John 20:1–11

The Empty Tomb

20On ^mthe first day of the week ⁿMary Magdalene ^ocame to the tomb ^pearly, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone ^qhad been removed ^rfrom the tomb. ²So she ran to Simon Peter ^sand to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, ^tand we don’t know where they have put Him!”

³At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb. ⁴The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first. ⁵Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths ^ulying there, yet he did not go in. ⁶Then, following him, Simon Peter came also. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there. ⁷The wrapping ^vthat had been on His head was not lying with the linen cloths ^wbut was folded up in a separate place by itself. ⁸The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then entered the tomb, saw, and believed. ⁹For they still did not understand the Scripture ^xthat He must rise ^yfrom the dead. ^z10Then the disciples went home again.

Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord

¹¹But ^aMary stood outside facing the tomb, ^bcrying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.
