HE IS RISEN INDEED!

  The Resurrection 24  But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.   2  And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb,   3  but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.   4  While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel.   5  And as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?   6  He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee,   7  that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and on the third day rise.”   8  And they remembered his words, 9  and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. 10  Now it was Mary ...

THE LORD IS RISEN!

  Jesus Has Risen 28  After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. 2  There was a violent earthquake, for an angelof the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it.   3  His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow.   4  The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. 5  The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.   6  He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.   7  Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” 8  So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples....

The Crucifixion (Mark)

  The Crucifixion 21  And they compelled a passerby, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross.   22  And they brought him to the place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull).   23  And they offered him wine mixed with myrrh, but he did not take it.   24  And they crucified him and divided his garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take.   25  And it was the third hour [ d ]  when they crucified him.   26  And the inscription of the charge against him read, “The King of the Jews.”   27  And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his right and one on his left. [ e ]   29  And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads and saying, “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days,   30  save yourself, and come ...

The Crucifixion (Luke)

  The Crucifixion 26  And as they led him away, they seized one Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, and laid on him the cross, to carry it behind Jesus.   27  And there followed him a great multitude of the people and of women who were mourning and lamenting for him. 28  But turning to them Jesus said,  “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.   29  For behold, the days are coming when they will say, ‘Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!’   30  Then they will begin to say to the mountains, ‘Fall on us,’ and to the hills, ‘Cover us.’   31  For if they do these things when the wood is green, what will happen when it is dry?” 32  Two others, who were criminals, were led away to be put to death with him.   33  And when they came to the place that is called The Skull, the...

  The Crucifixion of Jesus 32  As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.   33  They came to a place called Golgotha (which means “the place of the skull”).   34  There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.   35  When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.   36  And sitting down, they kept watch over him there.   37  Above his head they placed the written charge against him:  this is jesus, the king of the jews . 38  Two rebels were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.   39  Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads   40  and saying, “You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days,save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!”   41...

Decalogue

  20  And God spoke all these words, saying, 2  “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of slavery. 3  “You shall have no other gods before me. 4  “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. 5  You shall not bow down to them or serve them, for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, 6  but showing steadfast love to thousands of those who love me and keep my commandments. 7  “You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes his name in vain. 8  “Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. 9  Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 10  but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your ...
