Bible verses about "easter" | YLT

¹ Who hath given credence to that which we heard? And the arm of Jehovah, On whom hath it been revealed? ² Yea, he cometh up as a tender plant before Him, And as a root out of a dry land, He hath no form, nor honour, when we observe him, Nor appearance, when we desire him. ³ He is despised, and left of men, A man of pains, and acquainted with sickness, And as one hiding the face from us, He is despised, and we esteemed him not.
⁴ Surely our sicknesses he hath borne, And our pains—he hath carried them, And we—we have esteemed him plagued, Smitten of God, and afflicted. ⁵ And he is pierced for our transgressions, Bruised for our iniquities, The chastisement of our peace is on him, And by his bruise there is healing to us. ⁶ All of us like sheep have wandered, Each to his own way we have turned, And Jehovah hath caused to meet on him, The punishment of us all. ⁷ It hath been exacted, and he hath answered, And he openeth not his mouth, As a lamb to the slaughter he is brought, And as a sheep before its shearers is dumb, And he openeth not his mouth. ⁸ By restraint and by judgment he hath been taken, And of his generation who doth meditate, That he hath been cut off from the land of the living? By the transgression of My people he is plagued, ⁹ And it appointeth with the wicked his grave, And with the rich are his high places, Because he hath done no violence, Nor is deceit in his mouth.
¹⁰ And Jehovah hath delighted to bruise him, He hath made him sick, If his soul doth make an offering for guilt, He seeth seed—he prolongeth days, And the pleasure of Jehovah in his hand doth prosper. ¹¹ Of the labour of his soul he seeth—he is satisfied, Through his knowledge give righteousness Doth the righteous one, My servant, to many, And their iniquities he doth bear. ¹² Therefore I give a portion to him among the many, And with the mighty he apportioneth spoil, Because that he exposed to death his soul, And with transgressors he was numbered, And he the sin of many hath borne, And for transgressors he intercedeth.

¹ The Visions of Isaiah son of Amoz, that he hath seen concerning Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
² Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, For Jehovah hath spoken: Sons I have nourished and brought up, And they—they transgressed against Me. ³ An ox hath known its owner, And an ass the crib of its master, Israel hath not known, My people hath not understood. ⁴ Ah, sinning nation, a people heavy with iniquity, A seed of evil doers, sons—corrupters! They have forsaken Jehovah, They have despised the Holy One of Israel, They have gone away backward. ⁵ Wherefore are ye stricken any more? Ye do add apostasy! Every head is become diseased, and every heart is sick. ⁶ From the sole of the foot—unto the head, There is no soundness in it, Wound, and bruise, and fresh smiting! They have not been closed nor bound, Nor have they softened with ointment. ⁷ Your land is a desolation, your cities burnt with fire, Your ground, before you strangers are consuming it, And a desolation as overthrown by strangers! ⁸ And left hath been the daughter of Zion, As a booth in a vineyard, As a lodge in a place of cucumbers—as a city besieged. ⁹ Unless Jehovah of Hosts had left to us a remnant, Shortly—as Sodom we had been, To Gomorrah we had been like!
¹⁰ Hear the word of Jehovah, ye rulers of Sodom, Give ear to the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah, ¹¹ `Why to Me the abundance of your sacrifices? saith Jehovah, I have been satiated with burnt-offerings of rams, And fat of fatlings; And blood of bullocks, and lambs, And he-goats I have not desired. <sup>12</sup> When ye come in to appear before Me, Who hath required this of your hand, To trample My courts? <sup>13</sup> Add not to bring in a vain present, Incense—an abomination it is to Me, New moon, and sabbath, calling of convocation! Rendure not iniquity—and a restraint! <sup>14</sup> Your new moons and your set seasons hath My soul hated, They have been upon me for a burden, I have been weary of bearing. <sup>15</sup> And in your spreading forth your hands, I hide mine eyes from you, Also when ye increase prayer, I do not hear, Your hands of blood have been full.
<sup>16</sup> Wash ye, make ye pure, Turn aside the evil of your doings, from before Mine eyes, Cease to do evil, learn to do good. <sup>17</sup> Seek judgment, make happy the oppressed, Judge the fatherless, strive for the widow. <sup>18</sup> Come, I pray you, and we reason, saith Jehovah, If your sins are as scarlet, as snow they shall be white, If they are red as crimson, as wool they shall be! <sup>19</sup> If ye are willing, and have hearkened, The good of the land ye consume, <sup>20</sup> And if ye refuse, and have rebelled, By the sword ye are consumed, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken.
<sup>21</sup> How hath a faithful city become a harlot? I have filled it with judgment, Righteousness lodgeth in it—now murderers. <sup>22</sup> Thy silver hath become dross, Thy drink polluted with water. <sup>23</sup> Thy princes are apostates, and companions of thieves, Every one loving a bribe, and pursuing rewards, The fatherless they judge not, And the plea of the widow cometh not to them. <sup>24</sup> Therefore—the affirmation of the Lord—Jehovah of Hosts, the Mighty One of Israel: Ah, I am eased of Mine adversaries, And I am avenged of Mine enemies, <sup>25</sup> And I turn back My hand upon thee, And I refine as purity thy dross, And I turn aside all thy tin, <sup>26</sup> And I give back thy judges as at the first, And thy counsellors as in the beginning, After this thou art called, `A city of righteousness—a faithful city.' ²⁷ Zion in judgment is redeemed, And her captivity in righteousness. ²⁸ And the destruction of transgressors and sinners is together, And those forsaking Jehovah are consumed. ²⁹ For men are ashamed because of the oaks That ye have desired, And ye are confounded because of the gardens That ye have chosen. ³⁰ For ye are as an oak whose leaf is fading, And as a garden that hath no water. ³¹ And the strong hath been for tow, And his work for a spark, And burned have both of them together, And there is none quenching!

⁹ `I ask in regard to them; not in regard to the world do I ask, but in regard to those whom Thou hast given to me, because Thine they are,

⁴² So also is the rising again of the dead: it is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption; ⁴³ it is sown in dishonour, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; ⁴⁴ it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body; there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body;

²⁵ who was delivered up because of our offences, and was raised up because of our being declared righteous.

¹¹ And not only so, but we are also boasting in God, through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom now we did receive the reconciliation;

⁷ cleanse out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, according as ye are unleavened, for also our passover for us was sacrificed—Christ,

¹ Give ye thanks to Jehovah, For good, for to the age is His kindness. ² Give ye thanks to the God of gods, For to the age is His kindness. ³ Give ye thanks to the Lord of lords, For to the age is His kindness. ⁴ To Him doing great wonders by Himself alone, For to the age is His kindness. ⁵ To Him making the heavens by understanding, For to the age is His kindness. ⁶ To Him spreading the earth over the waters, For to the age is His kindness. ⁷ To Him making great lights, For to the age is His kindness. ⁸ The sun to rule by day, For to the age is His kindness. ⁹ The moon and stars to rule by night, For to the age is His kindness.
¹⁰ To Him smiting Egypt in their first-born, For to the age is His kindness. ¹¹ And bringing forth Israel from their midst, For to the age is His kindness. ¹² By a strong hand, and a stretched-out-arm, For to the age is His kindness. ¹³ To Him cutting the sea of Suph into parts, For to the age is His kindness, ¹⁴ And caused Israel to pass through its midst, For to the age is His kindness, ¹⁵ And shook out Pharaoh and his force in the sea of Suph, For to the age is His kindness. ¹⁶ To Him leading His people in a wilderness, For to the age is His kindness. ¹⁷ To Him smiting great kings, For to the age is His kindness. ¹⁸ Yea, He doth slay honourable kings, For to the age is His kindness. ¹⁹ Even Sihon king of the Amorite, For to the age is His kindness. ²⁰ And Og king of Bashan, For to the age is His kindness. ²¹ And He gave their land for inheritance, For to the age is His kindness. ²² An inheritance to Israel His servant, For to the age is His kindness.
²³ Who in our lowliness hath remembered us, For to the age is His kindness. ²⁴ And He delivereth us from our adversaries, For to the age is His kindness. ²⁵ Giving food to all flesh, For to the age is His kindness. ²⁶ Give ye thanks to the God of the heavens, For to the age is His kindness!

¹ And the sabbath having past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they may anoint him, ² and early in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, they come unto the sepulchre, at the rising of the sun, ³ and they said among themselves, `Who shall roll away for us the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?' <sup>4</sup> And having looked, they see that the stone hath been rolled away—for it was very great, <sup>5</sup> and having entered into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, arrayed in a long white robe, and they were amazed. <sup>6</sup> And he saith to them, `Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise—he is not here; lo, the place where they laid him! ⁷ and go, say to his disciples, and Peter, that he doth go before you to Galilee; there ye shall see him, as he said to you.' ⁸ And, having come forth quickly, they fled from the sepulchre, and trembling and amazement had seized them, and to no one said they anything, for they were afraid.

¹ And on the eve of the sabbaths, at the dawn, toward the first of the sabbaths, came Mary the Magdalene, and the other Mary, to see the sepulchre, ² and lo, there came a great earthquake, for a messenger of the Lord, having come down out of heaven, having come, did roll away the stone from the door, and was sitting upon it, ³ and his countenance was as lightning, and his clothing white as snow, ⁴ and from the fear of him did the keepers shake, and they became as dead men. ⁵ And the messenger answering said to the women, `Fear not ye, for I have known that Jesus, who hath been crucified, ye seek; <sup>6</sup> he is not here, for he rose, as he said; come, see the place where the Lord was lying; <sup>7</sup> and having gone quickly, say ye to his disciples, that he rose from the dead; and lo, he doth go before you to Galilee, there ye shall see him; lo, I have told you.' <sup>8</sup> And having gone forth quickly from the tomb, with fear and great joy, they ran to tell to his disciples; <sup>9</sup> and as they were going to tell to his disciples, then lo, Jesus met them, saying, `Hail!' and they having come near, laid hold of his feet, and did bow to him. ¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to them, `Fear ye not, go away, tell to my brethren that they may go away to Galilee, and there they shall see me.'
<sup>11</sup> And while they are going on, lo, certain of the watch having come to the city, told to the chief priests all the things that happened, <sup>12</sup> and having been gathered together with the elders, counsel also having taken, they gave much money to the soldiers, <sup>13</sup> saying, `Say ye, that his disciples having come by night, stole him—we being asleep; ¹⁴ and if this be heard by the governor, we will persuade him, and you keep free from anxiety.' ¹⁵ And they, having received the money, did as they were taught, and this account was spread abroad among Jews till this day.
¹⁶ And the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mount where Jesus appointed them, ¹⁷ and having seen him, they bowed to him, but some did waver. ¹⁸ And having come near, Jesus spake to them, saying, `Given to me was all authority in heaven and on earth; ¹⁹ having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them—to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, ²⁰ teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days—till the full end of the age.'

³⁶ and as they are speaking these things, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith to them, `Peace—to you;' <sup>37</sup> and being amazed, and becoming affrighted, they were thinking themselves to see a spirit. <sup>38</sup> And he said to them, `Why are ye troubled? and wherefore do reasonings come up in your hearts? ³⁹ see my hands and my feet, that I am he; handle me and see, because a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me having.'

¹ And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb, ² she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, `They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid him.' <sup>3</sup> Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb, <sup>4</sup> and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb, <sup>5</sup> and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not. <sup>6</sup> Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying, <sup>7</sup> and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place; <sup>8</sup> then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe; <sup>9</sup> for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again. <sup>10</sup> The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends,
<sup>11</sup> and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, and beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting, <sup>12</sup> one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid. <sup>13</sup> And they say to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep?' she saith to them, `Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid him;' <sup>14</sup> and these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus. <sup>15</sup> Jesus saith to her, `Woman, why dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, `Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay him, and I will take him away;' <sup>16</sup> Jesus saith to her, `Mary!' having turned, she saith to him, `Rabbouni;' that is to say, `Teacher.' ¹⁷ Jesus saith to her, `Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to your God.' ¹⁸ Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and that these things he said to her.

¹ Call with the throat, restrain not, As a trumpet lift up thy voice, And declare to My people their transgression, And to the house of Jacob their sins; ² Seeing—Me day by day they seek, And the knowledge of My ways they desire, As a nation that righteousness hath done, And the judgment of its God hath not forsaken, They ask of me judgments of righteousness, The drawing near of God they desire:
³ `Why have we fasted, and Thou hast not seen? We have afflicted our soul, and Thou knowest not.' Lo, in the day of your fast ye find pleasure, And all your labours ye exact. <sup>4</sup> Lo, for strife and debate ye fast, And to smite with the fist of wickedness, Ye fast not as to -day, To sound in the high place your voice. <sup>5</sup> Like this is the fast that I choose? The day of a man's afflicting his soul? To bow as a reed his head, And sackcloth and ashes spread out? This dost thou call a fast, And a desirable day—to Jehovah? <sup>6</sup> Is not this the fast that I chose—To loose the bands of wickedness, To shake off the burdens of the yoke, And to send out the oppressed free, And every yoke ye draw off? <sup>7</sup> Is it not to deal to the hungry thy bread, And the mourning poor bring home, That thou seest the naked and cover him, And from thine own flesh hide not thyself?
<sup>8</sup> Then broken up as the dawn is thy light, And thy health in haste springeth up, Gone before thee hath thy righteousness, The honour of Jehovah doth gather thee. <sup>9</sup> Then thou callest, and Jehovah answereth, Thou criest, and He saith, `Behold Me.' If thou turn aside from thy midst the yoke, The sending forth of the finger, And the speaking of vanity, ¹⁰ And dost bring out to the hungry thy soul, And the afflicted soul dost satisfy, Then risen in the darkness hath thy light, And thy thick darkness is as noon. ¹¹ And Jehovah doth lead thee continually, And hath satisfied in drought thy soul, And thy bones He armeth, And thou hast been as a watered garden, And as an outlet of waters, whose waters lie not. ¹² And they have built out of thee the wastes of old, The foundations of many generations thou raisest up, And one calleth thee, `Repairer of the breach, Restorer of paths to rest in.'
<sup>13</sup> If thou dost turn from the sabbath thy foot, Doing thine own pleasure on My holy day, And hast cried to the sabbath, `A delight,' To the holy of Jehovah, `Honoured,' And hast honoured it, without doing thine own ways, Without finding thine own pleasure, And speaking a word. ¹⁴ Then dost thou delight thyself on Jehovah, And I have caused thee to ride on high places of earth, And have caused thee to eat the inheritance of Jacob thy father, For the mouth of Jehovah hath spoken!

⁴ whom also having seized, he did put in prison, having delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to guard him, intending after the passover to bring him forth to the people.

⁴ who is marked out Son of God in power, according to the Spirit of sanctification, by the rising again from the dead,) Jesus Christ our Lord;

⁸ and God doth commend His own love to us, that, in our being still sinners, Christ did die for us;

¹⁶ for God did so love the world, that His Son—the only begotten—He gave, that every one who is believing in him may not perish, but may have life age-during.

³ Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who, according to the abundance of His kindness did beget us again to a living hope, through the rising again of Jesus Christ out of the dead,

¹ And on the first of the sabbaths, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bearing the spices they made ready, and certain others with them, ² and they found the stone having been rolled away from the tomb, ³ and having gone in, they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ And it came to pass, while they are perplexed about this, that lo, two men stood by them in glittering apparel, ⁵ and on their having become afraid, and having inclined the face to the earth, they said to them, `Why do ye seek the living with the dead? ⁶ he is not here, but was raised; remember how he spake to you, being yet in Galilee, ⁷ saying—It behoveth the Son of Man to be delivered up to the hands of sinful men, and to be crucified, and the third day to rise again.' ⁸ And they remembered his sayings, ⁹ and having turned back from the tomb told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest. ¹⁰ And it was the Magdalene Mary, and Joanna, and Mary of James, and the other women with them, who told unto the apostles these things, ¹¹ and their sayings appeared before them as idle talk, and they were not believing them. ¹² And Peter having risen, did run to the tomb, and having stooped down he seeth the linen clothes lying alone, and he went away to his own home, wondering at that which was come to pass.
