(34) Then, Peter, opening his mouth, said: “I have concluded in truth that God is not a respecter of persons (37) You know that the Word has been made known throughout all Judea. For beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached (38) Jesus of Nazareth, whom God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power, traveled around doing good and healing all those oppressed by the devil. For God was with him (39) And we are witnesses of all that he did in the region of Judea and in Jerusalem, he whom they killed by hanging him on a tree (40) God raised him up on the third day and permitted him to be made manifest (41) not to all the people, but to the witnesses preordained by God, to those of us who ate and drank with him after he rose again from the dead (42) And he instructed us to preach to the people, and to testify that he is the One who was appointed by God to be the judge of the living and of the dead (43) To him all the Prophets offer testimony that through his name all who believe in him receive the remission of sins.
Psalm 118:1-2, 16-17, 22-23
(1) Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever (2) Let Israel now say: For he is good, for his mercy is forever (16) The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue. The right hand of the Lord has exalted me. The right hand of the Lord has wrought virtue (17) I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord (22) The stone which the builders have rejected, this has become the head of the corner (23) By the Lord has this been done, and it is a wonder before our eyes
Colossians 3:1-4
(1) Therefore, if you have risen together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God (2) Consider the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth (3) For you have died, and so your life is hidden with Christ in God (4) When Christ, your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory
1 Corinthians 5:6-8
(6) It is not good for you to glory. Do you not know that a little leaven corrupts the entire mass (7) Purge the old leaven, so that you may become the new bread, for you are unleavened. For Christ, our Passover, has now been immolated (8) And so, let us feast, not with the old leaven, not with the leaven of malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth
John 20:1-9
(1) Then on the first Sabbath, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and she saw that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb (2) Therefore, she ran and went to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and she said to them, “They have taken the Lord away from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him. (3) Therefore, Peter departed with the other disciple, and they went to the tomb (4) Now they both ran together, but the other disciple ran more quickly, ahead of Peter, and so he arrived at the tomb first (5) And when he bowed down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not yet enter (6) Then Simon Peter arrived, following him, and he entered the tomb, and he saw the linen cloths lying there (7) and the separate cloth which had been over his head, not placed with the linen cloths, but in a separate place, wrapped up by itself (8) Then the other disciple, who had arrived first at the tomb, also entered. And he saw and believed (9) For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that it was necessary for him to rise again from the dead
Matthew 28:1-10
(1) Now on the morning of the Sabbath, when it began to grow light on the first Sabbath, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to see the sepulcher (2) And behold, a great earthquake occurred. For an Angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and as he approached, he rolled back the stone and sat down on it (3) Now his appearance was like lightning, and his vestment was like snow (4) Then, out of fear of him, the guards were terrified, and they became like dead men (5) Then the Angel responded by saying to the women: “Do not be afraid. For I know that you are seeking Jesus, who was crucified (6) He is not here. For he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where the Lord was placed (7) And then, go quickly, and tell his disciples that he has risen. And behold, he will precede you to Galilee. There you shall see him. Lo, I have told you beforehand. (8) And they went out of the tomb quickly, with fear and in great joy, running to announce it to his disciples (9) And behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Hail.” But they drew near and took hold of his feet, and they adored him (10) Then Jesus said to them: “Do not be afraid. Go, announce it to my brothers, so that they may go to Galilee. There they shall see me.
Luke 24:13-35
(13) And behold, two of them went out, on the same day, to a town named Emmaus, which was the distance of sixty stadia from Jerusalem (14) And they spoke to one another about all of these things that had occurred (15) And it happened that, while they were speculating and questioning within themselves, Jesus himself, drawing near, traveled with them (16) But their eyes were restrained, so that they would not recognize him (17) And he said to them, “What are these words, which you are discussing with one another, as you walk and are sad? (18) And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, responded by saying to him, “Are you the only one visiting Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in these days? (19) And he said to them, “What things?” And they said, “About Jesus of Nazareth, who was a noble prophet, powerful in works and in words, before God and all the people (20) And how our high priests and leaders handed him over to be condemned to death. And they crucified him (21) But we were hoping that he would be the Redeemer of Israel. And now, on top of all this, today is the third day since these things have happened (22) Then, too, certain women from among us terrified us. For before daytime, they were at the tomb (23) and, having not found his body, they returned, saying that they had even seen a vision of Angels, who said that he is alive (24) And some of us went out to the tomb. And they found it just as the women had said. But truly, they did not find him. (25) And he said to them: “How foolish and reluctant in heart you are, to believe everything that has been spoken by the Prophets (26) Was not the Christ required to suffer these things, and so enter into his glory? (27) And beginning from Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted for them, in all the Scriptures, the things that were about him (28) And they drew near to the town where they were going. And he conducted himself so as to go on further (29) But they were insistent with him, saying, “Remain with us, because it is toward evening and now daylight is declining.” And so he entered with them (30) And it happened that, while he was at table with them, he took bread, and he blessed and broke it, and he extended it to them (31) And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And he vanished from their eyes (32) And they said to one another, “Was not our heart burning within us, while he was speaking on the way, and when he opened the Scriptures to us? (33) And rising up at that same hour, they returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven gathered together, and those who were with them (34) saying: “In truth, the Lord has risen, and he has appeared to Simon. (35) And they explained the things that were done on the way, and how they had recognized him at the breaking of the bread
