Resurrection Accounts

I’d like to make available to you here some of the Resurrection Accounts found in the Scriptures. You might like to do some reading about them on your own. In any case, it’s pretty cool to see them laid out together.

Mark 16:1-8

The women find the tomb empty and encounter a young man who announces that Jesus has risen.

The women find the stone rolled away from the tomb and encounter angels who declare that Jesus is alive.

Mary Magdalene goes to the tomb and finds the stone rolled away. She runs to tell Peter and John, who then run to the tomb.

John 20:11-18

Mary remains at the tomb weeping. She sees Jesus, thinking it is the gardener. Jesus calls her by name, “Mary.” She recognizes him. She then goes to the disciples and tells them that she has seen the Risen Lord.

Jesus appears to the Apostles, showing them his hands and feet, and eating with them, proving he is not a ghost.
