John 20:1-15 ▼

1 Now on the first day of the sabbaths Mary Magdelene comes early in the morning while it was yet dark to the tomb, and sees the stone taken out of the tomb.

2 She runs, therefore, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, "They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they laid Him!"

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

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

5 and, having stooped to look within , he beholds the linen cloths lying; yet he went not within.

6 Simon Peter, therefore, also comes, following him, and he went into the tomb; and beholds the linen cloths lying,

7 and the napkin that was on His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

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

9 for as yet they knew not the Scripture, that He must rise from the dead.

10 The disciples, therefore, went away again to their own home.

11 But Mary was standing without by the tomb, weeping. So, as she was weeping, she stooped to look into the tomb;

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

13 And they say to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She says to them, "Because they took away my Lord, and I know not where they laid Him!"

14 Having said these things, she turned back, and beholds Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus saith to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, says to Him, "Sir, if thou didst bear Him away, tell me where thou didst lay Him, and I will take Him away!"
