1.

THE RESSURECTION OF JESUS

SCENARIO
24 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.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb, 3 but when
they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 While
they were wondering about this, suddenly two men in clothes
that gleamed like lightning stood beside them. 5 In 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? 6
He is not here; he has risen! Remember how he told you, while he
was still with you in Galilee: 7 ‘The Son of Man must be delivered
over to the hands of sinners, be crucified and on the third day be
raised again.’ ” 8 Then they remembered his words.

9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things
to the Eleven and to all the others. 10 It was Mary Magdalene,
Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who
told this to the apostles. 11 But they did not believe the women,
because their words seemed to them like nonsense. 12 Peter,
however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the
strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering
to himself what had happened.
2. THE WEDDING AT CANA
SCENARIO
2 On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus’
mother was there, 2 and Jesus and his disciples had also been
invited to the wedding. 3 When the wine was gone, Jesus’ mother
said to him, “They have no more wine.”

4 “Woman,[a] why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour

has not yet come.”

5 His mother said to the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”

6 Nearby stood six stone water jars, the kind used by the Jews for
ceremonial washing, each holding from twenty to thirty gallons.
[b]

7 Jesus said to the servants, “Fill the jars with water”; so they
filled them to the brim.

8 Then he told them, “Now draw some out and take it to the
master of the banquet.”

They did so, 9 and the master of the banquet tasted the water
that had been turned into wine. He did not realize where it had
come from, though the servants who had drawn the water knew.
Then he called the bridegroom aside 10 and said, “Everyone
brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after
the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the
best till now.”
 11 What Jesus did here in Cana of Galilee was the first of the signs
through which he revealed his glory; and his disciples believed in
him

3. THE FALL OF MAN

3 Now the serpente was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God
had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any
tree in the garden’?f”
2 The woman said to the serpent, “We may eat fruit from the trees in the
garden,g 3 but God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the
middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die.’ ”h
4 “You will not certainly die,” the serpent said to the woman.i 5 “For God knows
that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like
God,j knowing good and evil.”
6 When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing
to the eye, and also desirablek for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She
also gave some to her husband,l who was with her, and he ate it.m 7 Then the
eyes of both of them were opened, and they realized they were naked;n so they
sewed fig leaves together and made coverings for themselves.o
8 Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was
walkingp in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hidq from the Lord God
among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man, “Where are
you?”r
10 He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraids because I was
naked;t so I hid.”
11 And he said, “Who told you that you were naked?u Have you eaten from the
tree that I commanded you not to eat from?v”
12 The man said, “The woman you put here with mew—she gave me some fruit
from the tree, and I ate it.”
13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
The woman said, “The serpent deceived me,x and I ate.”
14 So the Lord God said to the serpent, “Because you have done this,
“Cursedy are you above all livestock
and all wild animals!
You will crawl on your belly
and you will eat dustz
all the days of your life.
15 And I will put enmity
between you and the woman,
and between your offspringa a and hers;b
he will crushb your head,c
and you will strike his heel.”
16 To the woman he said,
“I will make your pains in childbearing very severe;
with painful labor you will give birth to children.d
Your desire will be for your husband,
and he will rule over you.e”
17 To Adam he said, “Because you listened to your wife and ate fruit from the
tree about which I commanded you, ‘You must not eat from it,’f
“Cursedg is the groundh because of you;
through painful toili you will eat food from it
all the days of your life.j
18 It will produce thorns and thistlesk for you,
and you will eat the plants of the field.l
19 By the sweat of your browm
you will eat your foodn
until you return to the ground,
since from it you were taken;
for dust you are
and to dust you will return.”o
20 Adamc named his wife Eve,d p because she would become the mother of all
the living.
21 The Lord God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife and clothed
them.q 22 And the Lord God said, “The man has now become like one of
us,r knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and
take also from the tree of lifes and eat, and live forever.” 23 So the Lord God
banished him from the Garden of Edent to work the groundu from which he had
been taken. 24 After he drove the man out, he placed on the east sidee of the
Garden of Edenv cherubimw and a flaming swordx flashing back and forth to guard
the way to the tree of life.y
4. THE WOMAN CAUGHT IN THE ACT OF ADULTERY

1 but Jesus went to the Mount of Olives.

2 At dawn he appeared again in the temple courts, where all the people
gathered around him, and he sat down to teach them. 3 The teachers of
the law and the Pharisees brought in a woman caught in adultery. They
made her stand before the group 4 and said to Jesus, “Teacher, this woman
was caught in the act of adultery. 5 In the Law Moses commanded us to
stone such women. Now what do you say?” 6 They were using this question
as a trap, in order to have a basis for accusing him.

But Jesus bent down and started to write on the ground with his finger. 7
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them,
“Let any one of you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at her.”
8 Again he stooped down and wrote on the ground.

9 At this, those who heard began to go away one at a time, the older ones
first, until only Jesus was left, with the woman still standing there. 10 Jesus
straightened up and asked her, “Woman, where are they? Has no one
condemned you?”

11 “No one, sir,” she said.

“Then neither do I condemn you,” Jesus declared. “Go now and leave your
life of sin.”
