John 20:1

The Empty Tomb

1 Now on the ^afirst day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the ^bstone had been taken away from the tomb.

2 Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the ^aother disciple, ^bwhom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.”

3 ^aPeter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb.

4 So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.

5 And he, stooping down and looking in, saw ^athe linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in.

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

7 and ^athe handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself.

8 Then the ^aother disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed.

9 For as yet they did not¹ know the ^aScripture, that He must rise again from the dead.
