36 Let all the house of Israel therefore know for certain that (A)God has made him (B)both Lord and Christ, this Jesus (C)whom you crucified.”

37 Now when (D)they heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the apostles, “Brothers, (E)what shall we do?” 38 And Peter said to them, (F)“Repent and (G)be baptized every one of you (H)in the name of Jesus Christ (I)for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive (J)the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For (K)the promise is for you and (L)for your children and for all (M)who are far off, everyone (N)whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” 40 And with many other words he bore witness and continued to exhort them, saying, (O)“Save yourselves from this (P)crooked generation.” 41 So those who received his word were baptized, and (Q)there were added that day about three thousand souls.

36 “Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord(A) and Messiah.”(B)

37 When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, “Brothers, what shall we do?”(C)

38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized,(D) every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins.(E) And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.(F) 39 The promise is for you and your children(G) and for all who are far off(H)—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”

40 With many other words he warned them; and he pleaded with them, “Save yourselves from this corrupt generation.”(I) 41 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number(J) that day.

17 (A)The war horse is a false hope for salvation,
    and by its great might it cannot rescue.

18 Behold, (B)the eye of the Lord is on those who fear him,
    (C)on those who hope in his steadfast love,
19 that he may (D)deliver their soul from death
    and keep them alive in (E)famine.

20 Our soul (F)waits for the Lord;
    he is our (G)help and (H)our shield.
21 For our heart is (I)glad in him,
    because we (J)trust in his holy name.

17 A horse(A) is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes(B) of the Lord are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,(C)
19 to deliver them from death(D)
    and keep them alive in famine.(E)

20 We wait(F) in hope for the Lord;
    he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,(G)
    for we trust in his holy name.(H)

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And (A)she saw (B)two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, (C)“Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, (D)“They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and (E)saw Jesus standing, (F)but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, (G)“Woman, why are you weeping? (H)Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be (I)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.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic,[a] (J)“Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to (K)my brothers and say to them, (L)‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to (M)my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene (N)went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb(A) 12 and saw two angels in white,(B) seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”(C)

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”(D) 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,(E) but she did not realize that it was Jesus.(F)

15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?(G) Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic,(H) “Rabboni!”(I) (which means “Teacher”).

17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers(J) and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father(K) and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

18 Mary Magdalene(L) went to the disciples(M) with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
