

No one has ever seen God. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, he hath
declared it unto us.

And this is the testimony of John, when the Jews sent priests and Levites from Jerusalem, to ask him, Who art thou?

And he confessed, and denied not: and he confessed: I am not Christ.

And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elijah? And he said: I am not. Art thou a prophet?
And he answered, No.

And they said unto him, What art thou then? that we may give answer to them that sent us.
What sayest thou of thyself?

And he said: I am a voice of a preacher in the wilderness: Direct the way of the LORD! as the prophet Isaiah said.

And they that were sent were of the Pharisees.

And they asked him, saying unto him, Why baptizest thou then, seeing thou art not Christ, nor Elias, nor a prophet?

John answered them, and said: I baptize with water: but he is come into the midst of you, whom ye know not.

He that shall come after me, which was before me, that I am not worthy to loose his shoe laces.

This was done at Bethabara, on the other side Jordan, when John was baptizing].

And the next day John saw Jesus coming to him, and saying, Behold, this is the Lamb of God, which bare the sin of the world.

This is he of whom I said: After me cometh a man that was before me: for he was before me.

And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest in Israel, therefore am I come to baptize with water.

And John bare witness, saying: I saw the Spirit descend like a dove from heaven, and remain upon him.

And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the
