³¹ And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, “O you of ^(A)little faith, why did you doubt?”

⁵¹ Behold, I tell you a ^[a]mystery: ^(A)We shall not all sleep, ^(B)but we shall all be changed— ⁵² in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. ^(C)For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

¹⁶ For ^(A)the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with ^(B)the trumpet of God. ^(C)And the dead in Christ will rise first. ^17 (D)Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them ^(E)in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus ^(F)we shall always be with the Lord.

The Witnesses Resurrected

^11 (A)Now after the three-and-a-half days ^(B)the breath of life from God entered them, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell on those who saw them. ¹² And ^[a]they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, “Come up here.” ^(C)And they ascended to heaven ^(D)in a cloud, ^(E)and their enemies saw them.
