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”.
19 If we are ones having hoped in Christ in this life only, we are more pitiable[a] than all people.
But Christ Has Been Raised As The Firstfruit of Those Yet To Be Raised
20 But now, Christ has been raised from the dead— the firstfruit[b] of the ones having fallen-asleep. 21 For since death came through a man, the resurrection of dead ones also came through a man. 22 For just as in[c] Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be given-life[d], 23 but each in his own order[e]: Christ the firstfruit; after-that[f] the ones of [g] Christ at His coming. 24 Then[h] comes the end— when He hands-over the kingdom to His God and Father, when He[i] has abolished all[j] rule and all authority and power. 25 For He[k] must reign until which time He[l] has put all the enemies under His feet. 26 Death, the last enemy, is abolished[m]—

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.
24 1 but on the first day of the week at deep dawn, they went to the tomb bringing the spices which they prepared. 2 And they found the stone having been rolled-away from the tomb. 3 But having gone in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it came about during their being perplexed about this, that behold— two men[a] stood-near them in gleaming[b] clothing. 5 And they[c] having become terrified and bowing their faces to the ground, they[d] said to them, “Why are you seeking the Living One among the dead? 6 He is not here, but He arose. Remember how He spoke to you while still being in Galilee, 7 saying as to the Son of Man that He must be handed-over into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and rise-up on the third day”. 8 And they remembered His words.
The Women Report To The Others. Peter Runs To See
9 And having returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10 Now the women were the Magdalene[e] Mary, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them. They were saying these things to the apostles. 11 And these words appeared in their sight as if nonsense[f], and they were not-believing[g] them. 12 But Peter, having arisen, ran to the tomb. And having stooped-to-look, he sees the linen-cloths only[h]. And he went away marveling[i] to himself as to the thing having taken place.
