He appeared to Peter. Then he appeared to the 12 apostles.After that, he appeared to more than 500 brothers and sisters at the same time. Most of them are still living. But some have died.He appeared to James. Then he appeared to all the apostles.

A week later, Jesus’ disciples were in the house again. Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came in and stood among them. He said,“ May peace be with you!”

For many days he was seen by those who had traveled with him from Galilee to Jerusalem. Now they are telling our people about Jesus.

Suddenly Jesus met them.“ Greetings!” he said. They came to him, took hold of his feet and worshiped him.

God’s kingdom is not about eating or drinking. It is about doing what is right and having peace and joy. All this comes through the Holy Spirit.

This was the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples after he was raised from the dead.

He preached boldly about God’s kingdom. He taught people about the Lord Jesus Christ. And no one could keep him from teaching and preaching about these things.

After this, Jesus appeared to his disciples again. It was by the Sea of Galilee. Here is what happened.

She went and told those who had been with him. She found them crying. They were very sad.They heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him. But they did not believe it.After that, Jesus appeared in a different form to two of them. This happened while they were walking out in the country.The two returned and told the others about it. But the others did not believe them either.Later Jesus appeared to the 11 disciples as they were eating. He spoke firmly to them because they had no faith. They would not believe those who had seen him after he rose from the dead.

Once the Pharisees asked Jesus when God’s kingdom would come. He replied,“ The coming of God’s kingdom is not something you can see.People will not say,‘ Here it is.’ Or,‘ There it is.’ That’s because God’s kingdom is among you.”

Early on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. It was still dark. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the entrance.So she ran to Simon Peter and another disciple, the one Jesus loved. She said,“ They have taken the Lord out of the tomb! We don’t know where they have put him!”So Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb.Both of them were running. The other disciple ran faster than Peter. He reached the tomb first.He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there. But he did not go in.Then Simon Peter came along behind him. He went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there.He also saw the funeral cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place. It was separate from the linen.The disciple who had reached the tomb first also went inside. He saw and believed.They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.But Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she cried, she bent over to look into the tomb.She saw two angels dressed in white. They were seated where Jesus’ body had been. One of them was where Jesus’ head had been laid. The other sat where his feet had been placed.They asked her,“ Woman, why are you crying?”“ They have taken my Lord away,” she said.“ I don’t know where they have put him.”Then she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she didn’t realize that it was Jesus.He asked her,“ Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” She thought he was the gardener. So she said,“ Sir, did you carry him away? Tell me where you put him. Then I will go and get him.”Jesus said to her,“ Mary.” She turned toward him. Then she cried out in the Aramaic language,“ Rabboni!” Rabboni means Teacher.Jesus said,“ Do not hold on to me. I have not yet ascended to the Father. Instead, go to those who believe in me. Tell them,‘ I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news. She said,“ I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.On the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were together. They had locked the doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came in and stood among them. He said,“ May peace be with you!”Then he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were very happy when they saw the Lord.Again Jesus said,“ May peace be with you! The Father has sent me. So now I am sending you.”

Then once again I fell down flat in front of the Lord with my face toward the ground. I lay there for 40 days and 40 nights. I didn’t eat any food or drink any water. You had committed a terrible sin. You had done an evil thing in the Lord’ s sight. You had made him angry.

So he got up. He ate and drank. The food gave him new strength. He traveled for 40 days and 40 nights. He kept going until he arrived at Horeb. It was the mountain of God.

“ So here is what I tell you. The kingdom of God will be taken away from you. It will be given to people who will produce its fruit.

Then the 11 disciples went to Galilee. They went to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.When they saw him, they worshiped him. But some still had their doubts.

I went up the mountain. I went there to receive the tablets of the covenant law. They were made out of stone. It was the covenant the Lord had made with you. I stayed on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights. I didn’t eat any food or drink any water.

It was very early in the morning on the first day of the week. The women took the spices they had prepared. Then they went to the tomb.They found the stone rolled away from it.When they entered the tomb, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.They were wondering about this. Suddenly two men in clothes as bright as lightning stood beside them.The women were terrified. They bowed down with their faces to the ground. Then the men said to them,“ Why do you look for the living among the dead?Jesus is not here! He has risen! Remember how he told you he would rise. It was while he was still with you in Galilee.He said,‘ The Son of Man must be handed over to sinful people. He must be nailed to a cross. On the third day he will rise from the dead.’ ”Then the women remembered Jesus’ words.They came back from the tomb. They told all these things to the 11 apostles and to all the others.Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them were the ones who told the apostles.But the apostles did not believe the women. Their words didn’t make any sense to them.But Peter got up and ran to the tomb. He bent over and saw the strips of linen lying by themselves. Then he went away, wondering what had happened.That same day two of Jesus’ followers were going to a village called Emmaus. It was about seven miles from Jerusalem.They were talking with each other about everything that had happened.As they talked about those things, Jesus himself came up and walked along with them.But God kept them from recognizing him.Jesus asked them,“ What are you talking about as you walk along?” They stood still, and their faces were sad.One of them was named Cleopas. He said to Jesus,“ Are you the only person visiting Jerusalem who doesn’t know? Don’t you know about the things that have happened there in the last few days?”“ What things?” Jesus asked.“ About Jesus of Nazareth,” they replied.“ He was a prophet. He was powerful in what he said and did in the sight of God and all the people.The chief priests and our rulers handed Jesus over to be sentenced to death. They nailed him to a cross.But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to set Israel free. Also, it is the third day since all this happened.Some of our women amazed us too. Early this morning they went to the tomb.But they didn’t find his body. So they came and told us what they had seen. They saw angels, who said Jesus was alive.Then some of our friends went to the tomb. They saw it was empty, just as the women had said. They didn’t see Jesus’ body there.”Jesus said to them,“ How foolish you are! How long it takes you to believe all that the prophets said!Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer these things and then receive his glory?”Jesus explained to them what was said about himself in all the Scriptures. He began with Moses and all the Prophets.They approached the village where they were going. Jesus kept walking as if he were going farther.But they tried hard to keep him from leaving. They said,“ Stay with us. It is nearly evening. The day is almost over.” So he went in to stay with them.He joined them at the table. Then he took bread and gave thanks. He broke it and began to give it to them.Their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. But then he disappeared from their sight.They said to each other,“ He explained to us what the Scriptures meant. Weren’t we excited as he talked with us on the road?”They got up and returned at once to Jerusalem. There they found the 11 disciples and those with them. They were all gathered together.They were saying,“ It’s true! The Lord has risen! He has appeared to Simon!”Then the two of them told what had happened to them on the way. They told how they had recognized Jesus when he broke the bread.The disciples were still talking about this when Jesus himself suddenly stood among them. He said,“ May you have peace!”They were surprised and terrified. They thought they were seeing a ghost.Jesus said to them,“ Why are you troubled? Why do you have doubts in your minds?Look at my hands and my feet. It’s really me! Touch me and see. A ghost does not have a body or bones. But you can see that I do.”After he said that, he showed them his hands and feet.But they still did not believe it. They were amazed and filled with joy. So Jesus asked them,“ Do you have anything here to eat?”They gave him a piece of cooked fish.He took it and ate it in front of them.Jesus said to them,“ This is what I told you while I was still with you. Everything written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms must come true.”Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures.He told them,“ This is what is written. The Messiah will suffer. He will rise from the dead on the third day.His followers will preach in his name. They will tell others to turn away from their sins and be forgiven. People from every nation will hear it, beginning at Jerusalem.You have seen these things with your own eyes.I am going to send you what my Father has promised. But for now, stay in the city. Stay there until you have received power from heaven.”Jesus led his disciples out to the area near Bethany. Then he lifted up his hands and blessed them.While he was blessing them, he left them. He was taken up into heaven.Then they worshiped him. With great joy, they returned to Jerusalem.Every day they went to the temple, praising God.

After 40 days and 40 nights of going without eating, Jesus was hungry.

“ In the time of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom. It will never be destroyed. And no other nation will ever take it over. It will crush all those other kingdoms. It will bring them to an end. But it will last forever.That’s what the vision of the rock cut out of a mountain means. Human hands didn’t cut out the rock. It broke the statue to pieces. It smashed the iron, bronze, clay, silver and gold.“ The great God has shown you what will take place in days to come. The dream is true. And you can trust the meaning of it that I have explained to you.”

He said,“ Turn away from your sins! The kingdom of heaven has come near.”

We gave you hope and strength. We comforted you. We really wanted you to live in a way that is worthy of God. He chooses you to enter his glorious kingdom.

He has saved us from the kingdom of darkness. He has brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.
