- Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed— for until then they still hadn’t understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead.
- “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus said, “for I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
- Again he said, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”
- Then Jesus told him, “You believe because you have seen me. Blessed are those who believe without seeing me.”
And don’t let us yield to temptation,
but rescue us from the evil one.
