2:1 In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that all the world should be enrolled. 2:2This was the first enrollment, when Quirin'i-us was governor of Syria. 2:3 And all went to be enrolled, each to his own city. 2:4 And Joseph also went up from Galilee, from the city of Nazareth, to Judea, to the city of David, which is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and lineage of David, 2:5 to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. 2:6 And while they were there, the time came for her to be delivered. 2:7 And she gave birth to her first-born son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn. 2:8 And in that region there were shepherds out in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night. 2:9 And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with fear. 2:10 And the angel said to them, "Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of a great joy which will come to all the people; 2:11 for to you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 2:12 And this will be a sign for you: you will find a babe wrapped in swaddling cloths and lying in a manger." 2:13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying, 2:14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among men with whom he is pleased!" 2:15 When the angels went away from them into heaven, the shepherds said to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has made known to us." 2:16 And they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the babe lying in a manger. 2:17 And when they saw it they made known the saying which had been told them concerning this child; 2:18 and all who heard it wondered at what the shepherds told them. 2:19 But Mary kept all these things, pondering them in her heart.

24:1 But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. 24:2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 24:3 but when they went in they did not find the body. 24:4 While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel; 24:5 and as they were frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living among the dead? 24:6 Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 24:7 that the Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise." 24:8 And they remembered his words, 24:9 and returning from the tomb they told all this to the eleven and to all the rest. 24:10 Now it was Mary Mag'dalene and Jo-an'na and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told this to the apostles; 24:11 but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and they did not believe them. 24:12

20:11 But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb; 20:12 and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 20:13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. 20:14 When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 20:15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. 20:16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher. 20:17 Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. 20:18 Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and `that' he had said these things unto her.
