Appearances of the Risen Lord
[9 Early(A) on the first day of the week,(B) after He had risen,(C) He appeared first to Mary Magdalene,(D) out of whom He had driven seven demons.(E) 10 She went and reported to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping. 11 Yet, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.(F) 12 Then after this, He appeared(G) in a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country.(H) 13 And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.
The Great Commission
14 Later, He appeared to the Eleven(I) themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw Him after He had been resurrected.(J) 15 Then(K) He said to them, “Go into all the world(L) and preach the gospel to the whole creation.(M) 16 Whoever believes(N) and is baptized will be saved,(O) but whoever does not believe will be condemned.(P) 17 And these signs will accompany those who believe: In My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages; 18 they will pick up snakes;[a](Q) if they should drink anything deadly, it will never harm(R) them; they will lay hands on(S) the sick, and they will get well.”
