She went and reported to those who had been with Him, as they were mourning and weeping.Yet, when they heard that He was alive and had been seen by her, they did not believe it.Then after this, He appeared in a different form to two of them walking on their way into the country.And they went and reported it to the rest, who did not believe them either.Later, He appeared to the Eleven themselves as they were reclining at the table. He rebuked their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they did not believe those who saw Him after He had been resurrected.

John 20:1-21
On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb.So she ran to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them,“ They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put Him!”At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb.The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, yet he did not go in.Then, following him, Simon Peter came also. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.The wrapping that had been on His head was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a separate place by itself.The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then entered the tomb, saw, and believed.For they still did not understand the Scripture that He must rise from the dead.Then the disciples went home again.But Mary stood outside facing the tomb, crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.She saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where Jesus’ body had been lying.They said to her,“ Woman, why are you crying?”“ Because they’ve taken away my Lord,” she told them,“ and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.”Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.“ Woman,” Jesus said to her,“ why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?” Supposing He was the gardener, she replied,“ Sir, if you’ve removed Him, tell me where you’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.”Jesus said,“ Mary.” Turning around, she said to Him in Hebrew,“ Rabbouni!”— which means“ Teacher.”“ Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her,“ for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brothers and tell them that I am ascending to My Father and your Father— to My God and your God.”Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples,“ I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.In the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because of their fear of the Jews. Then Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them,“ Peace to you!”Having said this, He showed them His hands and His side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.Jesus said to them again,“ Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

Luke 24:1-53
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.They found the stone rolled away from the tomb.They went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling clothes.So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground.“ Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men.“ He is not here, but He has been resurrected! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee,saying,‘ The Son of Man must be betrayed into the hands of sinful men, be crucified, and rise on the third day’?”And they remembered His words.Returning from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the rest.Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them were telling the apostles these things.But these words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. When he stooped to look in, he saw only the linen cloths. So he went home, amazed at what had happened.Now that same day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.Together they were discussing everything that had taken place.And while they were discussing and arguing, Jesus Himself came near and began to walk along with them.But they were prevented from recognizing Him.Then He asked them,“ What is this dispute that you’re having with each other as you are walking?” And they stopped walking and looked discouraged.The one named Cleopas answered Him,“ Are You the only visitor in Jerusalem who doesn’t know the things that happened there in these days?”“ What things?” He asked them. So they said to Him,“ The things concerning Jesus the Nazarene, who was a Prophet powerful in action and speech before God and all the people,and how our chief priests and leaders handed Him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified Him.But we were hoping that He was the One who was about to redeem Israel. Besides all this, it’s the third day since these things happened.Moreover, some women from our group astounded us. They arrived early at the tomb,and when they didn’t find His body, they came and reported that they had seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said, but they didn’t see Him.”He said to them,“ How unwise and slow you are to believe in your hearts all that the prophets have spoken!Didn’t the Messiah have to suffer these things and enter into His glory?”Then beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He interpreted for them the things concerning Himself in all the Scriptures.They came near the village where they were going, and He gave the impression that He was going farther.But they urged Him:“ Stay with us, because it’s almost evening, and now the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them.It was as He reclined at the table with them that He took the bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.Then their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him, but He disappeared from their sight.So they said to each other,“ Weren’t our hearts ablaze within us while He was talking with us on the road and explaining the Scriptures to us?”That very hour they got up and returned to Jerusalem. They found the Eleven and those with them gathered together,who said,“ The Lord has certainly been raised, and has appeared to Simon!”Then they began to describe what had happened on the road and how He was made known to them in the breaking of the bread.And as they were saying these things, He Himself stood among them. He said to them,“ Peace to you!”But they were startled and terrified and thought they were seeing a ghost.“ Why are you troubled?” He asked them.“ And why do doubts arise in your hearts?Look at My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself! Touch Me and see, because a ghost does not have flesh and bones as you can see I have.”Having said this, He showed them His hands and feet.But while they still were amazed and unbelieving because of their joy, He asked them,“ Do you have anything here to eat?”So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish,and He took it and ate in their presence.Then He told them,“ These are My words that I spoke to you while I was still with you— that everything written about Me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms must be fulfilled.”Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.He also said to them,“ This is what is written: The Messiah would suffer and rise from the dead the third day,and repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning at Jerusalem.You are witnesses of these things.And look, I am sending you what My Father promised. As for you, stay in the city until you are empowered from on high.”Then He led them out as far as Bethany, and lifting up His hands He blessed them.And while He was blessing them, He left them and was carried up into heaven.After worshiping Him, they returned to Jerusalem with great joy.And they were continually in the temple complex praising God.

“ In the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, and this kingdom will not be left to another people. It will crush all these kingdoms and bring them to an end, but will itself endure forever.You saw a stone break off from the mountain without a hand touching it, and it crushed the iron, bronze, fired clay, silver, and gold. The great God has told the king what will happen in the future. The dream is true, and its interpretation certain.”
