Jesus

There were many women there, looking on from a distance; they had followed Yeshua from the Galil, helping him.

Towards evening, there came a wealthy man from Ramatayim named Yosef, who was himself a talmid of Yeshua.

He approached Pilate and asked for Yeshua's body, and Pilate ordered it to be given to him.

and said, "Sir, we remember that that deceiver said while he was still alive, `After three days I will be raised.'

Therefore, order that the grave be made secure till the third day; otherwise the talmidim may come, steal him away and say to the people, `He was raised from the dead'; and the last deception will be worse than the first."

Suddenly there was a violent earthquake, for an angel of ADONAI came down from heaven, rolled away the stone and sat on it.

But the angel said to the women, "Don't be afraid. I know you are looking for Yeshua, who was executed on the stake.

He is not here, because he has been raised -- just as he said! Come and look at the place where he lay.

Then go quickly and tell the talmidim, `He has been raised from the dead, and now he is going to the Galil ahead of you. You will see him there.' Now I have told you."

So they left the tomb quickly, frightened yet filled with joy; and they ran to give the news to his talmidim.

Suddenly Yeshua met them and said, "Shalom!" They came up and took hold of his feet as they fell down in front of him.

Then Yeshua said to them, "Don't be afraid! Go and tell my brothers to go to the Galil, and they will see me there."

and said to them, "Tell people, `His talmidim came during the night and stole his body while we were sleeping.'

So the eleven talmidim went to the hill in the Galil where Yeshua had told them to go.

When they saw him, they prostrated themselves before him; but some hesitated.

Yeshua came and talked with them. He said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.

Therefore, go and make people from all nations into talmidim, immersing them into the reality of the Father, the Son and the Ruach HaKodesh,

and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember! I will be with you always, yes, even until the end of the age."

The beginning of the Good News of Yeshua the Messiah, the Son of God:

It is written in the prophet Yesha`yahu, "See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you; he will prepare the way before you."

"The voice of someone crying out: `In the desert prepare the way for ADONAI! Make straight paths for him!'"

He proclaimed: "After me is coming someone who is more powerful than I -- I'm not worthy even to bend down and untie his sandals.

I have immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in the Ruach HaKodesh."

Shortly thereafter, Yeshua came from Natzeret in the Galil and was immersed in the Yarden by Yochanan.

Immediately upon coming up out of the water, he saw heaven torn open and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;
