John 20:1-20The Empty Tomb20 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 Jesus loved, and said, \u201cThey have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don\u2019t know where they have put him!\u201d3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus\u2019 head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus\u2019 body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.13 They asked her, \u201cWoman, why are you crying?\u201d\u201cThey have taken my Lord away,\u201d she said, \u201cand I don\u2019t know where they have put him.\u201d 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.15 He asked her, \u201cWoman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?\u201dThinking he was the gardener, she said, \u201cSir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.\u201d16 Jesus said to her, \u201cMary.\u201dShe turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, \u201cRabboni!\u201d (which means \u201cTeacher\u201d).17 Jesus said, \u201cDo not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, \u2018I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.\u2019\u201d18 Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: \u201cI have seen the Lord!\u201d And she told them that he had said these things to her.Jesus Appears to His Disciples19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus came and stood among them and said, \u201cPeace be with you!\u201d 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
