Acts 10:34-43

34 And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,

35 but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

36 The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (*he* is Lord of all things,)

37 *ye* know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached—

38 Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

39 *We* also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.

40 This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,

41 not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, *us* who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead.

42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that *he* it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead.

43 To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.

Jeremiah 31:1-6

31 At that time, saith Jehovah, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.

Thus saith Jehovah: The people [that were] left of the sword have found grace in the wilderness, [even] Israel, when I go to give him rest.

Jehovah hath appeared from afar unto me, [saying,] Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love; therefore with loving-kindness have I drawn thee.

I will build thee again, and thou shalt be built, O virgin of Israel! Thou shalt again be adorned with thy tambours, and shalt go forth in the dances of them that make merry.

Thou shalt again plant vineyards upon the mountains of Samaria; the planters shall plant, and shall eat the fruit.

For there shall be a day, when the watchmen upon mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let us go up to Zion, unto Jehovah our God.

Psalm 118:1-2

118 Give ye thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; for his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Oh let Israel say, that his loving-kindness [endureth] for ever.

Psalm 118:14-24

14 My strength and song is Jah, and he is become my salvation.

15 The voice of triumph and salvation is in the tents of the righteous: the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly;

16 The right hand of Jehovah is exalted, the right hand of Jehovah doeth valiantly.

17 I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of Jah.

18 Jah hath chastened me sore; but he hath not given me over unto death.

19 Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will enter into them; Jah will I praise.

20 This is the gate of Jehovah: the righteous shall enter therein.

21 I will give thee thanks, for thou hast answered me, and art become my salvation.

22 [The] stone which the builders rejected hath become the head of the corner:

23 This is of Jehovah; it is wonderful in our eyes.

24 This is the day that Jehovah hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Colossians 3:1-4

If therefore ye have been raised with the Christ, seek the things [which are] above, where the Christ is, sitting at [the] right hand of God:

have your mind on the things [that are] above, not on the things [that are] on the earth;

for ye have died, and your life is hid with the Christ in God.

When the Christ is manifested who [is] our life, then shall *ye* also be manifested with him in glory.

Acts 10:34-43

34 And Peter opening his mouth said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons,

35 but in every nation he that fears him and works righteousness is acceptable to him.

36 The word which he sent to the sons of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, (*he* is Lord of all things,)

37 *ye* know; the testimony which has spread through the whole of Judaea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism which John preached—

38 Jesus who [was] of Nazareth: how God anointed him with [the] Holy Spirit and with power; who went through [all quarters] doing good, and healing all that were under the power of the devil, because God was with him.

39 *We* also [are] witnesses of all things which he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem; whom they also slew, having hanged him on a cross.

40 This [man] God raised up the third day and gave him to be openly seen,

41 not of all the people, but of witnesses who were chosen before of God, *us* who have eaten and drunk with him after he arose from among [the] dead.

42 And he commanded us to preach to the people, and to testify that *he* it is who was determinately appointed of God [to be] judge of living and dead.

43 To him all the prophets bear witness that every one that believes on him will receive through his name remission of sins.

John 20:1-18

20 And on the first [day] of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.

She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb.

And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in.

Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying,

and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by itself.

Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed;

for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among [the] dead.

10 The disciples therefore went away again to their own home.

11 But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore she wept, she stooped down into the tomb,

12 and beholds two angels sitting in white [garments], one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13 And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14 Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

16 Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.

17 Jesus says to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] my God and your God.

18 Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had said these things to her.

Matthew 28:1-10

28 Now late on sabbath, as it was the dusk of the next day after sabbath, came Mary of Magdala and the other Mary to look at the sepulchre.

And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of [the] Lord, descending out of heaven, came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.

And his look was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow.

And for fear of him the guards trembled and became as dead men.

And the angel answering said to the women, Fear not *ye*, for I know that ye seek Jesus the crucified one.

He is not here, for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

And go quickly and say to his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and behold, he goes before you into Galilee, there shall ye see him. Behold, I have told you.

And going out quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, they ran to bring his disciples word.

And as they went to bring his disciples word, behold also, Jesus met them, saying, Hail! And they coming up took him by the feet, and did him homage.

10 Then Jesus says to them, Fear not; go, bring word to my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there they shall see me.
