- [Genesis 3:1-24 ESV]
- 1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any other beast of the field that the LORD God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God actually say, ‘You shall not eat of any tree in the garden’?”
- 2 And the woman said to the serpent, “We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden,
- 3 but God said, ‘You shall not eat of the fruit of the tree that is in the midst of the garden, neither shall you touch it, lest you die.'”
- 4 But the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die.
- 5 For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
- 6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate.
- 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.
- 8 And they heard the sound of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
- 9 But the LORD God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?”
- 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.”
- 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?”
- 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.”
- 13 Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
- 14 The LORD God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go, and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.
- 15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
- 16 To the woman he said, “I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children. Your desire shall be contrary to your husband, but he shall rule over you.”
- 17 And to Adam he said, “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife and have eaten of the tree of which I commanded you, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ cursed is the ground because of you; in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
- 18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you; and you shall eat the plants of the field.
- 19 By the sweat of your face you shall eat bread, till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; for you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”
- 20 The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.
- 21 And the LORD God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.
- 22 Then the LORD God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever–“
- 23 therefore the LORD God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken.
- 24 He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.

- [John 20:1-10 ESV]
- 1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
- 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”
- 3 So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb.
- 4 Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
- 5 And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
- 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there,
- 7 and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.
- 8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;
- 9 for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
- 10 Then the disciples went back to their homes.
-
- [Luke 24:25-27 ESV]
- 25 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
- 26 Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?”
- 27 And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.
-
- [Matthew 27:51-53 ESV]
- 51 And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and the rocks were split.
- 52 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised,
- 53 and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
-
- [1 Corinthians 15:1-7 ESV]
- 1 Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand,
- 2 and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you–unless you believed in vain.
- 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
- 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
- 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
- 6 Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep.
- 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles.
