The Resurrection of Jesus Christ/ Mark's Gospel

The Gospel of Mark Chapter 16 

1 And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him.

 2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.

 3 And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre?

 4 And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great.

 5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted.

 6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

Mt 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

Mt 28:6 He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

 7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

 8 And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.

 9 Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

 10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.

 11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

 12 After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

 13 And they went and told it unto the residue: neither believed they them.

 14 Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen. {at meat: or, together}

 15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.

 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;

 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

 19 So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.

 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

Jesus Taught His Disciples About His Death

The Record of Matthew, Mark, Luke  gives us an account of Jesus preparing his disciples for his death

Mark 10:33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles:

Mark 10:34 And they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again.

The Crucifixion of Jesus the Christ

 Luke Chapter 23

1 And the whole multitude of them arose, and led him unto Pilate.

 2 And they began to accuse him, saying, We found this fellow perverting the nation, and forbidding to give tribute to Caesar, saying that he himself is Christ a King.

 3 And Pilate asked him, saying, Art thou the King of the Jews? And he answered him and said, Thou sayest it.

 4 Then said Pilate to the chief priests and to the people, I find no fault in this man.

 5 And they were the more fierce, saying, He stirreth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, beginning from Galilee to this place.

 6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he asked whether the man were a Galilaean.

 7 And as soon as he knew that he belonged unto Herod's jurisdiction, he sent him to Herod, who himself also was at Jerusalem at that time.

 8 And when Herod saw Jesus, he was exceeding glad: for he was desirous to see him of a long season, because he had heard many things of him; and he hoped to have seen some miracle done by him.

 9 Then he questioned with him in many words; but he answered him nothing.

 10 And the chief priests and scribes stood and vehemently accused him.

 11 And Herod with his men of war set him at nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gorgeous robe, and sent him again to Pilate.

 12 And the same day Pilate and Herod were made friends together: for before they were at enmity between themselves.

 13 And Pilate, when he had called together the chief priests and the rulers and the people,

 14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man unto me, as one that perverteth the people: and, behold, I, having examined him before you, have found no fault in this man touching those things whereof ye accuse him:

 15 No, nor yet Herod: for I sent you to him; and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him.

 16 I will therefore chastise him, and release him.

 17 (For of necessity he must release one unto them at the feast.)

 18 And they cried out all at once, saying, Away with this man, and release unto us Barabbas:

 19 (Who for a certain sedition made in the city, and for murder, was cast into prison.)

 20 Pilate therefore, willing to release Jesus, spake again to them.

 21 But they cried, saying, Crucify him, crucify him.

 22 And he said unto them the third time, Why, what evil hath he done? I have found no cause of death in him: I will therefore chastise him, and let him go.

 23 And they were instant with loud voices, requiring that he might be crucified. And the voices of them and of the chief priests prevailed.

 24 And Pilate gave sentence that it should be as they required. 

 25 And he released unto them him that for sedition and murder was cast into prison, whom they had desired; but he delivered Jesus to their will.

 26 And as they led him away, they laid hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the country, and on him they laid the cross, that he might bear it after Jesus.

 27 And there followed him a great company of people, and of women, which also bewailed and lamented him.

 28 But Jesus turning unto them said, Daughters of Jerusalem, weep not for me, but weep for yourselves, and for your children.

 29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which they shall say, Blessed are the barren, and the wombs that never bare, and the paps which never gave suck.

 30 Then shall they begin to say to the mountains, Fall on us; and to the hills, Cover us.

 31 For if they do these things in a green tree, what shall be done in the dry?

 32 And there were also two other, malefactors, led with him to be put to death.

 33 And when they were come to the place, which is called Calvary, there they crucified him, and the malefactors, one on the right hand, and the other on the left. {Calvary: or, The place of a skull}

 34 Then said Jesus, Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do. And they parted his raiment, and cast lots.

 35 And the people stood beholding. And the rulers also with them derided him, saying, He saved others; let him save himself, if he be Christ, the chosen of God.

 36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming to him, and offering him vinegar,

 37 And saying, If thou be the king of the Jews, save thyself.

 38 And a superscription also was written over him in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

 39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.

 40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?

 41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.

 42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.

 43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

 44 And it was about the sixth hour, and there was a darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour. {earth: or, land}

 45 And the sun was darkened, and the veil of the temple was rent in the midst.

 46 And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost.

 47 Now when the centurion saw what was done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly this was a righteous man.

 48 And all the people that came together to that sight, beholding the things which were done, smote their breasts, and returned.

 49 And all his acquaintance, and the women that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, beholding these things.

 50 And, behold, there was a man named Joseph, a counsellor; and he was a good man, and a just:

 51 (The same had not consented to the counsel and deed of them;) he was of Arimathaea, a city of the Jews: who also himself waited for the kingdom of God.

 52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus.

 53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

 54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.

 55 And the women also, which came with him from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid.

 56 And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment.

Hell, Death and the Pit

 2 Samuel 22

The Hebrew word is Shoel and is translated three ways in the King James Bible in the book of 2 Samuel chapter 22,  Hell, Death and the Pit. 

2Sa 22:1 And David spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:

 2 And he said, The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

 3 The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

 4 I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

 5 When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid; {waves: or, pangs} {ungodly...: Heb. Belial}

 6 The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me; {sorrows: or, cords}

Ps 116:3 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the pains of hell gat hold upon me: I found trouble and sorrow.

Ps 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower

Ps 18:3 I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

Ps 18:4 The sorrows of death compassed me, and the floods of ungodly men made me afraid.

Ps 18:5 The sorrows of hell compassed me about: the snares of death prevented me.

Ps 18:6 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried unto my God: he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came before him, even into his ears.

Ps 18:7 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations also of the hills moved and were shaken, because he was wroth.

Ps 18:8 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it

Ps 18:9 He bowed the heavens also, and came down: and darkness was under his feet.

Ps 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

Luke 16:22 And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried;

Luke 16:23  And in hell he lift up his eyes, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom.

Luke 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame.

Luke 16:25 But Abraham said, Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things: but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented.

Luke 16:26 And beside all this, between us and you there is a great gulf fixed: so that they which would pass from hence to you cannot; neither can they pass to us, that would come from thence.

 7 In my distress I called upon the LORD, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

 8 Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

 9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it. {out of his nostrils: Heb. by, etc}

 10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

 11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

Ps 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

Ps 104:3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

 12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies. 

 13 Through the brightness before him were coals of fire kindled.

 14 The LORD thundered from heaven, and the most High uttered his voice.

 15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them; lightning, and discomfited them.

 16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the foundations of the world were discovered, at the rebuking of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.

 17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew me out of many waters; 

 18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, and from them that hated me: for they were too strong for me.

 19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

 20 He brought me forth also into a large place: he delivered me, because he delighted in me.

 21 The LORD rewarded me according to my righteousness: according to the cleanness of my hands hath he recompensed me.

 22 For I have kept the ways of the LORD, and have not wickedly departed from my God.

 23 For all his judgments were before me: and as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.

 24 I was also upright before him, and have kept myself from mine iniquity. 

 25 Therefore the LORD hath recompensed me according to my righteousness; according to my cleanness in his eye sight. 

 26 With the merciful thou wilt shew thyself merciful, and with the upright man thou wilt shew thyself upright.

 27 With the pure thou wilt shew thyself pure; and with the froward thou wilt shew thyself unsavoury. 

 28 And the afflicted people thou wilt save: but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayest bring them down.

 29 For thou art my lamp, O LORD: and the LORD will lighten my darkness. 

 30 For by thee I have run through a troop: by my God have I leaped over a wall. 

 31 As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all them that trust in him. 

 32 For who is God, save the LORD? and who is a rock, save our God?

 33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect. 

 34 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet: and setteth me upon my high places. 

 35 He teacheth my hands to war; so that a bow of steel is broken by mine arms. 

 36 Thou hast also given me the shield of thy salvation: and thy gentleness hath made me great. 

 37 Thou hast enlarged my steps under me; so that my feet did not slip. 

 38 I have pursued mine enemies, and destroyed them; and turned not again until I had consumed them.

 39 And I have consumed them, and wounded them, that they could not arise: yea, they are fallen under my feet.

 40 For thou hast girded me with strength to battle: them that rose up against me hast thou subdued under me. 

 41 Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies, that I might destroy them that hate me.

 42 They looked, but there was none to save; even unto the LORD, but he answered them not.

 43 Then did I beat them as small as the dust of the earth, I did stamp them as the mire of the street, and did spread them abroad.

 44 Thou also hast delivered me from the strivings of my people, thou hast kept me to be head of the heathen: a people which I knew not shall serve me.

 45 Strangers shall submit themselves unto me: as soon as they hear, they shall be obedient unto me. 

 46 Strangers shall fade away, and they shall be afraid out of their close places.

 47 The LORD liveth; and blessed be my rock; and exalted be the God of the rock of my salvation.

 48 It is God that avengeth me, and that bringeth down the people under me, 

 49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man.

 50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O LORD, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name.

 51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

 (KJV)

The Armor of God

Ephesians Chapter Six;

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 

 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 

 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak. 

 21 But that ye also may know my affairs, and how I do, Tychicus, a beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord, shall make known to you all things:

 22 Whom I have sent unto you for the same purpose, that ye might know our affairs, and that he might comfort your hearts.

 23 Peace be to the brethren, and love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

 24 Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in sincerity. Amen. <<To the Ephesians written from Rome, by Tychicus.>>
