6 And on this mountain shall the LORD of Hosts make a feast of fat things for all people, a feast of refined wines, of fat things full of marrow, of refined and purified wines.
7 And on this mountain, He will destroy the covering that covers all people, and the veil that is spread upon all nations.
8 He will destroy death forever. And the LORD God will wipe away the tears from all faces. And He will take away the rebuke of His people out of all the Earth. For the LORD has spoken it.
9 And on that day men shall say, “Lo, this is our God! We have waited for Him, and He will save us! This is the LORD! We have waited for Him! We will rejoice and be joyful in salvation!”
118 Praise the LORD because He is good; for His mercy endures forever!
2 Let Israel now say, “His mercy endures forever!”
14 The LORD is my strength and song; for He has been my deliverance.
15 The voice of joy and deliverance is in the tabernacles of the righteous. The right hand of the LORD has done valiantly.
16 The right hand of the LORD is exalted. The right hand of the LORD has done valiantly.
17 I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the LORD.
18 The LORD has chastened me severely; but He has not delivered me to death.
19 Open the gates of righteousness to me, so that I may go into them and praise the LORD.
20 This is the gate of the LORD. The righteous shall enter into it.
21 I will praise You; for You have heard me and have been my deliverance.
22 The Stone which the builders refused is the Head of the Corner.
23 This was the LORD’s doing. It is marvelous in our eyes,
24 This is the day the LORD has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it!
15 Moreover brothers, I declare to you the Gospel which I preached to you, which you have also received, and wherein you continue,
2 And whereby you are saved, if you keep in memory the Word which I preached to you, unless you have believed in vain.
3 For first of all, I delivered to you that which I received, how that Christ died for our sins, according to the Scriptures.
4 And that He was buried, and that He arose the third day, according to the Scriptures.
5 And that He was seen by Cephas, then by the Twelve.
6 After that, He was seen by more than five hundred brothers at once, of whom many remain to this time, and some also are asleep.
7 After that, He was seen by James, then by all the Apostles.
8 And last of all he was seen also by me, as by one born at the wrong time.
9 For I am the least of the Apostles, who is not fit to be called an Apostle, because I persecuted the Church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am that I am. And His grace which is in me, was not in vain. But I labored more abundantly than they all; yet not I, but the grace of God which is with me.
11 Therefore, whether it was me or them, so we preach and so have you believed.
34 Then Peter opened his mouth, and said, “Truthfully, I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.
35 “But in every Nation, the one who fears Him, and works righteousness, is acceptable to Him.
36 “The Word - which God has sent to the children of Israel, preaching peace by Jesus Christ, Who is Lord of all -
37 “you know the Word which came through all Judea, beginning in Galilee, after the Baptism which John preached;
38 “how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost, and with power - Who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil - for God was with Him.
39 “And we are witnesses of all things done by Him Whom they killed and hung on a tree (things in both the land of the Jews and in Jerusalem).
40 “God raised Him up the third day, and showed Him openly -
41 “not to all the people, but to the witnesses chosen by God beforehand - to those of us who ate and drank with Him after He arose from the dead.

20 Now, the first of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the sepulcher - early, when it was still dark. And she saw the stone taken away from the tomb.
2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher! And we do not know where they have laid Him!”
3 Therefore, Peter went out, and the other disciple, and they came to the sepulcher.
4 So they both ran together. But the other disciple outran Peter and came to the sepulcher first.
5 And he stooped down and saw the linen clothes lying. Still, he did not go in.
6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the sepulcher. And he saw the linen clothes, laying.
7 And the facecloth that was upon His head was not laying with the linen clothes but was wrapped together in a place by itself.
8 Then the other disciple (who had first come to the sepulcher) went in also. And he saw it and believed.
9 For as yet they did not know the Scripture, “That He must rise again from the dead”.
10 And the disciples went away again to their own home.
11 But Mary stood outside the sepulcher, weeping. And as she wept, she stooped down into the sepulcher
12 and saw two angels in white, sitting - one at the head and the other at the feet - where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they said to her, “Woman, why do you weep?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”
14 When she had said this, she turned back and saw Jesus, standing. And she didn’t know that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?” She, supposing that He was the gardener, said to Him, “Sir, if you have taken Him from here, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned, and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, “Master”)
17 Jesus said to her, “Do not touch Me. For I am not yet ascended to My Father. But, go to My brothers and say to them, ‘I ascend to My Father, and to your Father, and to My God, and your God’.”
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.
16 And when the Sabbath day had passed, Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of James and Salome bought sweet ointments so that they might come and anoint Jesus.
2 Therefore, early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came to the sepulcher, when the Sun was now risen.
3 And they said to each other, “Who shall we have roll away the stone from the door of the sepulcher?”
4 But when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away (for it was a very great one).
5 So they went into the sepulcher and saw a young man sitting at the right side, clothed in a long white robe. And they were awestruck.
6 But he said to them, “Do not be so troubled. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, Who was crucified. He is risen. He is not here. Behold the place where they put Him.
7 “But go your way, and tell His disciples, and Peter, that He will go before you into Galilee. There you shall see Him, as He said to you.”
8 And they went out quickly and fled from the sepulcher. For they trembled and were amazed. Nor did they say anything to anyone, for they were afraid.
