¹ And he took me to the doorway looking to the east:

² And there was the glory of the God of Israel coming from the way of the east: and his voice was like the sound of great waters, and the earth was shining with his glory.

³ And the vision which I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came for the destruction of the town: and like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.

⁴ And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the doorway looking to the east.

⁵ And the spirit, lifting me up, took me into the inner square; and I saw that the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

⁶ And the voice of one talking to me came to my ears from inside the house; and the man was by my side.

⁷ And he said to me, Son of man, this is the place where the seat of my power is and the resting-place of my feet, where I will be among the children of Israel for ever: and no longer will the people of Israel make my holy name unclean, they or their kings, by their loose ways and by the dead bodies of their kings;

⁸ By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.

⁹ Now let them put their loose ways and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will be among them for ever.

¹⁰ You, son of man, give the children of Israel an account of this house, so that they may be shamed because of their evil-doing: and let them see the vision of it and its image.

¹¹ And they will be shamed by what they have done; so give them the knowledge of the form of the house and its structure, and the ways out of it and into it, and all its laws and its rules, writing it down for them: so that they may keep all its laws and do them.

¹² This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain all the space round it on every side will be most holy. See, this is the law of the house.

¹³ And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: (the cubit being a cubit and a hand's measure;) its hollow base is a cubit high and a cubit wide, and it has an overhanging edge as wide as a hand-stretch all round it:

¹⁴ And from the base on the earth level to the lower shelf, the altar is two cubits high and a cubit wide; and from the smaller shelf to the greater shelf it is four cubits high and a cubit wide.

¹⁵ And the fireplace is four cubits high: and coming up from the fireplace are the horns, a cubit high.

¹⁶ And the fireplace is twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide, square on its four sides.

¹⁷ And the shelf is fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, on its four sides; the edge round it is half a cubit; the base of it is a cubit all round, and its steps are facing the east.

¹⁸ And he said to me, Son of man, the Lord God has said, These are the rules for the altar, when they make it, for the offering of burned offerings on it and the draining out of the blood.

¹⁹ You are to give to the priests, the Levites of the seed of Zadok, who come near to me, says the Lord God, to do my work, a young ox for a sin-offering.

²⁰ You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns and on the four angles of the shelf and on the edge all round: and you are to make it clean and free from sin.

²¹ And you are to take the ox of the sin-offering, and have it burned in the special place ordered for it in the house, outside the holy place.

²² And on the second day you are to have a he-goat without any mark on it offered for a sin-offering; and they are to make the altar clean as they did with the young ox.

²³ And after you have made it clean, let a young ox without a mark be offered, and a male sheep from the flock without a mark.

²⁴ And you are to take them before the Lord, and the priests will put salt on them, offering them up for a burned offering to the Lord.

²⁵ Every day for seven days you are to give a goat for a sin-offering: and let them give in addition a young ox and a male sheep from the flock without any mark on them.

²⁶ For seven days they are to make offerings to take away sin from the altar and to make it clean; so they are to make it holy.

²⁷ And when these days have come to an end, then on the eighth day and after, the priests will make your burned offerings on the altar and your peace-offerings; and I will take pleasure in you, says the Lord.

¹ Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

² Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid him!"

³ Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

⁴ They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first.

⁵ Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn't enter in.

⁶ Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,

⁷ and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁸ So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.

⁹ For as yet they didn't know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

¹⁰ So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

¹¹ But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

¹² and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹³ They told her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have laid him."

¹⁴ When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn't know that it was Jesus.

¹⁵ Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him, "Rabboni!" which is to say, "Teacher!"

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, "Don't hold me, for I haven't yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

¹⁹ When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be to you."

²⁰ When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.

²¹ Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you."

²² When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit!

²³ Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. Whoever's sins you retain, they have been retained."

²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn't with them when Jesus came.

²⁵ The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."

²⁶ After eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the midst, and said, "Peace be to you."

²⁷ Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don't be unbelieving, but believing."

²⁸ Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

²⁹ Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have believed."

³⁰ Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

³¹ but these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.
