The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
---The First Sunday after the a Time Stopping Event...Hallowed by By God We KNOW as EASTER...when Jesus Christ Rose from the grave...
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
---The Other disciple is John...
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
---The Napkin due to jewish custom, when the master of the house was eating, if he was finished he would wod the napkin up letting his servant know that he was indeed finished when he left the table...BUT if HE Was to COME BACK He would FOLD the Napkin Informing the Servant the Master is coming Back...In this case that is the MESSAGE and why it was wrapped separately...because JESUS CHRIST is Coming Back...To Get His Bride...Hence Why He Saw and BELIEVED...for the Spirit of TRUTH confirmed what John, then Understood...
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
It was grevious for her whom saved her life from being stoned and a great supporter of his minsitry. So He let her
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and KNEW NOT THAT IT WAS JESUS.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
---See by His VOICE she knew Him...Hence John 10:4...for they know his voice. He tells her TOUCH ME NOT, for He had NOT YET BEEN GLORIFIED with the FATHER...on the 8th day...Now why the 8th day would this occur...and He gives her a very important key fact...also Jesus Christ was the most liberating to Women For He had more women followers and supporters than men...
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the DISCIPLES WERE ASSEMBLED for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, PEACE BE UNTO YOU.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he BREATHED on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
---Those are the words of Thomas, whom struggled with doubt...that was a thorn to Thomas. It is something to be overcome by the Blood of the Lamb...Personally I struggled with it and I prayed for STRONG faith to cast it out and it took some years to over come it...but I did...and I'm still overcoming things for He said those that endure to the END...God's will be done in Jesus Christ...
26 And AFTER EIGHT DAYS again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
---THEN IT IS LIKE IT IS IN SECRET WHEN HE SEES THEM...FOR THE DOORS WERE SHUT...FOR WHAT IS DONE IN SECRET HE REWARDETH THEE OPENLY...
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and BE NOT FAITHLESS, BUT BELIEVING.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
---HERE GOD IS TELLING THOMAS BLESSED ARE THEY THAT DONT STRUGGLE WITH DOUBT FOR IT IS A THING THAT HINDERS GROWTH AND MORE...SO IT MUST NEEDS MUCH PRAYER AND CHURCH WORK AND STUDYING TO ACCOMPLISH THIS AND BEING CONSTANTLY AROUND BELIEVERS...AND ALWAYS SEEING HIS WORKS...AND READING HIS WORD AND CONSTANTLY AND CONSISTANTLY SEEKING AND TALKING TO GOD ABOUT EVERYTHING...AND BEING AWARE OF SATONIC DECEPTIONS AND ADDRESSING DOUBT BEFORE IT MANIFEST...JUST ASK JESUS HOW DO i SEEK AND NOT DOUBT WHEN IT IS HERE...SHOW ME HOW? CAUSE i DONT KNOW HOW BUT TO KEEP GOING TO CHURCH AND READING YOUR WORD AND SEEKING AND PRAYING...PLEASE ANSWER ME SPEEDILY SO i DONT FALL...FOR SATAN WANTS YOU TO FALL FOR HE IS A FALLEN ANGEL...iTS A BATTLE OF THE MIND...AND SATAN TORMENTS PEOPLE WITH THIS...BUT YE SHALL OVERCOME BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB...WHICH IS THE NAME, JESUS CHRIST
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
