"""Earth and Heaven in chorus say"". The change was made to make the hymn more inclusive by removing the specific gender pronouns to indicate the Resurrection for all. This altered version has since been adopted by other Christian denominations. The lyrics of ""Christ the Lord Is Risen Today"" draw inspiration from a number of Biblical texts. The overall focus of the hymn is drawn from where Mary Magdalene and the other Mary is told by an angel of Jesus' resurrection. The wording as well as the ""Alleluias"" are drawn from the Book of Psalms with a number of Psalms being"

She tried to touch him, but he told her, ""Don't touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my father."" Jesus then sent her to tell the other apostles the good news of his resurrection.

Although no single gospel gives an inclusive or definitive account of the resurrection of Jesus or his appearances, there are four points at which all four gospels converge: All four gospels report that women were the ones to find the tomb of Jesus empty.

The unnamed man then proceeds to explain the writings of the prophet Moses concerning God's Messiah or Christ. When the three travelers reach Emmaus, they share a meal.

Despite this, all four canonical gospels, as well as the apocryphal Gospel of Peter, agree that Mary Magdalene, either alone or as a member of a group, was the first person to discover that Jesus's tomb was empty. Nonetheless, the details of the accounts differ drastically. According to , the earliest account of the discovery of the empty tomb, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome went to the"
"complementarians and egalitarians see Jesus as treating women with compassion, grace and dignity. The gospels of the New Testament, especially Luke, mention Jesus speaking to or helping women publicly and openly. Martha's sister Mary sat at Jesus' feet being taught, a privilege reserved for men in Judaism. Jesus had female followers who were his sponsors, and he stopped to express concern for the women of Jerusalem on his way to be crucified. Mary Magdalene is stated in the Gospels to be the first person to see Jesus after his resurrection. In the narratives, Jesus charged her to tell others of"
"Jesus' interactions with women Jesus' interactions with women are an important element in the theological debate about Christianity and women. Women are prominent in the story of Jesus. He was born of a woman, had numerous interactions with women, and was seen first by women after his resurrection. He commissioned the women to go and tell his disciples that he is risen, which is the essential message of Christianity. A plain reading of Jesus' teaching recorded in all three Synoptic Gospels indicates that Jesus ""forbids"" any hierarchy in Christian relationships, presumably including both women and men: ""You know that the"

Jesus said to them, ""No matter where you come [from] it is to James the Just that you shall go, for whose sake heaven and earth have come to exist.""

"Resurrection of Jesus The resurrection of Jesus or resurrection of Christ is the Christian religious belief that, after being put to death, Jesus rose again from the dead: as the Nicene Creed expresses it, ""On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures"". According to the New Testament, after the Romans crucified Jesus, he was anointed and buried in a new tomb by Joseph of Arimathea but God raised him from the dead and he appeared to witnesses before he ascended into heaven, to sit at the right hand of Father. Paul the Apostle declared that ""Christ"

In the New Testament, she is the first witness of the resurrection: “When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons” (Mk 16:9). Mary Magdalene is the only character whose face is turned toward Gesualdo rather than toward Christ. In the sphere of the saints, she offers a pendant to the protective figure of St. Charles Borromeo. The characteristically Baroque rhetoric of glances and gestures in the painting places Gesualdo and Christ the"

Though the original followers of Jesus believed Jesus to be the Jewish messiah, e.g. in the Confession of Peter, before the crucifixion and resurrection, Jesus was usually referred to as ""Jesus of Nazareth"" or ""Jesus, son of Joseph"". Jesus came to be called ""Jesus Christ"" (meaning ""Jesus the ""Khristós"""", i.e. ""Jesus the Messiah"" or ""Jesus the Anointed"") by his followers after his crucifixion and resurrection.

"Visions of Jesus and Mary Since the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ on Calvary, a number of people have claimed to have had visions of Jesus Christ and personal conversations with him. Some people make similar claims regarding his mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary. Discussions about the authenticity of these visions have often invited controversy. The Catholic Church endorses a fraction of these claims, and various visionaries it accepts have achieved beatification, or even sainthood. The very first reported visions of Christ, and personal conversations with him, after his resurrection and prior to his ascension are found in the New Testament."

"Road to Emmaus appearance The Road to Emmaus appearance is one of the early resurrection appearances of Jesus after his crucifixion and the discovery of the empty tomb. Both the ""Meeting on the road to Emmaus"" and the subsequent Supper at Emmaus, depicting the meal that Jesus had with two disciples after the encounter on the road, have been popular subjects in art.

Paul's First Epistle to the Corinthians contains a list of resurrection appearances of Jesus, the first of which is an appearance to Peter. Here, Paul apparently follows an early tradition that Peter was the first to see the risen Christ, which, however, did not seem to have survived to the time when the gospels were written. In the final chapter of the Gospel of John, Peter, in one of the resurrection appearances of Jesus, three times affirmed his love for Jesus, balancing his threefold denial,"

In John 20:27 Jesus ordered Saint Thomas the Apostle: “""Put your hand into My side""”. But the Bible does not mention if Saint Thomas followed"

Christ's appearance was changed while they watched into a glorious radiant figure. There appeared Elijah and Moses, speaking with Jesus. The disciples were amazed and terribly afraid. This event shows forth the divinity of Christ, so that the disciples would understand after his Ascension that He was truly the radiant splendor of the Father, and that his Passion was voluntary."
