Jesus Has Risen^(A)

16 When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices^(B) so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. ² Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb ³ and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”^(C)

⁴ But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. ⁵ As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe^(D) sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

⁶ “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene,^(E) who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. ⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him,^(F) just as he told you.’”^(G)

⁸ Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.^[a]

¹⁹ If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.^(A)

²⁰ But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead,^(B) the firstfruits^(C) of those who have fallen asleep.^{(D) 21} For since death came through a man,^(E) the resurrection of the dead^(F) comes also through a man. ²² For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive.^{(G) 23} But each in turn: Christ, the firstfruits;^(H) then, when he comes,^(I) those who belong to him.^{(J) 24} Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom^(K) to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.^{(L) 25} For he must reign^(M) until he has put all his enemies under his feet.^{(N) 26} The last enemy to be destroyed is death.^(O)
