But the man said, "Don't be afraid. You are looking for Jesus from Nazareth, the one who was killed on a cross. He has risen from death! He is not here. Look, here is the place they put him when he was dead.
Now go and tell his followers. And be sure to tell Peter. Tell them, 'Jesus is going into Galilee and will be there before you come. You will see him there, as he told you before.'"
Jesus rose from death early on the first day of the week. He showed himself first to Mary Magdalene. One time in the past Jesus had forced seven demons out of Mary.
Later, Jesus showed himself to the eleven followers while they were eating. He criticized them because they had so little faith. They were stubborn and refused to believe the people who said Jesus had risen from death.
And the people who believe will be able to do these things as proof: They will use my name to force demons out of people. They will speak in languages they never learned.
The followers went everywhere in the world telling people the Good News, and the Lord helped them. By giving them power to do miracles the Lord proved that their message was true.
