37You know that the Word has been made known throughout all Judea. For beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached, 38Jesus 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. 39And 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. 40God raised him up on the third day and permitted him to be made manifest, 41not 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. 42And 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. 43To him all the Prophets offer testimony that through his name all who believe in him receive the remission of sins.”
1Alleluia. Confess to the Lord, for he is good, for his mercy is forever. 2Let Israel now say: For he is good, for his mercy is forever. 3Let the house of Aaron now say: For his mercy is forever. 4Let those who fear the Lord now say: For his mercy is forever. 5In my tribulation, I called upon the Lord. And the Lord heeded me with generosity. 6The Lord is my helper. I will not fear what man can do to me. 7The Lord is my helper. And I will look down upon my enemies. 8It is good to trust in the Lord, rather than to trust in man. 9It is good to hope in the Lord, rather than to hope in leaders. 10All the nations have surrounded me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them. 11Surrounding me, they closed in on me. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them. 12They surrounded me like a swarm, and they burned like fire among the thorns. And, in the name of the Lord, I have been avenged over them. 13Having been pushed, I was overturned so as to fall. But the Lord took me up. 14The Lord is my strength and my praise. And he has become my salvation. 15A voice of exultation and salvation is in the tabernacles of the just. 16The 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. 17I will not die, but I will live. And I will declare the works of the Lord. 18When chastising, the Lord chastised me. But he has not delivered me over to death. 19Open the gates of justice to me. I will enter them, and I will confess to the Lord. 20This is the gate of the Lord. The just will enter by it. 21I will confess to you because you have heard me. And you have become my salvation. 22The stone which the builders have rejected, this has become the head of the corner. 23By the Lord has this been done, and it is a wonder before our eyes.
1Therefore, if you have risen together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2Consider the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth. 3For you have died, and so your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4When Christ, your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
1Then 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. 2Therefore, 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.” 3Therefore, Peter departed with the other disciple, and they went to the tomb. 4Now they both ran together, but the other disciple ran more quickly, ahead of Peter, and so he arrived at the tomb first. 5And when he bowed down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not yet enter. 6Then Simon Peter arrived, following him, and he entered the tomb, and he saw the linen cloths lying there, 7and the separate cloth which had been over his head, not placed with the linen cloths, but in a separate place, wrapped up by itself. 8Then the other disciple, who had arrived first at the tomb, also entered. And he saw and believed. 9For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that it was necessary for him to rise again from the dead.
