1
And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave to them: and they all drank of it.
2
And he said unto them, This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
3
Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
4
And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives.
5
And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad.
6
Howbeit, after I am raised up, I will go before you into Galilee.
7
But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I.
8
And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, that thou to-day,
9
even this night, before the cock crow twice, shalt deny me thrice.
10
But he spake exceeding vehemently, If I must die with thee, I will not deny thee. And in like manner also said they all.
11
And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray.
12
And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled.
13
And he saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death: abide ye here, and watch.
14
And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
15
And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; remove this cup from me: howbeit not what I will, but what thou wilt.
16
And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest thou not watch one hour?
17
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
18
And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
19
And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they knew not what to answer him.
20
And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

1
And the sabbath being [now] past, Mary of Magdala, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, bought aromatic spices that they might come and embalm him.
2
And very early on the first [day] of the week they come to the sepulchre, the sun having risen.
3
And they said to one another, Who shall roll us away the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?
4
And when they looked, they see that the stone has been rolled [away], for it was very great.
5
And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a white robe, and they were amazed and alarmed;
6
but he says to them, Be not alarmed. Ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, the crucified one. He is risen, he is not here; behold the place where they had put him.
7
But go, tell his disciples and Peter, he goes before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said to you.
8
And they went out, and fled from the sepulchre. And trembling and excessive amazement possessed them, and they said nothing to any one, for they were afraid.
9
Now when he had risen very early, the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary of Magdala, out of whom he had cast seven demons.
10
She went and brought word to those that had been with him, [who were] grieving and weeping.
11
And when these heard that he was alive and had been seen of her, they disbelieved [it].
12
And after these things he was manifested in another form to two of them as they walked, going into the country;
13
and they went and brought word to the rest; neither did they believe them.
14
Afterwards as they lay at table he was manifested to the eleven, and reproached [them with] their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they had not believed those who had seen him risen.
15
And he said to them, Go into all the world, and preach the glad tidings to all the creation.
16
He that believes and is baptised shall be saved, and he that disbelieves shall be condemned.
17
And these signs shall follow those that have believed: in my name they shall cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues;
18
they shall take up serpents; and if they should drink any deadly thing it shall not injure them; they shall lay hands upon the infirm, and they shall be well.
19
The Lord therefore, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven, and sat at the right hand ofGod.
20
And they, going forth, preached everywhere, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word by the signs following upon [it].

1
Et cum transisset sabbatum, Maria Magdalene, et Maria Iacobi, et Salome emerunt aromata ut venientes ungerent Iesum.
2
Et valde mane una sabbatorum, veniunt ad monumentum, orto iam sole.
3
Et dicebant ad invicem: Quis revolvet nobis lapidem ab ostio monumenti?
4
Et respicientes viderunt revolutum lapidem. Erat quippe magnus valde.
5
Et introeuntes in monumentum viderunt iuvenem sedentem in dextris, coopertum stola candida, et obstupuerunt.
6
Qui dicit illis: Nolite expavescere: Iesum quæritis Nazarenum, crucifixum: surrexit, non est hic, ecce locus ubi posuerunt eum.
7
Sed ite, dicite discipulis eius, et Petro quia præcedit vos in Galilæam: ibi eum videbitis, sicut dixit vobis.
8
At illæ exeuntes, fugerunt de monumento: invaserat enim eas tremor et pavor: et nemini quidquam dixerunt: timebant enim.
9
Surgens autem mane, prima sabbati, apparuit primo Mariæ Magdalene, de qua eiecerat septem dæmonia.
10
Illa vadens nunciavit his, qui cum eo fuerant, lugentibus, et flentibus.
11
Et illi audientes quia viveret, et visus esset ab ea, non crediderunt.
12
Post hæc autem duobus ex his ambulantibus ostensus est in alia effigie, euntibus in villam:
13
et illi euntes nunciaverunt ceteris: nec illis crediderunt.
14
Novissime recumbentibus illis undecim apparuit: et exprobravit incredulitatem eorum et duritiam cordis: quia iis, qui viderant eum resurrexisse, non crediderunt.
15
Et dixit eis: Euntes in mundum universum prædicate Evangelium omni creaturæ.
16
Qui crediderit, et baptizatus fuerit, salvus erit: qui vero non crediderit, condemnabitur.
17
Signa autem eos, qui crediderint, hæc sequentur: In nomine meo dæmonia eiicient: linguis loquentur novis:
18
serpentes tollent: et si mortiferum quid biberint, non eis nocebit: super ægros manus imponent, et bene habebunt.
19
Et Dominus quidem Iesus postquam locutus est eis, assumptus est in cælum, et sedet a dextris Dei.
20
Illi autem profecti prædicaverunt ubique Domino cooperante, et sermonem confirmante, sequentibus signis.

When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, that they might come and anoint him.
2
Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.
3
They were saying among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”
4
for it was very big. Looking up, they saw that the stone was rolled back.
5
Entering into the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, dressed in a white robe; and they were amazed.
6
He said to them, “Don’t be amazed. You seek Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him!
7
But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He goes before you into Galilee. There you will see him, as he said to you.’”
8
They went out, and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had come on them. They said nothing to anyone; for they were afraid.
9
Now when he had risen early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.
10
She went and told those who had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
11
When they heard that he was alive and had been seen by her, they disbelieved.
12
After these things he was revealed in another form to two of them as they walked, on their way into the country.
13
They went away and told it to the rest. They didn’t believe them, either.
14
Afterward he was revealed to the eleven themselves as they sat at the table; and he rebuked them for their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they didn’t believe those who had seen him after he had risen.
15
He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the Good News to the whole creation.
16
He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who disbelieves will be condemned.
17
These signs will accompany those who believe: in my name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new languages;
18
they will take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it will in no way hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”
19
So then the Lord, after he had spoken to them, was received up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God.
20
They went out and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them and confirming the word by the signs that followed. Amen.

And the sabbath having past, Mary the Magdalene, and Mary of James, and Salome, bought spices, that having come, they may anoint him,
2
and early in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, they come unto the sepulchre, at the rising of the sun,
3
and they said among themselves, `Who shall roll away for us the stone out of the door of the sepulchre?'
4
And having looked, they see that the stone hath been rolled away--for it was very great,
5
and having entered into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right hand, arrayed in a long white robe, and they were amazed.
6
And he saith to them, `Be not amazed, ye seek Jesus the Nazarene, the crucified: he did rise--he is not here; lo, the place where they laid him!
7
and go, say to his disciples, and Peter, that he doth go before you to Galilee; there ye shall see him, as he said to you.'
8
And, having come forth quickly, they fled from the sepulchre, and trembling and amazement had seized them, and to no one said they anything, for they were afraid.
9
And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons;
10
she having gone, told those who had been with him, mourning and weeping;
11
and they, having heard that he is alive, and was seen by her, did not believe.
12
And after these things, to two of them, as they are going into a field, walking, he was manifested in another form,
13
and they having gone, told to the rest; not even them did they believe.
14
Afterwards, as they are reclining (at meat), he was manifested to the eleven, and did reproach their unbelief and stiffness of heart, because they believed not those having seen him being raised;
15
and he said to them, `Having gone to all the world, proclaim the good news to all the creation;
16
he who hath believed, and hath been baptized, shall be saved; and he who hath not believed, shall be condemned.
17
`And signs shall accompany those believing these things; in my name demons they shall cast out; with new tongues they shall speak;
18
serpents they shall take up; and if any deadly thing they may drink, it shall not hurt them; on the ailing they shall lay hands, and they shall be well.'
19
The Lord, then, indeed, after speaking to them, was received up to the heaven, and sat on the right hand of God;
20
and they, having gone forth, did preach everywhere, the Lord working with <FI>them<Fi> , and confirming the word, through the signs following. Amen.
Explanations by Age Level
Explain Like I'm 5
A long, long time ago, there was nothing at all - no earth, no sky, no animals, no people. It was all dark and empty. But God was there! God is so powerful that He can make anything just by speaking. So God said "Let there be light!" and BOOM! There was light everywhere! God saw that the light was beautiful and good. He called the light "day" and the darkness "night." This was the very first day when God started making our wonderful world!
Explain Like I'm 10
Before anything existed - no planets, stars, or life - God decided to create the universe. The earth started out as a dark, empty place covered with water. But God's Spirit was there, ready to bring order and beauty to everything. When God spoke and said "Let there be light," light immediately appeared because God's words have incredible power. God looked at the light and was pleased with what He had made. He organized time by separating light (day) from darkness (night), creating the first 24-hour period. This shows us that God is organized and purposeful in everything He does.
Explain Like I'm 15
Genesis 1:1-5 establishes fundamental theological truths about God and creation. The Hebrew word "bara" (created) indicates creation from nothing (ex nihilo), demonstrating God's absolute sovereignty and power. The phrase "without form and void" (tohu wa-bohu) describes a state of chaos that God transforms into order. The Spirit of God "hovering" or "brooding" over the waters suggests active, caring involvement in creation. The creation of light before the sun (created on day 4) indicates that God Himself is the ultimate source of light and energy. The establishment of day and night creates the framework of time, showing that God operates within orderly patterns while transcending them. This passage refutes both atheistic materialism and pantheism, establishing that God is both transcendent (separate from creation) and immanent (actively involved in it).
