The Resurrection

1 ¹Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that ²the stone had been taken away from the tomb.

2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, ³the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and ⁴we do not know where they have laid him."

3 ⁵So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb.

5 And stooping to look in, he saw ⁶the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there,

7 and ⁷the face cloth, which had been on Jesus'^[a] head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself.

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