John 20:1-9 ▼

1 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.

2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, she said, “and we do not know where they have put Him!

3 Then Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb.

4 The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.

5 He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

6 Simon Peter arrived just after him. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.

7 The cloth that had been around Jesus’ head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths.

8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. And he saw and believed.

9 For they still did not understand from the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.
