7 On the first day of the week we met for the breaking of bread; Paul addressed them, as he was to leave next day, and he prolonged his address till midnight

Acts 20:7
Luke 24:1-53
1 On the sabbath they rested in obedience to God's command, but on the first day of the week at early dawn they took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
2 The boulder they found rolled away from the tomb,
3 but when they went inside they could not find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 They were puzzling over this, when two men flashed on them in dazzling raiment.
5 They were terrified and bent their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look among the dead for him who is alive?
6 He is not here, he has risen. Remember how he told you when he was still in Galilee
7 that the Son of man had to be betrayed into the hands of sinful men and be crucified and rise on the third day."
8 Then they remembered what he had said,
9 and turning away from the tomb they reported all this to the eleven and all the others.
10 (It was Mary of Magdala, Joanna, and Mary the mother of James who with the rest of the women told this to the apostles.)
11 But this story of the women seemed in their opinion to be nonsense; they would not believe them.
12 Peter did get up and run to the tomb, but when he looked in he saw nothing except the linen bandages; so he went away home wondering what had happened.
13 That very day two of them were on their way to a village called Emmaus about seven miles from Jerusalem.
14 They were conversing about all these events,
15 and during their conversation and discussion Jesus himself approached and walked beside them,
16 though they were prevented from recognizing him.
17 He said to them, "What is all this you are debating on your walk?" They stopped, looking downcast,
18 and one of them, called Cleopas, answered him, "Are you a lone stranger in Jerusalem, not to know what has been happening there?"
19 "What is that?" he said to them. They replied, "All about Jesus of Nazaret! To God and all the people he was a prophet strong in action and utterance,
20 but the high priests and our rulers delivered him up to be sentenced to death and crucified him.
21 Our own hope was that he would be the redeemer of Israel; but he is dead, and that is three days ago!
22 Though some women of our number gave us a surprise; they were at the tomb early in the morning
23 and could not find his body, but they came to tell us they had actually seen a vision of angels who declared he was alive.
24 Some of our company did go to the tomb and found things exactly as the women had said, but they did not see him."
25 He said to them, "O foolish men, with hearts so slow to believe, after all the prophets have declared!
26 Had not the Christ to suffer thus and so enter his glory?"
27 Then he began with Moses and all the prophets and interpreted to them the passages referring to himself throughout the scriptures.
28 Now they approached the village to which they were going. He pretended to be going further on,
29 but they pressed him, saying, "Stay with us, for it is getting towards evening and the day has now declined." So he went in to stay with them.
30 And as he lay at table with them he took the loaf, blessed it, broke it and handed it to them.
31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized him, but he vanished from their sight.
32 And they said to one another, "Did not our hearts glow within us when he was talking to us on the road, opening up the scriptures for us?"
33 So they got up and returned that very hour to Jerusalem, where they found the eleven and their friends all gathered,
34 who told them that the Lord had really risen and that he had appeared to Simon.
35 Then they related their own experience on the road and how they had recognized him when he broke the loaf.
36 Just as they were speaking He stood among them [and said to them, "Peace to you!"]
37 They were scared and terrified, imagining it was a ghost they saw;
38 but he said to them, "Why are you upset? Why do doubts invade your mind?
39 Look at my hands and feet. It is I! Feel me and see; a ghost has not flesh and bones as you see I have."
40 [With these words he showed them his hands and feet.]
41 Even yet they could not believe it for sheer joy; they were lost in wonder. So he said to them, "Have you any food here?"
42 And when they handed him a piece of broiled fish,
43 he took and ate it in their presence.
44 Then he said to them, "When I was still with you, this is what I told you, that whatever is written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms must be fulfilled."
45 Then he opened their minds to understand the scriptures.
46 "Thus," he said, "it is written that the Christ has to suffer and rise from the dead on the third day,
47 and that repentance and the remission of sins must be preached in his name to all nations, beginning from Jerusalem.
48 To this you must bear testimony.
49 And I will send down on you what my Father has promised; wait in the city till you are endued with power from on high."
50 He led them out as far as Bethany; then, lifting his hands, he blessed them.
51 And as he blessed them he parted from them [and was carried up to heaven].
52 They [worshipped him and] returned with great joy to Jerusalem,
53 where they spent all their time within the temple, blessing God.
John 20:1-31
1 On the first day of the week Mary of Magdala went early to the tomb, when it was still dark; but as she saw the boulder had been removed from the tomb,
2 she ran off to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the favourite of Jesus, telling them, "They have taken the master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put him!"
3 So Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb;
4 they both started to run, but the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and got to the tomb first.
5 He glanced in and saw the bandages lying on the ground, but he did not go inside.
6 Then Simon Peter came after him, and went inside the tomb; he noticed not only that the bandages were lying on the ground
7 but that the napkin which had been round his head was folded up by itself, instead of lying beside the other bandages.
8 Upon this the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went inside too, and when he saw for himself he was convinced.
9 (For as yet they did not understand the Scripture that he must rise from the dead.)
10 Then the disciples returned home;
11 but Mary stood sobbing outside the tomb. As she sobbed, she glanced inside the tomb
12 and noticed two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.
13 "Woman," they said to her, "why are you sobbing?" She said, "Because they have taken away my master, and I do not know where they have put him!"
14 With these words she turned round and noticed Jesus standing — though she did not know it was Jesus.
15 "Woman," said Jesus, "why are you sobbing? Who are you looking for?" Supposing he was the gardener, she said, "Oh, sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you put him, and I will remove him."
16 "Mary!" said Jesus. She started round and said, "Rabboni!" (a Hebrew word meaning 'teacher').
17 Jesus said, "Cease clinging to me. I have not ascended yet to the Father, but go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to my Father and yours, to my God and yours.'"
18 Away went Mary of Magdala to the disciples with the news, "I have seen the Lord!" — telling them what he had said to her.
19 On the evening of that same day — the first day of the week — though the disciples had gathered within closed doors for fear of the Jews, Jesus entered and stood among them, saying, "Peace be with you!"
20 So saying he showed them his hands and his side; and when the disciples saw the Lord, they rejoiced.
21 Jesus then repeated, "Peace be with you! As the Father sent me forth, I am sending you forth."
22 And with these words he breathed on them, and added, "Receive the holy Spirit!
23 If you remit the sins of any, they are remitted: if you retain them, they are retained."
24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called 'the Twin,' was not with them when Jesus came;
25 and when the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord," he said, "Unless I see his hands with the mark of the nails, and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I refuse to believe it."
26 Eight days afterwards his disciples were together again, and Thomas with them. Though the doors were closed, Jesus entered and stood among them, saying, "Peace be with you!"
27 Then he said to Thomas, "Look at my hands, put your finger here; and put your hand here into my side; cease your unbelief and believe."
28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
29 Jesus said to him, "You believe because you have seen me? Blessed be those who believe though they have never seen me."
30 Many another Sign did Jesus perform in presence of his disciples, which is not recorded in this book;
31 but these Signs are recorded so that you may believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and believing may have life through his Name.
1 Corinthians 16:2
2 On the first day of the week let each of you put aside a sum from his weekly gains, so that the money may not have to be collected when I come.
