CONVINCED<\/strong><\/h3>\n

John 20:1-10 (ESV) <\/b>
\n1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, \u201cThey have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.\u201d
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb.
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there,
\n7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus\u201d\u2122 head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then the disciples went back to their homes. <\/span><\/p>\n

Luke 24:33-45 (ESV) <\/b>
\n33 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And they rose that same hour and returned to Jerusalem. And they found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,
\n34 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0saying, \u201cThe Lord has risen indeed, and has appeared to Simon!\u201d
\n35 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then they told what had happened on the road, and how he was known to them in the breaking of the bread.
\n36 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, \u201cPeace to you!\u201d<\/span>
\n37 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.
\n38 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And he said to them, \u201cWhy are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?<\/span>
\n39 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.\u201d<\/span>
\n40 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet.
\n41 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, \u201cHave you anything here to eat?\u201d<\/span>
\n42 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0They gave him a piece of broiled fish,
\n43 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and he took it and ate before them.
\n44 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then he said to them, \u201cThese are my words that I spoke to you while I was still with you, that everything written about me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled.\u201d<\/span>
\n45 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, <\/span><\/p>\n

1 Corinthians 15:3-5 (ESV) <\/b>
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures,
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures,
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.<\/p>\n

John 21:1-14 (ESV) <\/b>
\n1 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0After this Jesus revealed himself again to the disciples by the Sea of Tiberias, and he revealed himself in this way.
\n2 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Simon Peter, Thomas (called the Twin), Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together.
\n3 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Simon Peter said to them, \u201cI am going fishing.\u201d They said to him, \u201cWe will go with you.\u201d They went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.
\n4 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Just as day was breaking, Jesus stood on the shore; yet the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
\n5 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Jesus said to them, \u201cChildren, do you have any fish?\u201d<\/span> They answered him, \u201cNo.\u201d
\n6 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0He said to them, \u201cCast the net on the right side of the boat, and you will find some.\u201d<\/span> So they cast it, and now they were not able to haul it in, because of the quantity of fish.
\n7 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0That disciple whom Jesus loved therefore said to Peter, \u201cIt is the Lord!\u201d When Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put on his outer garment, for he was stripped for work, and threw himself into the sea.
\n8 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0The other disciples came in the boat, dragging the net full of fish, for they were not far from the land, but about a hundred yards off.
\n9 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0When they got out on land, they saw a charcoal fire in place, with fish laid out on it, and bread.
\n10 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Jesus said to them, \u201cBring some of the fish that you have just caught.\u201d<\/span>
\n11 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net ashore, full of large fish, 153 of them. And although there were so many, the net was not torn.
\n12 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Jesus said to them, \u201cCome and have breakfast.\u201d<\/span> Now none of the disciples dared ask him, \u201cWho are you?\u201d They knew it was the Lord.
\n13 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and so with the fish.
\n14 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0This was now the third time that Jesus was revealed to the disciples after he was raised from the dead. <\/span><\/p>\n

Acts 10:39-41 (ESV) <\/b>
\n39 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And we are witnesses of all that he did both in the country of the Jews and in Jerusalem. They put him to death by hanging him on a tree,
\n40 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0but God raised him on the third day and made him to appear,
\n41 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0not to all the people but to us who had been chosen by God as witnesses, who ate and drank with him after he rose from the dead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CONFIRMED<\/strong><\/h3>\n

John 21:15-19 (ESV) <\/b>
\n15 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, \u201cSimon, son of John, do you love me more than these?\u201d<\/span> He said to him, \u201cYes, Lord; you know that I love you.\u201d He said to him, \u201cFeed my lambs.\u201d<\/span>
\n16 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0He said to him a second time, \u201cSimon, son of John, do you love me?\u201d<\/span> He said to him, \u201cYes, Lord; you know that I love you.\u201d He said to him, \u201cTend my sheep.\u201d<\/span>
\n17 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0He said to him the third time, \u201cSimon, son of John, do you love me?\u201d<\/span> Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, \u201cDo you love me?\u201d<\/span> and he said to him, \u201cLord, you know everything; you know that I love you.\u201d Jesus said to him, \u201cFeed my sheep.<\/span>
\n18 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were young, you used to dress yourself and walk wherever you wanted, but when you are old, you will stretch out your hands, and another will dress you and carry you where you do not want to go.\u201d<\/span>
\n19 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0(This he said to show by what kind of death he was to glorify God.) And after saying this he said to him, \u201cFollow me.\u201d<\/span> <\/span><\/p>\n

John 6:37-40 (ESV) <\/b>
\n37 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.<\/span>
\n38 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.<\/span>
\n39 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.<\/span>
\n40 <\/span><\/sup>\u00a0For this is the will of my Father, that everyone who looks on the Son and believes in him should have eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
