THE RESURRECTION FULFILLED. Sup't. The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. School. Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. Sup't.-Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. School. So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. Sup't.-And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. School.-Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie; Sup't.-And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. School. Then went in also that other disciple which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. Sup't.-For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. School. Then the disciples went away again into their own home. Sup't.-But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre. School. And seeth two angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. Sup't. And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. School. And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. Sup't.-Jesus said unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? School. She supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away, say, Sup't.-Jesus saith unto her, Mary. School. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to Master. All.-Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; For I am not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. some time, will es - ev - er; Praise the Lord! we will na tion, Join ye now in the Christ is ris'n.

In this was manifest the love of God towards us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him. For if we be dead with him, we shall also live with him. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God. And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint heirs with Christ: if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is. When Christ, who is our life shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. |
