Henry: Welcome To Immerse: The
Daily Bible Reading Experience.

00:00:02.988 --> 00:00:03.848
Day 46.

00:00:04.433 --> 00:00:08.753
it was now two days before Passover
and the festival of Unleavened Bread.

00:00:09.773 --> 00:00:13.493
The leading priests and the teachers
of religious law were still looking

00:00:13.493 --> 00:00:18.803
for an opportunity to capture Jesus
secretly and kill him, but not

00:00:18.803 --> 00:00:20.423
during the Passover celebration.

00:00:20.603 --> 00:00:22.823
They agreed, or the people may riot.

00:00:24.278 --> 00:00:29.528
Meanwhile, Jesus was in Bethany at the
home of Simon, a man who had previously

00:00:29.528 --> 00:00:32.048
had leprosy while he was eating.

00:00:32.408 --> 00:00:36.308
A woman came in with a beautiful
alabaster jar of expensive

00:00:36.308 --> 00:00:39.098
perfume made from essence of Nard.

00:00:39.408 --> 00:00:43.418
She broke open the jar and
poured the perfume over his head.

00:00:44.558 --> 00:00:46.628
Some of those at the table were indignant.

00:00:47.258 --> 00:00:49.298
Why waste such expensive perfume?

00:00:49.508 --> 00:00:50.108
They asked.

00:00:50.378 --> 00:00:53.858
It could have been sold for a year's
wages and the money given to the

00:00:53.858 --> 00:00:56.858
poor, so they scolded her harshly.

00:00:57.968 --> 00:01:00.428
But Jesus replied, leave her alone.

00:01:01.298 --> 00:01:04.118
Why criticize her for doing
such a good thing to me?

00:01:05.258 --> 00:01:09.218
You'll always have the poor among you
and you can help them whenever you want

00:01:09.218 --> 00:01:12.068
to, but you will not always have me.

00:01:12.878 --> 00:01:14.378
She has done what she could.

00:01:14.813 --> 00:01:18.023
And has anointed my body
for burial ahead of time.

00:01:19.043 --> 00:01:20.063
I tell you the truth.

00:01:20.513 --> 00:01:24.983
Wherever the good news is preached
throughout the world, this woman's

00:01:24.983 --> 00:01:27.323
deed will be remembered and discussed.

00:01:29.033 --> 00:01:33.893
Then Judas Iscariot, one of the 12
disciples, went to the leading priests

00:01:34.013 --> 00:01:36.083
to arrange to betray Jesus to them.

00:01:36.953 --> 00:01:39.983
They were delighted when they
heard why he had come and they

00:01:39.983 --> 00:01:41.363
promised to give him money.

00:01:42.173 --> 00:01:48.788
So, He began looking for an opportunity
to betray Jesus on the first day of

00:01:48.788 --> 00:01:50.468
the festival of unleavened bread.

00:01:50.828 --> 00:01:54.518
When the Passover lamb is
sacrificed, Jesus disciples asked

00:01:54.523 --> 00:01:58.148
him, where do you want us to go to
prepare the Passover meal for you?

00:01:59.288 --> 00:02:01.418
So Jesus sent two of them into Jerusalem.

00:02:01.478 --> 00:02:06.188
With these instructions, as you
go into the city, a man carrying

00:02:06.188 --> 00:02:08.018
a picture of water will meet you.

00:02:08.828 --> 00:02:09.398
Follow him.

00:02:10.238 --> 00:02:15.038
At the house he enters, say to the
owner, the teacher asks, where is

00:02:15.038 --> 00:02:18.728
the guest room where I can eat the
Passover meal with my disciples?

00:02:19.238 --> 00:02:23.168
He will take you upstairs to a
large room that is already set up.

00:02:24.098 --> 00:02:25.928
That is where you should prepare our meal.

00:02:27.158 --> 00:02:30.788
So that two disciples went into
the city and found everything

00:02:30.938 --> 00:02:35.738
just as Jesus had said, and they
prepared the Passover meal there.

00:02:37.283 --> 00:02:42.263
In the evening, Jesus arrived with the
12 As they were at the table eating.

00:02:42.413 --> 00:02:47.063
Jesus said, I tell you the truth,
one of you eating with me here

00:02:47.213 --> 00:02:50.423
will betray me greatly distressed.

00:02:50.423 --> 00:02:54.443
Each one asked, in turn,
am I the one he replied.

00:02:54.953 --> 00:02:58.463
It is one of you 12 who is
eating from this bowl with me.

00:02:59.603 --> 00:03:03.623
For the son of man must die as
the scriptures declared long ago.

00:03:05.063 --> 00:03:07.523
How terrible it will be for
the one who betrays him.

00:03:08.243 --> 00:03:11.753
It would be far better for that
man if he had never been born.

00:03:13.463 --> 00:03:16.793
As they were eating, Jesus
took some bread and blessed it.

00:03:17.483 --> 00:03:23.063
Then he broke it in pieces and gave it
to the disciples saying, take it for,

00:03:23.063 --> 00:03:28.493
this is my body, and he took a cup of
wine and gave thanks to God for it.

00:03:29.033 --> 00:03:31.193
He gave it to them and
they all drank from it.

00:03:31.703 --> 00:03:36.353
And he said to them, this is my
blood, which confirms the covenant

00:03:36.353 --> 00:03:37.853
between God and his people.

00:03:38.603 --> 00:03:41.123
It is poured out as a sacrifice for many.

00:03:42.173 --> 00:03:43.163
I tell you the truth.

00:03:43.793 --> 00:03:49.553
I will not drink wine again until the
day I drink it new in the Kingdom of God.

00:03:51.233 --> 00:03:57.593
Then they sang a hymn and went out to
the Mount of Olives on the way Jesus

00:03:57.593 --> 00:04:00.323
told them, all of you will desert me.

00:04:00.818 --> 00:04:05.558
For the scriptures say God will strike the
shepherd and the sheep will be scattered.

00:04:06.548 --> 00:04:09.458
But after I am raised from the
dead, I will go ahead of you

00:04:09.463 --> 00:04:11.318
to Galilee and meet you there.

00:04:12.248 --> 00:04:16.388
Peter said to him, even if everyone
else deserts you, I never will.

00:04:16.388 --> 00:04:21.488
I Jesus replied, I tell you the
truth, Peter, this very night

00:04:21.848 --> 00:04:23.858
before the rooster crows twice.

00:04:24.068 --> 00:04:27.068
You will deny three times
that you even know me.

00:04:28.013 --> 00:04:32.243
No, Peter declared emphatically,
even if I have to die with

00:04:32.243 --> 00:04:33.923
you, I will never deny you.

00:04:34.763 --> 00:04:36.593
And all the others vowed the same.

00:04:38.033 --> 00:04:41.633
They went to the Olive Grove
called Gethsemane, and Jesus said,

00:04:42.203 --> 00:04:44.093
sit here while I go and pray.

00:04:45.023 --> 00:04:48.533
He took Peter, James, and
John with him, and he became

00:04:48.533 --> 00:04:50.663
deeply troubled and distressed.

00:04:51.323 --> 00:04:56.063
He told them, my soul is crushed
with grief to the point of death.

00:04:57.083 --> 00:04:59.333
Stay here and keep watch with me.

00:05:00.953 --> 00:05:04.163
He went on a little farther
and fell to the ground.

00:05:04.823 --> 00:05:08.753
He prayed that if it were
possible, the awful hour

00:05:08.753 --> 00:05:10.703
awaiting him, might pass him by.

00:05:11.963 --> 00:05:12.473
Abba.

00:05:12.533 --> 00:05:13.853
Father, he cried out.

00:05:13.853 --> 00:05:16.253
He everything is possible for you.

00:05:17.213 --> 00:05:22.373
Please take this cup of suffering
away from me, yet I want your

00:05:22.373 --> 00:05:24.503
will to be done, not mine.

00:05:26.183 --> 00:05:29.123
Then he returned and found
the disciples asleep.

00:05:30.113 --> 00:05:32.873
He said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep?

00:05:33.623 --> 00:05:35.753
Couldn't you watch with me even one hour?

00:05:36.473 --> 00:05:40.583
Keep watch and pray so that you
will not give into temptation.

00:05:41.543 --> 00:05:44.783
For the spirit is willing,
but the body is weak.

00:05:46.073 --> 00:05:49.793
Then Jesus left them again and
prayed the same prayer as before.

00:05:50.633 --> 00:05:53.273
When he returned to them
again, he found them sleeping.

00:05:53.858 --> 00:05:57.698
For, they couldn't keep their eyes
open and they didn't know what to say.

00:05:59.048 --> 00:06:03.158
When he returned to them the
third time, he said, go ahead

00:06:03.163 --> 00:06:05.468
and sleep, have your rest.

00:06:06.098 --> 00:06:07.898
But no, the time has come.

00:06:08.438 --> 00:06:11.578
The son of man is betrayed
into the hands of sinners up.

00:06:12.698 --> 00:06:15.848
Let's be going, look, my betrayer is here.

00:06:17.318 --> 00:06:20.978
And immediately, even as
Jesus said this, Judas.

00:06:21.353 --> 00:06:26.573
One of the 12 disciples arrived with a
crowd of men armed with swords and clubs.

00:06:27.473 --> 00:06:30.053
They had been sent by the
leading priests, the teachers

00:06:30.053 --> 00:06:32.033
of religious law and the elders.

00:06:32.993 --> 00:06:33.713
The traitor.

00:06:33.863 --> 00:06:36.983
Judas had given them a prearranged signal.

00:06:37.823 --> 00:06:40.973
You will know which one to arrest
when I greet him with a kiss.

00:06:41.603 --> 00:06:43.433
Then you can take him away under guard.

00:06:44.933 --> 00:06:47.933
As soon as they arrived,
Judas walked up to Jesus.

00:06:48.743 --> 00:06:50.513
Rabbi He exclaimed.

00:06:51.248 --> 00:06:52.358
And gave him the kiss.

00:06:53.168 --> 00:06:55.838
Then the others grabbed
Jesus and arrested him.

00:06:56.288 --> 00:07:00.248
But one of the men with Jesus pulled
out his sword and struck the high

00:07:00.248 --> 00:07:02.918
priest's slave slashing off his ear.

00:07:03.908 --> 00:07:08.588
Jesus asked them, am I some dangerous
revolutionary that you come with

00:07:08.593 --> 00:07:10.418
swords and clubs to arrest me?

00:07:11.078 --> 00:07:12.788
Why didn't you arrest me in the temple?

00:07:13.418 --> 00:07:18.158
I was there among you teaching every
day, but these things are happening to

00:07:18.158 --> 00:07:20.408
fulfill what the scriptures say about me.

00:07:21.668 --> 00:07:26.318
Then all his disciples
deserted him and ran away.

00:07:27.338 --> 00:07:32.228
One young man following behind was
clothed only in a long linen shirt.

00:07:32.678 --> 00:07:37.688
When the mob tried to grab him, he slipped
out of his shirt and ran away naked.

00:07:39.128 --> 00:07:42.548
They took Jesus to the high priest's
home where the leading priests,

00:07:42.608 --> 00:07:45.698
the elders, and the teachers
of religious law had gathered.

00:07:46.943 --> 00:07:51.113
Meanwhile, Peter followed him at
a distance and went right into

00:07:51.113 --> 00:07:52.583
the high priest's courtyard.

00:07:53.453 --> 00:07:58.313
There he sat with the guards
warming himself by the fire inside.

00:07:58.673 --> 00:08:02.783
The leading priests and the entire high
counsel were trying to find evidence

00:08:02.783 --> 00:08:07.373
against Jesus so they could put him
to death, but they couldn't find any.

00:08:08.303 --> 00:08:12.503
Many false witnesses spoke against
him, but they contradicted each other.

00:08:13.508 --> 00:08:17.738
Finally, some men stood up
and gave this false testimony.

00:08:18.728 --> 00:08:22.778
We heard him say, I will destroy
this temple made with human hands,

00:08:22.958 --> 00:08:26.498
and in three days I will build
another made without human hands.

00:08:27.698 --> 00:08:30.008
But even then, they didn't
get their stories straight.

00:08:31.268 --> 00:08:36.758
Then the high priest stood up before
the others and ask Jesus, well, aren't

00:08:36.758 --> 00:08:38.378
you going to answer these charges?

00:08:39.008 --> 00:08:40.478
What do you have to say for yourself?

00:08:41.363 --> 00:08:43.943
But Jesus was silent and made no reply.

00:08:44.783 --> 00:08:48.413
Then the high priest asked
him, are you the Messiah?

00:08:48.833 --> 00:08:50.483
The Son of the blessed one?

00:08:52.043 --> 00:08:58.313
Jesus said, I am and you will see
the son of man seated in the place

00:08:58.313 --> 00:09:02.513
of power at God's right hand and
coming on the clouds of heaven.

00:09:04.193 --> 00:09:08.213
Then the high priest tore his
clothing to show his horror and

00:09:08.213 --> 00:09:10.793
said, why do we need other witnesses?

00:09:11.063 --> 00:09:12.713
You have all heard his blasphemy.

00:09:12.953 --> 00:09:14.033
What is your verdict?

00:09:15.383 --> 00:09:16.013
Guilty.

00:09:16.133 --> 00:09:17.063
They all cried.

00:09:17.273 --> 00:09:18.833
He deserves to die.

00:09:20.513 --> 00:09:25.373
Then some of them began to spit at
him and they blindfolded him and beat

00:09:25.373 --> 00:09:28.463
him with their fists prophesied to us.

00:09:28.463 --> 00:09:29.213
They jered.

00:09:30.263 --> 00:09:32.903
And the guard slapped him
as they took him away.

00:09:34.853 --> 00:09:37.433
Meanwhile, Peter was
in the courtyard below.

00:09:37.973 --> 00:09:42.263
One of the servant girls who worked
for the high priest came by and noticed

00:09:42.263 --> 00:09:44.093
Peter warming himself at the fire.

00:09:44.963 --> 00:09:49.523
She looked at him closely and said,
you were one of those with Jesus

00:09:49.523 --> 00:09:52.313
of Nazareth, but Peter denied it.

00:09:53.003 --> 00:09:54.473
I don't know what you're talking about.

00:09:54.563 --> 00:09:57.053
He said, and he went
out into the entryway.

00:09:58.418 --> 00:10:00.368
Just then a rooster crowed.

00:10:01.598 --> 00:10:05.228
When the servant girl saw him standing
there, she began telling the others.

00:10:05.708 --> 00:10:10.148
This man is definitely one of
them, but Peter denied it again.

00:10:11.348 --> 00:10:12.128
A little later.

00:10:12.128 --> 00:10:16.598
Some of the other bystanders confronted
Peter and said, you must be one of

00:10:16.598 --> 00:10:18.578
them because you are a Galilean.

00:10:19.718 --> 00:10:23.018
Peter swore a curse on me if I'm lying.

00:10:23.138 --> 00:10:25.148
I don't know this man
you're talking about.

00:10:26.438 --> 00:10:28.958
And immediately the rooster crowed.

00:10:29.018 --> 00:10:34.448
The second time, suddenly Jesus'
words flashed through Peter's mind.

00:10:34.988 --> 00:10:36.848
Before the rooster crows twice.

00:10:37.148 --> 00:10:39.638
You will deny three times
that you even know me.

00:10:40.748 --> 00:10:46.388
And he broke down and wept
very early in the morning.

00:10:46.598 --> 00:10:51.398
The leading priests, the elders and the
teachers of religious law, the entire high

00:10:51.398 --> 00:10:54.158
council met to discuss their next step.

00:10:54.998 --> 00:10:55.628
They bound.

00:10:55.633 --> 00:10:58.658
Jesus led him away and took him to Pilate.

00:10:58.868 --> 00:11:04.088
The Roman governor Pilate asked
Jesus, are you the king of the Jews?

00:11:04.928 --> 00:11:07.448
Jesus replied, you have said it.

00:11:08.918 --> 00:11:13.508
Then the leading priests kept accusing
him of many crimes, and Pilate asked

00:11:13.508 --> 00:11:15.698
him, aren't you going to answer them?

00:11:16.358 --> 00:11:18.818
What about all these charges
they're bringing against you?

00:11:19.808 --> 00:11:22.388
But Jesus said nothing much to Pilate's.

00:11:22.393 --> 00:11:22.988
Surprise.

00:11:24.068 --> 00:11:25.568
Now it was the Governor's custom.

00:11:25.568 --> 00:11:30.548
Each year during the Passover celebration
to release one prisoner, anyone that

00:11:30.548 --> 00:11:36.398
people requested, one of the prisoners
at that time was VEBAs, a revolutionary

00:11:36.458 --> 00:11:38.558
who had committed murder in an uprising.

00:11:39.428 --> 00:11:43.568
The crowd went to Pilate and asked
him to release a prisoner as usual.

00:11:44.708 --> 00:11:47.738
Would you like me to release
to you this King of the Jews?

00:11:48.128 --> 00:11:48.968
Pilate asked.

00:11:49.778 --> 00:11:54.608
For, he realized by now that the leading
priests had arrested Jesus out of envy.

00:11:55.778 --> 00:11:59.768
But at this point, the leading
priests stirred up the crowd to

00:11:59.768 --> 00:12:01.478
demand the release of Barabbas.

00:12:01.568 --> 00:12:02.588
Instead of Jesus.

00:12:03.668 --> 00:12:06.758
PIL asked them, then what
should I do with this man?

00:12:06.758 --> 00:12:08.288
You call the king of the Jews.

00:12:09.428 --> 00:12:12.368
They shouted back, crucify him.

00:12:13.898 --> 00:12:17.138
Why Pilate demanded, what
crime has he committed?

00:12:18.038 --> 00:12:19.928
But the mob roared even louder.

00:12:20.138 --> 00:12:21.218
Crucify him.

00:12:22.658 --> 00:12:27.128
So to pacify the crowd, Pilate
released Barabbas to them.

00:12:27.578 --> 00:12:32.558
He ordered Jesus flogged with a lead
tipped whip, then turned him over to

00:12:32.558 --> 00:12:35.198
the Roman soldiers to be crucified.

00:12:35.558 --> 00:12:39.788
The soldiers took Jesus into
the courtyard of the governor's

00:12:39.788 --> 00:12:44.318
headquarters, called the Pretor,
and called out the entire regiment.

00:12:45.053 --> 00:12:49.043
They dressed him in a purple robe
and they wove thorn branches into

00:12:49.043 --> 00:12:51.113
a crown and put it on his head.

00:12:51.803 --> 00:12:57.713
Then they saluted him and taunted hail
king of the Jews, and they struck him on

00:12:57.713 --> 00:13:02.873
the head with a reed stick spit on him and
dropped to their knees in mock worship.

00:13:03.613 --> 00:13:07.463
When they were finally tired of mocking
him, they took off the purple robe

00:13:07.673 --> 00:13:09.413
and put his own clothes on him again.

00:13:10.253 --> 00:13:12.383
Then they led him away to be crucified.

00:13:13.718 --> 00:13:17.648
A passerby named Simon, who was
from Sini, was coming in from the

00:13:17.648 --> 00:13:22.448
countryside just then, and the soldiers
forced him to carry Jesus cross.

00:13:23.228 --> 00:13:27.218
Simon was the father of Alexander
and Rufuss, and they brought

00:13:27.218 --> 00:13:31.448
Jesus to a place called Go Gatha,
which means place of the skull.

00:13:32.258 --> 00:13:36.278
They offered him wine drugged
with myrrh, but he refused it.

00:13:37.538 --> 00:13:40.478
Then the soldiers nailed him to the cross.

00:13:41.213 --> 00:13:45.503
They divided his clothes and threw dice
to decide who would get each piece.

00:13:46.463 --> 00:13:48.863
It was nine o'clock in the
morning when they crucified him.

00:13:49.763 --> 00:13:52.073
A sign announced the charge against him.

00:13:52.283 --> 00:13:54.773
It read the King of the Jews.

00:13:56.183 --> 00:13:58.433
Two revolutionaries
were crucified with him.

00:13:58.583 --> 00:14:00.533
One on his right and one on his left.

00:14:01.433 --> 00:14:05.843
The people passing by shouted, abuse,
shaking their heads in mockery.

00:14:06.383 --> 00:14:08.333
Ha, look at you now.

00:14:08.483 --> 00:14:09.233
They yelled at him.

00:14:09.863 --> 00:14:13.583
You said you were going to destroy the
temple and rebuild it in three days.

00:14:13.973 --> 00:14:17.573
Well then save yourself and
come down from the cross.

00:14:18.653 --> 00:14:22.763
The leading priest sent teachers
of religious law also mocked Jesus.

00:14:23.603 --> 00:14:24.773
He saved others.

00:14:24.953 --> 00:14:27.203
They scoffed, but he can't save himself.

00:14:28.043 --> 00:14:32.213
Let this Messiah, this King of
Israel, come down from the cross

00:14:32.243 --> 00:14:33.833
so we can see it and believe him.

00:14:34.883 --> 00:14:38.123
Even the men who were crucified
with Jesus ridiculed him.

00:14:39.398 --> 00:14:44.408
At noon, darkness fell across the
whole land until three o'clock.

00:14:45.308 --> 00:14:50.978
Then at three o'clock, Jesus called
out with a loud voice, Eloi eloi

00:14:51.458 --> 00:14:59.468
lama hanai, which means My God,
my God, why have you abandoned me?

00:15:01.028 --> 00:15:04.118
Some of the bystanders
misunderstood and thought he was

00:15:04.118 --> 00:15:05.768
calling for the prophet Elijah.

00:15:06.818 --> 00:15:10.658
One of them ran and filled a sponge
with sour wine, holding it up to him

00:15:10.658 --> 00:15:12.308
on a reed stick so he could drink.

00:15:13.508 --> 00:15:13.928
Wait.

00:15:13.988 --> 00:15:17.348
He said, let's see whether
Elijah comes to take him down.

00:15:18.698 --> 00:15:24.878
Then Jesus uttered another loud
cry and breathed his last, and the

00:15:24.878 --> 00:15:30.488
curtain in the sanctuary of the temple
was torn in two from top to bottom.

00:15:32.303 --> 00:15:37.583
When the Roman officer who stood facing
him saw how he had died, he exclaimed

00:15:38.453 --> 00:15:41.333
this man truly was the son of God.

00:15:42.953 --> 00:15:47.573
Some women were there watching from
a distance, including Mary Magdalene,

00:15:48.083 --> 00:15:52.673
Mary, the mother of James, the
younger, and of Joseph and Salomi.

00:15:53.783 --> 00:15:57.473
They had been followers of Jesus and had
cared for him while he was in Galilee.

00:15:58.568 --> 00:16:02.108
Many other women who had come with
him to Jerusalem were also there.

00:16:03.548 --> 00:16:08.168
This all happened on Friday, the day of
preparation, the day before the Sabbath.

00:16:09.158 --> 00:16:14.198
As evening approached Joseph of
Arimathea, took a risk and went to

00:16:14.198 --> 00:16:16.898
Pilate and asked for Jesus' body.

00:16:17.978 --> 00:16:21.518
Joseph was an honored member of
the high council and he was waiting

00:16:21.518 --> 00:16:22.898
for the kingdom of God to come.

00:16:24.068 --> 00:16:26.858
Pilate couldn't believe
that Jesus was already dead.

00:16:27.098 --> 00:16:30.158
So he called for the Roman
officer and asked if he had died.

00:16:30.158 --> 00:16:34.178
Yet the officer confirmed
that Jesus was dead.

00:16:34.748 --> 00:16:37.088
So Pilate told Joseph
he could have the body.

00:16:37.838 --> 00:16:42.338
Joseph bought a long sheet of linen
cloth, then he took Jesus body down

00:16:42.338 --> 00:16:46.868
from the cross, wrapped it in the
cloth, and laid it in a tomb that

00:16:46.868 --> 00:16:48.308
had been carved out of the rock.

00:16:49.268 --> 00:16:51.638
Then he rolled a stone
in front of the entrance.

00:16:52.583 --> 00:16:57.713
Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of
Joseph, saw where Jesus' body was laid.

00:16:59.093 --> 00:17:04.643
Saturday evening when the Sabbath ended,
Mary Magdalene, Mary, the mother of James

00:17:04.763 --> 00:17:10.133
and Salomi, went out and purchased burial
spices so they could anoint Jesus' body.

00:17:11.153 --> 00:17:15.623
Very early on Sunday morning, just
at sunrise, they went to the tomb.

00:17:16.523 --> 00:17:20.483
On the way they were asking each
other who will roll away the stone

00:17:20.483 --> 00:17:22.463
for us from the entrance to the tomb.

00:17:23.453 --> 00:17:28.493
But as they arrived, they looked up
and saw that the stone, which was very

00:17:28.498 --> 00:17:31.103
large, had already been rolled aside.

00:17:32.123 --> 00:17:36.293
When they entered the tomb, they
saw a young man clothed in a white

00:17:36.293 --> 00:17:38.363
robe sitting on the right side.

00:17:39.113 --> 00:17:43.493
The women were shocked, but the
angel said, don't be alarmed.

00:17:44.303 --> 00:17:47.993
You are looking for Jesus of
Nazareth who was crucified.

00:17:49.043 --> 00:17:50.033
He isn't here.

00:17:50.573 --> 00:17:52.523
He has risen from the dead.

00:17:53.603 --> 00:17:55.913
Look, this is where they laid his body.

00:17:56.963 --> 00:18:01.793
Now go and tell his disciples,
including Peter, that Jesus is

00:18:01.793 --> 00:18:03.443
going ahead of you to Galilee.

00:18:04.253 --> 00:18:07.433
You'll see him there just as
he told you before he died.

00:18:08.633 --> 00:18:11.993
The women fled from the tomb
trembling and bewildered.

00:18:12.638 --> 00:18:16.388
And they said nothing to anyone
because they were too frightened.

00:18:18.458 --> 00:18:21.878
Note the most ancient manuscripts of Mark.

00:18:22.118 --> 00:18:24.488
Conclude with chapter 16 verse eight.

00:18:25.388 --> 00:18:32.408
Later, manuscripts add one or both of the
following endings, shorter ending of Mark.

00:18:33.848 --> 00:18:37.628
Then they briefly reported all
this to Peter and his companions.

00:18:38.588 --> 00:18:39.308
Afterward.

00:18:39.818 --> 00:18:45.668
Jesus himself sent them out from east to
west with the sacred and unfailing message

00:18:45.668 --> 00:18:48.278
of salvation that gives eternal life.

00:18:49.268 --> 00:18:49.958
Amen.

00:18:52.358 --> 00:18:58.238
Longer ending of Mark, after Jesus
rose from the dead Earl on Sunday

00:18:58.238 --> 00:19:03.128
morning, the first person who saw him
was Mary Magdalene, the woman from

00:19:03.128 --> 00:19:04.958
whom he had cast out seven demons.

00:19:05.768 --> 00:19:09.188
She went to the disciples who
were grieving and weeping and

00:19:09.188 --> 00:19:10.358
told them what had happened.

00:19:11.228 --> 00:19:14.708
But when she told them that
Jesus was alive and she had seen

00:19:14.708 --> 00:19:16.778
him, they didn't believe her.

00:19:17.828 --> 00:19:22.688
Afterward, he appeared in a different
form to two of his followers who were

00:19:22.688 --> 00:19:24.878
walking from Jerusalem into the country.

00:19:25.658 --> 00:19:29.378
They rushed back to tell the
others, but no one believed them.

00:19:30.398 --> 00:19:30.818
Still.

00:19:30.818 --> 00:19:34.688
Later he appeared to the 11 disciples
as they were eating together.

00:19:35.423 --> 00:19:39.473
He rebuked them for their stubborn
unbelief because they refused to

00:19:39.473 --> 00:19:42.803
believe those who had seen him after
he had been raised from the dead.

00:19:44.063 --> 00:19:48.443
And then he told them, go
into all the world and preach

00:19:48.448 --> 00:19:50.363
the good news to everyone.

00:19:51.263 --> 00:19:56.303
Anyone who believes and is baptized
will be saved, but anyone who

00:19:56.303 --> 00:19:58.823
refuses to believe will be condemned.

00:19:59.828 --> 00:20:02.858
These miraculous signs will
accompany those who believe.

00:20:03.398 --> 00:20:08.048
They will cast out demons in my name
and they will speak in new languages.

00:20:08.798 --> 00:20:12.368
They will be able to handle snakes
with safety, and if they drink

00:20:12.373 --> 00:20:14.558
anything poisonous, it won't hurt them.

00:20:15.308 --> 00:20:19.478
They will be able to place their hands
on the sick and they will be healed.

00:20:20.858 --> 00:20:24.248
When the Lord Jesus had finished
talking with them, he was taken

00:20:24.248 --> 00:20:28.808
up into heaven and sat down in the
place of honor at God's right hand.

00:20:29.438 --> 00:20:33.638
And the disciples went everywhere
and preached, and the Lord worked

00:20:33.638 --> 00:20:38.678
through them confirming what they
said by many miraculous signs.

00:20:40.118 --> 00:20:42.968
This concludes today's
Immer reading experience.

00:20:43.118 --> 00:20:44.138
Thank you for joining us.
