After three days, there was a great earthquake. In fright, the Roman soldiers trembled and then ran away.
When followers of Jesus came to the tomb and saw the stone moved, they were confused.
Suddenly, two men stood by them in shinning garments saying, “ Why are you looking for the living among the dead? He is not here, He is risen. “
The same day, in the evening Jesus came to the disciples, stood among them and said, “Peace unto you.”
The disciples were frightened, thinking that they were seeing a spirit. Jesus said to them, “Look at my hands and feet. It is really me! Touch me! A spirit does not have flesh and bones as I have.”
Jesus continued appearing to many people. He instructed his disciples, “ Go into all the world and preach the gospel unto every living creature. Starting here and even unto the end of the world.”
At the end of forty days Jesus announced to his disciples, “You shall receive power after the holy spirit comes upon you, and you shall tell others about me, in Jerusalem, and to the uttermost parts of the world.”
As they watched, Jesus was taken up, and a cloud took him out of their sight
