1 Corinthians 15

3 I passed on to you what I myself had also received, a message of vital importance: that Christ died for our sins, according to Scripture; 4 he was buried and was raised from the dead on the third day, again in accordance with Scripture. 5 He appeared to Peter, then to the Twelve. 6 After that he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still alive today, though some have died.
