Peter turned around and saw behind him that other disciple, whom Jesus loved---the one who had leaned close to Jesus at the meal and had asked, "Lord, who is going to betray you?"

He is the disciple who spoke of these things, the one who also wrote them down; and we know that what he said is true.

One of the disciples, the one whom Jesus loved, was sitting next to Jesus.

Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there; so he said to his mother, "He is your son."

She went running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and told them, "They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"

After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord.

Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

This was done by the LORD; what a wonderful sight it is!

And if someone asks you why you are doing that, say that the Master needs it and will send it back at once."

This very day in David's town your Savior was born---Christ the Lord!

"All the people of Israel, then, are to know for sure that this Jesus, whom you crucified, is the one that God has made Lord and Messiah!"

You know the message he sent to the people of Israel, proclaiming the Good News of peace through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of all.

The first Adam, made of earth, came from the earth; the second Adam came from heaven.

My friends, as believers in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, you must never treat people in different ways according to their outward appearance.

Water cannot put it out; no flood can drown it. But if any tried to buy love with their wealth, contempt is all they would get.

Then Peter spoke up. "Lord, if it is really you, order me to come out on the water to you."

"Come!" answered Jesus. So Peter got out of the boat and started walking on the water to Jesus.

I tell you, then, the great love she has shown proves that her many sins have been forgiven. But whoever has been forgiven little shows only a little love."

We are ruled by the love of Christ, now that we recognize that one man died for everyone, which means that they all share in his death.
