The Empty Tomb
1 On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed[a] from the tomb.
2
So she ran to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put Him!"
3
At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb.
4
The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.
5
Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, yet he did not go in.
6
Then, following him, Simon Peter came also. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.
7
The wrapping that had been on His head was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a separate place by itself.
8
The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then entered the tomb, saw, and believed.
