John 20:1-15 ▼

1 And early on the first day of the week, while it was yet dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them: They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

3 Then Peter and the other disciple went out, and came to the tomb.

4 And the two ran together; and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;

5 and he stooped down and saw the linen cloths lying, but he did not go in.

6 Then came Simon Peter, following him; and he went into the tomb, and saw the linen cloths lying,

7 and the handkerchief that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded in a place by itself.

8 Then, therefore, the other disciple, who came first to the tomb, went in, and saw, and believed.

9 For, as yet, they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

10 Then the disciples went away again by themselves.

11 But Mary stood without near the tomb, weeping; and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb,

12 and saw two angels in white raiment, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the foot, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13 And they said to her: Woman, why do you weep? She said to them: They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14 Having said this, she turned back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her: "Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? Supposing that it was the gardener, she said to him: Sir, if you have taken him hence, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.
