They killed him by hanging him on a cross, \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>40<\/b><\/font> but God raised him from\nthe dead on the third day and caused him to be seen. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>41<\/b><\/font> He was not seen by all the\npeople, but by witnesses whom God had already chosen\u2014by us who ate and drank\nwith him after he rose from the dead. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>42<\/b><\/font> He commanded us to preach to the\npeople and to testify that he is the one whom God appointed as judge of the living\nand the dead. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>43<\/b><\/font> All the prophets testify about him that everyone who believes in him\nreceives forgiveness of sins through his name.\u201d\n<br><br><br>\n\n\n<font color=\"red\">John 20 v 1-18 \n<br><br>\nThe Empty Tomb<\/font>\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>1<\/b><\/font> Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to\nthe tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>2<\/b><\/font> So she\ncame running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said,\n\u201cThey have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don\u2019t know where they have put\nhim!\u201d\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>3<\/b><\/font> So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>4<\/b><\/font> Both were running, but the\nother disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>5<\/b><\/font> He bent over and looked\nin at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>6<\/b><\/font> Then Simon Peter came along\nbehind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying\nthere, \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>7<\/b><\/font> as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus\u2019 head. The cloth\nwas still lying in its place, separate from the linen. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>8<\/b><\/font> Finally the other disciple, who\nhad reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>9<\/b><\/font> (They still did\n\nnot understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>10<\/b><\/font> Then the\ndisciples went back to where they were staying.\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>11<\/b><\/font> Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into\nthe tomb \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>12<\/b><\/font> and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus\u2019 body had been, one\nat the head and the other at the foot.\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>13<\/b><\/font> They asked her, \u201cWoman, why are you crying?\u201d\n\u201cThey have taken my Lord away,\u201d she said, \u201cand I don\u2019t know where they have put\nhim.\u201d \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>14<\/b><\/font> At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not\nrealize that it was Jesus.\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>15<\/b><\/font> He asked her, \u201cWoman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?\u201d\nThinking he was the gardener, she said, \u201cSir, if you have carried him away, tell me\nwhere you have put him, and I will get him.\u201d\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>16<\/b><\/font> Jesus said to her, \u201cMary.\u201d\nShe turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, \u201cRabboni!\u201d (which means\n\u201cTeacher\u201d).\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>17<\/b><\/font> Jesus said, \u201cDo not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.
