Mark 16:1, 5-6(a)
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus....
When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe
sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.
But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed.
You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified.
He has risen! He is not here!”

That same day two disciples were going to a village called Emmaus,
about seven miles from Jerusalem. They were talking with each other
about everything that had happened. And as they talked and deliberated,
Jesus himself came up and walked along with them.
But their eyes were kept from recognizing him....
While he was reclining at the table with them, he took bread,
spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them.
Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus—
and he disappeared from their sight.
They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us
as he spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?”

John 20:24-28
Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples
when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he replied, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands,
and put my finger where the nails have been,
and put my hand into his side, I will never believe.”
Eight days later, his disciples were once again inside with the doors locked,
and Thomas was with them.
Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at my hands.
Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Do not doubt, but believe.”
Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”

Later, by the Sea of Tiberias, Jesus again revealed himself to the disciples.
He made himself known in this way:
Simon Peter, Thomas called Didymus, Nathanael from Cana in Galilee,
the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples were together.
Simon Peter told them, “I am going fishing.” “We will go with you,” they said.
So they went out and got into the boat, but caught nothing that night.
Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore,
but the disciples did not recognize that it was Jesus.
So he called out to them, “Children, do you have any fish?” “No,” they answered.
He told them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.”
So they cast it there,
and they were unable to haul it in because there were so many fish.

When Jesus had led them out as far as Bethany,
he lifted up his hands and blessed them.
While he was blessing them, he left them and was carried up into heaven.
And they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy,
praising God continually in the temple.
