1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the
women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3but when they entered, they did not find the body of the
Lord Jesus. 4While they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in
clothes that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the
ground, but the men said to them, "Why do you look for the living among
the dead? 6He is not here; he has risen! ……

fact. 33Exalted to the right hand of God,

"Sit at my right hand
35until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet."

going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go,
I will send him to you. 8When
he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness
and judgment: 9in regard to sin, because men do
not believe in me; 10in regard to righteousness, because
I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11and in regard to judgment, because

9After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes,
and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10They were looking intently up into
the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside
them. 11"Men of Galilee," they
said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who
has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have
seen him go into heaven."
19and his incomparably great power
for us who believe. That power is like the working of his mighty strength, 20which he exerted in Christ when he
raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly
realms, 21far above all rule and authority,
power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present
age but also in the one to come. 22And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him
to be head over everything for the church, 23which is his body, the fullness of
him who fills everything in every way.

God and is also interceding for us.

16 For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's
descendants.
17 For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in
every way, in order that he might become a merciful and faithful high priest in
service to God, and that he might make
atonement for the sins of the people.
18 Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is
able to help those who are being tempted.

has become a priest not on the basis of a regulation as to his ancestry but on
