Conclusion of Jesus Is Resurrected

When Mary returned to the tomb, she saw two angels inside and said to them: 'I don't know where they have taken my Lord.'  Then she saw a man, and thinking that he was the gardener, she said:  'Sir, please tell me where you taken him.'  But when the man said, Mary!' She knew that he was Jesus.  She cried out:  "Teacher!" And held onto him.  Jesus told her:  'Go and tell my brothers that you have seen me.' Right away, Mary ran to the disciples and told them that she had seen Jesus.

Later in the day, two disciples were walking from Jerusalem to Emmaus.  A man joined them on the road and asked what they were talking about.  They said:  'Haven't you heard? Three days ago, the chief priests put Jesus to death. Now some women are saying that he is alive!'  The man asked:  'Don't you believe the prophets? They said that the Christ would die and then be raised up.' He continue to explain the Scriptures to them.    When they reached Emmaus, the disciples asked the man to come with them. At supper after he prayed over the bread, they realized that he was Jesus.  Then he disappeared.

The two disciples hurried to the house in Jerusalem where the apostles were gathered and told them what had happened.  While they were inside there, inside the house,Jesus appeared to all of them. At first, the apostles couldn't believe that it was Jesus. Then he said:  'Look at my hands; touch me. It was written that the Christ would rise from the dead.'
