Peter Addresses the Crowd
Let all the house of Israel therefore know assuredly that God has made him
both Lord and Christ, this Jesus whom you crucified." Now when they heard
this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and the rest of the
apostles, "Brethren, what shall we do?" And Peter said to them, "Repent, and
be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness
of your sins; and you shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the
promise is to you and to your children and to all that are far off, every
one whom the Lord our God calls to him." And he testified with many other
words and exhorted them, saying, "Save yourselves from this crooked
generation." So those who received his word were baptized, and there were
added that day about three thousand souls.
Acts 2:36-41
 Jesus
Appears to Mary Magdalene
But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she
stooped to look into the tomb; and she saw two angels in white, sitting
where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. They
said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they
have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him." Saying
this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it
was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you
seek?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have
carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him
away." Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Hebrew, "Rab-bo'ni!"
(which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, "Do not hold me, for I have not
yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am
ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." Mary
Mag'dalene went and said to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"; and she
told them that he had said these things to her.
John 20:11-18
