John 20:1-15 ▼

1 And in one of the sabbaths comes Mary Magdalene in the morning, there yet being darkness, to the tomb, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.

2 Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They took away the Lord from the tomb; and we know not where they laid him.

3 Peter then came forth, and the other disciple, and they came to the tomb.

4 And they two ran together: and the other disciple ran before, swifter than Peter, and came first to the tomb.

5 And having stood stooping, he sees the linen bandages lying; yet he did not go in.

6 Then comes Simon Peter following him, and he came into the tomb, and sees the linen bandages lying,

7 And the napkin, which was upon his head, not lying with the linen bandages, but separately inwrapped in one place.

8 Then, therefore, went in also the other disciple, having first come to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.

9 For not yet knew they the writing, that he must rise from the dead.

10 Then went away the disciples again by themselves.

11 And Mary stood near the tomb weeping without: therefore as she wept, she stood stooping into the tomb,

12 And sees two messengers in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid.

13 And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? She says to them, Because they took away my Lord, and I know not where they laid him.

14 And having said these, she was turned back, and sees Jesus standing, and she knew not that it is Jesus.

15 Jesus says to her, Woman, why weepest thou a whom seekest thou? She, thinking that it is the gardener, says to him, Lord, if thou didst bear him away, say where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
