John 20:1-9

1 Early on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb while it was still dark. When she saw that the large stone had been moved away from the tomb,
2 she ran to Simon Peter and the follower whom Jesus loved. Mary said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him."
3 So Peter and the other follower started for the tomb.
4 They were both running, but the other follower ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first.
5 He bent down and looked in and saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, but he did not go in.
6 Then following him, Simon Peter arrived and went into the tomb and saw the strips of linen lying there.
7 He also saw the cloth that had been around Jesus' head, which was folded up and laid in a different place from the strips of linen.
8 Then the other follower, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. He saw and believed.
9 (They did not yet understand from the Scriptures that Jesus must rise from the dead.)
