20 And on the first [day] of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.

She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb.

And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in.

Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying,

and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by itself.

Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed;

for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among [the] dead.

Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,(J) also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture(K) that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)(L)
