Peter Begins Proclaiming The Gospel To Cornelius
34 And Peter, having opened his mouth, said, “I understand, in accordance with [God’s] truth, that God is not a respecter-of-persons, 35 but in every nation, the one fearing Him and working righteousness is acceptable[a] to Him. 36 As to the message which He sent-forth to the sons of Israel announcing-the-good-news-of peace through Jesus Christ, this One is Lord of all[b]. 37 You know the matter[c] having taken place throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John proclaimed[d], 38 as to Jesus from Nazareth— how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power; Who went about doing-good and healing all the ones being oppressed by the devil, because God was with Him. 39 And we are witnesses of everything which He did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; Whom indeed they killed, having hung Him on a cross. 40 God raised this One on the third day, and granted that He become visible— 41 not to all the people, but to witnesses having been chosen-beforehand by God; to us, who ate with and drank with Him after He rose-up from the dead. 42 And He commanded us to proclaim to the people, and to solemnly-warn that this One is the One having been designated[e] by God as judge of the living and the dead. 43 All the prophets testify concerning[f] this One, that everyone believing in Him receives forgiveness of sins through His name”.
Concerning The Resurrection: Christ Was Raised From The Dead And Seen By Many
15 Now I make-known to you, brothers, the good-news which I announced-as-good-news to you, which you also received, in which you also stand, 2 through which you also are being saved— if [a] you are holding-on in that message I announced-as-good-news to you, unless[b] you believed in-vain. 3 For I delivered to you among the first[c] things what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, 4 and that He was buried, and that He has been raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. 6 After that He appeared to over five-hundred brothers at-one-time, of whom the majority are remaining until now. But some fell-asleep. 7 After that He appeared to James, then to all the apostles. 8 And last of all, as-if-indeed[d] to the untimely-born[e] one, He appeared to me also. 9 For I am the least of the apostles— who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am. And His grace toward me did not become[f] empty[g]. But I labored even more than them all— yet not I, but the grace of God with me. 11 So whether it was I or those, thus we are proclaiming, and thus you believed.

On The First Day of the Week, Jesus Is Not Found In The Tomb
20 Now on the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene goes to the tomb early-in-the-morning— there still being darkness— and sees the stone having been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she runs and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple[a] whom Jesus was loving. And she says to them, “They took the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they put Him”. 3 So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and were going to the tomb. 4 And the two were running together. And the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first. 5 And having stooped-to-look, he sees the linen-cloths lying there, but he did not enter. 6 Then Simon Peter also comes, following him. And he entered into the tomb. And he sees the linen-cloths lying there, 7 and the face-cloth which was on His head— not lying with the linen-cloths, but apart-from them, having been wrapped-up[b] in one place. 8 So at that time the other disciple also entered— the one having come to the tomb first— and saw and believed[c]. 9 For they did not yet understand the Scripture— that He must rise-up from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went away again to them[d].
Jesus Meets Mary The Magdalene And Tells Her To Announce His Resurrection
11 Now Mary was standing outside at the tomb, weeping. Then as she was weeping, she stooped-to-look into the tomb. 12 And she sees two angels in white, sitting— one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus was lying. 13 And those ones say to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She says to them, “Because[e] they took my Lord, and I do not know where they put Him”. 14 Having said these things, she turned back, and sees Jesus standing there. And she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus says to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” That one, thinking that He is the gardener, says to Him, “Sir, if you carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will take Him”. 16 Jesus says to her, “Mary”. That one, having turned, says to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher). 17 Jesus says to her, “Do not be clinging-to[f] Me, for I have not[g] yet gone-up to the Father. But go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I am going-up[h] to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God’”. 18 Mary the Magdalene comes, announcing to the disciples that “I have seen the Lord”, and that He said these things to her.
Jesus Rises From The Dead. The Women Find The Tomb Empty
16 And the Sabbath having passed[a], Mary the Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices in order that having come, they might anoint Him. 2 And very early-in-the-morning on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb— the sun having risen. 3 And they were saying to themselves, “Who will roll-away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?” 4 And having looked-up, they see that the stone has been rolled-away. For it was extremely large. 5 And having entered into the tomb, they saw a young-man sitting at the right, having been clothed-with a white robe. And they were alarmed. 6 But the one says to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are seeking Jesus from-Nazareth, the One having been crucified. He arose, He is not here. Look— the place where they laid Him! 7 But go, tell His disciples and Peter that ‘He is going-ahead-of you to Galilee. You will see Him there, just as He told you’”. 8 And having gone out, they fled from the tomb. For trembling and astonishment was holding them. And they said nothing to anyone, for they were fearing.
[Most Greek manuscripts have this “Long[b] Ending” after verse 8, but two of the oldest omit it].
