John 20:1-15 ▼

1 And on the first [day] of the weeks, Mary the Magdalene comes early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she sees the stone having been taken away out of the tomb;

2 she runs, therefore, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus was cherishing, and says to them, “They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid Him.”

3 Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,

4 and the two were running together, and the other disciple ran forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

5 and having stooped down, sees the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he did not enter.

6 Simon Peter, therefore, comes, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholds the linen clothes lying [there],

7 and the napkin that was on His head not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place;

8 then, therefore, the other disciple who came first to the tomb entered also, and he saw and believed;

9 for they did not yet know the Writing, that it was necessary for Him to rise again out of the dead.

10 The disciples therefore went away again to their own friends,

11 and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping outside; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down into the tomb, and beholds two messengers in white, sitting,

12 one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.

13 And they say to her, “Woman, why do you weep?” She says to them, “Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid Him”;

14 and having said these things, she turned backward, and sees Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus.

15 Jesus says to her, “Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?” She, supposing that He is the gardener, says to Him, “Lord, if You carried Him away, tell me where You laid Him, and I will take Him away”;
