What would be a good verse from the Bible to use for Easter that Jesus actually said?

Question

Jesus said . . .

Answer 1

The Bible was written WAY after the death of Jesus. There is NO WAY that all those little red words are actual quotes. Be real!

Answer 2

Mark 16:1-8
When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body. Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb and they asked each other, "Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?"

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

"Don't be alarmed," he said. "You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. But go, tell his disciples and Peter, 'He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.' "

Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid. (NIV)

I couldn't find any good ones with Jesus talking, but here's one about the ressurection.

Answer 3

While Jesus Himself did not use the word Easter, or discuss it directly, he did reference His death and resurrection. Just a few examples of this are as follows:

MATTHEW 20:17-19
And Jesus going up to Jerusalem took the twelve disciples apart in the way, and said unto them, "Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again"

MATTHEW 26:32
But after I am risen again, I will go before you into Galilee

MARK 10:33-34
Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be delivered unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and they shall condemn him to death, and shall deliver him to the Gentiles: and they shall mock him, and shall scourge him, and shall spit upon him, and shall kill him: and the third day he shall rise again

----------------------
There are several other references found in the gospels. The only time the word Easter appears in the Bible:

ACTS 12:4
And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people.

Hope that helps!

Answer 4

Mark 7:8
You have let go of the commands of God and are holding on to the traditions of men."

Oops! Sorry! lol

I couldn't help it. I hate Easter. It's such a pagan ritual.
