⁶ Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid; ^(A)go and tell ^(B)my brothers to go to Galilee, and there they will see me.”

³⁶ For David, after he had ^(A)served the purpose of God in his own generation, ^(B)fell asleep and ^(C)was laid with his fathers and saw corruption,

⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter that ^(A)he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, ^(B)just as he told you.”
