The Diatessaron (Section 53)

[1] Luke 24:4 And while they marvelled at that, behold, two men standing above them, their [2] raiment shining: Luke 24:5 and they were seized with fright, and bowed down their face to [3] the earth: and they said unto them, Why seek ye the living one with the dead? Luke 24:6 He is not here; he is risen: remember what he was speaking unto you while he was in [4] Galilee, and saying, Luke 24:7 The Son of man is to be delivered up into the hands of sinners, [5] and to be crucified, and on the third day to rise. Matthew 28:7a But go in haste, and say to his disciples and to Cephas, He is risen from among the dead; and lo, he goes before [6] you into Galilee; and there you shall see him, where he said unto you: lo, I have [7] told you. And they remembered his sayings; and they departed in haste from the [8] tomb with joy and great fear, and hastened and went; Mark 16:8b and perplexity and fear [9] encompassed them; and they told no man anything, for they were afraid. John 20:2 And Mary hastened, and came to Simon Cephas, and to that other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, They have taken our Lord from the sepulchre, and I [10] know not where they have laid him. John 20:3 And Simon went out, and that other disciple, [11] and came to the sepulchre. John 20:4 And they hastened both together: and that disciple [12] outran Simon, and came first to the sepulchre; John 20:5 and he looked down, and saw the [13] linen laid; but he went not in. John 20:6 And Simon came after him, and entered into the [14] [Arabic, p. 201] sepulchre, and saw the linen laid; John 20:7 and the scarf with which his head was bound was not with the linen, but wrapped and laid aside in a certain place. [15] John 20:8 Then entered that disciple which came first to the sepulchre, and saw, and believed. [16] John 20:9 And they knew not yet from the scriptures that the Messiah was to rise from among [17] the dead. John 20:10 And those two disciples went to their place.

[18] John 20:11 But Mary remained at the tomb weeping: and while she wept, she looked [19] down into the tomb; John 20:12 and she saw two angels sitting in white raiment, one of them toward his pillow, and the other toward his feet, where the body of Jesus had been [20] laid. John 20:13 And they said unto her, Woman, why do you weep? She said unto them, [21] They have taken my Lord, and I know not where they have left him. John 20:14 She said that, and turned behind her, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was [22] Jesus. John 20:15 Jesus said unto her, Woman, why do you weep? whom do you seek? And she supposed him to be the gardener, and said, My lord, if you have taken him, [23] tell me where you have laid him, that I may go and take him. John 20:16 Jesus said unto her, Mary. She turned, and said unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is, being [24] interpreted, Teacher. John 20:17 Jesus said unto her, Touch me not; for I have not ascended yet unto my Father: go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

[25] Mark 16:9 And on the First-day on which he rose, he appeared first unto Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons.

[26] Matthew 28:11b And some of those guards came to the city, and informed the chief priests of [27] [Arabic, p. 202] all that had happened. Matthew 28:12 And they assembled with the elders, and took [28] counsel; Matthew 28:13 and they gave money, not a little, to the guards, and said unto them, Say ye, His disciples came and stole him by night, while we were sleeping.

[29] Matthew 28:14 And if the judge hear that, we will make a plea with him, and free you of blame. [30] Matthew 28:15 And they, when they took the money, did according to what they taught them. And this word spread among the Jews unto this day.

[31] John 20:18 And then came Mary Magdalene, and announced to the disciples that she had seen our Lord, and that he had said that unto her.

[32] Matthew 28:8b And while the first women were going in the way to inform his disciples, [33] Jesus met them, and said unto them, Peace unto you. Matthew 28:9 And they came and took [34] hold of his feet, and worshipped him. Matthew 28:10 Then said Jesus unto them, Fear not: but go and say to my brethren that they depart into Galilee, and there they shall see [35] me. Luke 24:9 And those women returned, and told all that to the eleven, and to the rest of the disciples; Mark 16:10b and to those that had been with him, for they were saddened and [36] weeping. Luke 24:10 And those were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the rest who were with them: and they were those that told the apostles. [37] Mark 16:11 And they, when they heard them say that he was alive and had appeared unto them, [38] did not believe them: Luke 24:11a and these sayings were before their eyes as the sayings of madness. [39] [Arabic, p. 203] And after that, he appeared to two of them, on that day, and while they were going to the village which was named Emmaus, and whose distance [40] from Jerusalem was sixty furlongs. Luke 24:14 And they were talking the one of them with the [41] other of all the things which had happened. Luke 24:15 And during the time of their talking and [42] inquiring with one another, Jesus came and reached them, and walked with them. Luke 24:16 But [43] their eyes were veiled that they should not know him. Luke 24:17 And he said unto them, What are these sayings which you address the one of you to the other, as you walk and are [44] sad? Luke 24:18 One of them, whose name was Cleopas, answered and said unto him, Are you perchance alone a stranger to Jerusalem, since you know not what was in [45] it in these days? He said unto them, What was? Luke 24:19 They said unto him, Concerning Jesus, he who was from Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, and powerful in [46] speech and deeds before God and before all the people: Luke 24:20 and the chief priests and [47] the elders delivered him up to the sentence of death, and crucified him. Luke 24:21 But we supposed that he was the one who was to deliver Israel. And since all these [48] things happened there have passed three days. Luke 24:22 But certain women of us also [49] informed us that they had come to the sepulchre; Luke 24:23 and when they found not his body, they came and told us that they had seen there the angels, and they said [50] concerning him that he was alive. Luke 24:24 And some of us also went to the sepulchre, and [51] found the matter as the women had said: only they saw him not. Luke 24:25 Then said Jesus [52] unto them, You lacking in discernment, and heavy in heart to believe! Luke 24:26 Was it not in all the sayings of the prophets that the Messiah was to suffer these things, and to [53] [Arabic, p. 204] enter into his Glory? Luke 24:27 And he began from Moses and from all the prophets, [54] and interpreted to them concerning himself from all the scriptures. Luke 24:28 And they drew near unto the village, whither they were going: and he was leading them to [55] imagine that he was as if going to a distant region. Luke 24:29 And they pressed him, and said unto him, Abide with us: for the day has declined now to the darkness. And he went [56] in to abide with them. Luke 24:30 And when he sat with them, he took bread, and blessed, [57] and broke, and gave to them. Luke 24:31 And straightway their eyes were opened, and they [58] knew him; and he was taken away from them. Luke 24:32 And they said the one to the other, Was not our heart heavy within us, while he was speaking to us in the way, and interpreting to us the scriptures?

[59] Luke 24:33 And they rose in that hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven [60] gathered, and those that were with them, saying, Luke 24:34 Truly our Lord is risen, and has [61] appeared to Simon. Luke 24:35 And they related what happened in the way, and how they knew him when he broke the bread. Mark 16:13 Neither believed they that also.
