¹ ¶ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. ² And the earth was without order, and empty; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. ³ ¶ And God said, Let there be light, and there was light. ⁴ And God saw that the light was good, and God divided the light from the darkness. ⁵ And God called the light Day and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. ⁶ ¶ And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. ⁷ And God made a firmament and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament; and it was so. ⁸ And God called the firmament Heavens. And the evening and the morning were the second day. ⁹ ¶ And God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear; and it was so. ¹⁰ And God called the dry land Earth, and the gathering together of the waters he called Seas; and God saw that it was good. ¹¹ And God said, Let the earth bring forth green grass, herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after its nature, whose seed is in itself upon the earth; and it was so. ¹² And the earth brought forth green grass and herb yielding seed after its kind and the tree yielding fruit whose seed was in itself, according to its nature; and God saw that it was good. ¹³ And the evening and the morning were the third day. ¹⁴ ¶ And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and for appointed times and for days and years; ¹⁵ and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth; and it was so. ¹⁶ And God made two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night; he made the stars also. ¹⁷ And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth ¹⁸ and to rule over the day and over the night and to divide the light from the darkness; and God saw that it was good. ¹⁹ And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. ²⁰ ¶ And God said, Let the waters bring forth great quantities of creatures with living souls and fowl that may fly above the earth upon the face of the firmament of the heavens. ²¹ And God created the great dragons and every living soul that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly after their nature, and every winged fowl after its nature; and God saw that it was good. ²² And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth. ²³ And the evening and the morning were the fifth day. ²⁴ ¶ And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living soul after its nature, beasts and serpents and animals of the earth after its nature; and it was so. ²⁵ And God made the beast of the earth after its kind and cattle after their kind and every thing that moves upon the earth after its kind; and God saw that it was good. ²⁶ ¶ And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over the beasts and over all the earth and over every serpent that moves upon the earth. ²⁷ So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. ²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the fowl of the air and over every beast that moves upon the earth. ²⁹ ¶ And God said, Behold, I have given you every grass bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for food. ³⁰ And to every beast of the earth and to every fowl of the air and to every thing that moves upon the earth, in which there is a living soul, I have given all green grass for food; and it was so. ³¹ ¶ And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

⁸ Thou shalt remember the sabbath day, to sanctify it. ⁹ Six days shalt thou labour and do all thy work; ¹⁰ but the seventh day shall be the sabbath of the LORD thy God; in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manslave, nor thy maidslave, nor thy beast, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates; ¹¹ for in six days the LORD made the heavens and earth, the sea, and all that is in them and rested the seventh day; therefore, the LORD blessed the sabbath day and sanctified it.

⁷ ¶ And the first of the sabbaths, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart the next day, and continued his word until midnight.

¹ ¶ Now upon the first of the sabbaths, very early in the morning they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. ² And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. ³ And they entered in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And it came to pass as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments; ⁵ and as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but is risen; remember how he spoke unto you when he was yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again. ⁸ Then they remembered his words ⁹ and returned from the sepulchre and told all these things unto the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James and other women that were with them who told these things unto the apostles. ¹¹ And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they did not believe them. ¹² But Peter arose and ran unto the sepulchre, and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass. ¹³ ¶ And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was about sixty furlongs from Jerusalem. ¹⁴ And they talked together of all these things which had happened. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near and went together with them. ¹⁶ But their eyes were held fast that they should not know him. ¹⁷ And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another as ye walk and are sad? ¹⁸ And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days? ¹⁹ Then he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, ²⁰ and how the princes of the priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death and crucified him. ²¹ But we were hoping that it was he who should redeem Israel, and beside all this, today is the third day since these things were done. ²² Although also certain women of our company made us astonished, who before daybreak were at the sepulchre; ²³ and when they did not find his body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that he was alive. ²⁴ And certain of those who were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said; but they did not see him. ²⁵ Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken; ²⁶ ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter (like this) into his glory? ²⁷ And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded this unto them in all the scriptures concerning himself. ²⁸ And they drew near unto the village where they went, and he made as though he would have gone further. ²⁹ But they constrained him, saying, Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent. And he went in to tarry with them. ³⁰ And it came to pass as he sat at the table with them, he took bread and blessed it and broke and gave to them. ³¹ And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he vanished out of their sight. ³² And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us while he talked with us in the way and while he opened to us the scriptures? ³³ And they rose up the same hour and returned to Jerusalem and found the eleven gathered together and those that were with them, ³⁴ saying, The Lord is risen indeed and has appeared to Simon. ³⁵ And they told what things were done in the way and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread. ³⁶ ¶ And as they spoke these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them and said unto them, Peace be unto you. ³⁷ But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed that they were seeing a spirit. ³⁸ And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? ³⁹ Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones, as ye see me have. ⁴⁰ And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet. ⁴¹ And as they were not believing him yet for joy and wondering, he said unto them, Have ye here any food? ⁴² So they gave him a piece of a broiled fish and of a honeycomb. ⁴³ And he took it and ate before them. ⁴⁴ And he said unto them, These are the words which I spoke unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses and in the prophets and in the psalms, concerning me. ⁴⁵ Then he opened their understanding that they might understand the scriptures ⁴⁶ and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behooved the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day; ⁴⁷ and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning from Jerusalem. ⁴⁸ And ye are witnesses of these things. ⁴⁹ And, behold, I shall send the promise of my Father upon you, but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem until ye are endued with power from on high. ⁵⁰ ¶ And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands and blessed them. ⁵¹ And it came to pass while he blessed them, he was parted from them and carried up into heaven. ⁵² And they worshipped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy ⁵³ and were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

¹ ¶ The first of the sabbaths, Mary Magdalene came early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre and saw the stone taken away from the sepulchre. ² Then she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him. ³ Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. ⁴ So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the sepulchre. ⁵ And he, stooping down and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet he did not go in. ⁶ Then came Simon Peter following him and went into the sepulchre and saw the linen clothes lying ⁷ and the napkin, that had been placed over his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. ⁸ Then that other disciple, who came first to the sepulchre, went in also and he saw and believed. ⁹ For as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. ¹⁰ Then the disciples went away again unto their own. ¹¹ ¶ But Mary stood outside near the sepulchre weeping, and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre ¹² and saw two angels in white sitting, the one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been placed. ¹³ And they said unto her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She said unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. ¹⁴ And when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there and did not know that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus said unto her, Woman, why dost thou weep? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, said unto him, Lord, if thou didst carry him off, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus said unto her, Mary! Turning herself around, she said unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master. ¹⁷ Jesus said unto her, Touch me not, for I have 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. ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene came giving the news to the disciples, That I have seen the Lord, and he spoke these things unto me. ¹⁹ ¶ Then the same day at evening, being the first of the sabbaths, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said unto them, Peace be unto you. ²⁰ And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. ²¹ Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be unto you; as my Father has sent me, even so send I you. ²² And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit; ²³ unto those whose sins ye release, they shall be released; and unto those whose sins ye retain, they shall be retained. ²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ The other disciples, therefore, said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Unless I shall see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe. ²⁶ ¶ And again eight days later, his disciples were within and Thomas with them; then Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace be unto you. ²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, Reach here thy finger and behold my hands and reach here thy hand and thrust it into my side and be not unbelieving, but faithful. ²⁸ And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. ²⁹ Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are those that have not seen and yet have believed. ³⁰ And Jesus truly did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; ³¹ but these are written that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.

¹⁶ And in the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, except that which every person must eat, that only may be done of you.

² Each first sabbath let each one of you set aside in store, as God has prospered him, that there be no collections when I come.
