John 20

Mary Magdalene Finds the Tomb Open

1Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from it. 2So she ran to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they put him.” 3Then Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb. 4The two were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first. 5He bent down and saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. 6Then Simon Peter came behind him and entered the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, 7and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up separately in one place. 8Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. He saw and believed. 9For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he must rise from the dead. 10Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
