John 20:1-15 ▼

1 The first day of the week early in morning Mary Magdalene, when it was yet dusky, came to the sepulchre, and found the stone was taken away from the sepulchre.

2 upon this she went in great haste to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, they have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

3 Peter immediately departed, and that other disciple, to go to the sepulchre.

4 they both set out together: but the other disciple out-ran Peter, and came first to the cave,

5 where stooping down he saw the linen clothes lying; but did not go in.

6 Simon Peter who followed him, being come, went into the cave, and saw the linen clothes lying there;

7 as for the napkin that had been put about his head, it was not in the same place as the linen clothes, but lay folded up by it self.

8 then the other disciple, who arriv'd first, went into the cave likewise, and he saw, and believed what Mary had said.

9 for as yet they did not understand from the scripture, that he was to rise again from the dead.

10 After this the disciples return'd to their own home.

11 but Mary stood at the entrance of the cave weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down to look into the sepulchre,

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

13 and they said to her, woman, why do you weep? "because, said she, they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him."

14 having thus said, she turned about, and saw Jesus standing, but knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her, woman, why do you weep? who do you look for? she supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, sir, if it be you that have convey'd him away; tell me where you have laid him, and I will take care to have him remov'd.
