22 And as in Adam all men die, so [and] in Christ all men shall be quickened.
23 But each man in his order; the first fruit, Christ [first fruits, Christ], afterward they that be of Christ, that believed in the coming of Christ;

20 And in one day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the grave, when it was yet dark[a]. And she saw the stone moved away from the grave.
2 Therefore she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to another disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken the Lord from the grave, and we know not, where they have laid him.
3 Therefore Peter went out, and that other disciple, and they came to the grave.
4 And they twain ran together [Forsooth they two ran together], and that other disciple ran before Peter, and came first to the grave.
5 And when he stooped, he saw the sheets lying, nevertheless he entered not [in].
6 Therefore Simon Peter came following him, and he entered into the grave, and he saw the sheets laid,
7 and the sudarium that was on his head, not laid with the sheets, but by itself wrapped into a place.
8 Therefore then [and] that disciple that came first to the grave, entered, and saw, and believed.
9 For they knew not yet the scripture, that it behooved him to rise again from death.[b]
10 Therefore the disciples went again to themselves.
11 But Mary stood at the grave withoutforth weeping. And while she wept, she bowed her(self), and beheld forth into the grave.
12 And she saw two angels sitting in white, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid.
13 And they say to her, Woman, what weepest thou? She said to them, For they have taken away my Lord, and I know not, where they have laid him.
14 When she had said these things, she turned backward [she turned aback], and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith to her, Woman, what weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She guessing that he was the gardener, saith to him, Sire, if thou hast taken him up, say to me, where thou hast laid him, and I shall take him away.
16 Jesus saith to her, Mary. She turned, and saith to him, Rabboni, that is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith to her, Do not thou touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God [and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God].
18 Mary Magdalene came, telling to the disciples, That I saw the Lord, and these things he said to me.
24 But in one day of the week full early they came to the grave, and brought sweet smelling spices, that they had arrayed [bringing sweet spices, which they had made ready].
2 And they found the stone turned away from the grave.
3 And they went in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 And it was done, the while [while] they were astonished in thought of this thing, lo! two men stood beside them in shining cloak[a].
5 And when they dreaded, and bowed their semblance into the earth, they said to them, What seek ye him that liveth with dead men [What seek ye the living with the dead]?
6 He is not here, but is risen. Have ye mind, how he spake to you, when he was yet in Galilee,
7 and said [saying], For it behooveth man's Son to be betaken into the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.
8 And they bethought on his words.
9 And they went again from the grave, and told all these things to the eleven, and to all [the] others.
10 And there was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and other women that were with them, that said to the apostles these things [that said these things to the apostles].
11 And these words were seen to them as madness [And these words were seen before them as madness], and they believed not to them.
12 But Peter rose up, and ran to the grave; and he bowed down, and saw the linen clothes lying alone. And he went by himself, wondering on that that was done.[b]
