John 20:1–9

The Empty Tomb

^1aNow on the first day of the week ^bMary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw ^cthe stone already taken away from the tomb.

²So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other ^adisciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “^bThey have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.”

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

⁴The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;

⁵and ^astooping and looking in, he saw the ^blinen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.

⁶And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there,

⁷and ^athe face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the ^blinen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁸So the other disciple who ^ahad first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.

⁹For as yet ^athey did not understand the Scripture, ^bthat He must rise again from the dead.
