John 19:31-20:10
English Standard Version
Jesus' Side Is Pierced
31 Since it was (A)the day of Preparation, and (B)so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was (C)a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away. 32 So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first, and of the other (D)who had been crucified with him. 33 But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out (E)blood and water. 35 (F)He who saw it has borne witness—(G)his testimony is true, and he knows that he is telling the truth—(H)that you also may believe. 36 (I)For these things took place that the Scripture might be fulfilled: (J)“Not one of his bones (K)will be broken.” 37 And again another Scripture says, (L)“They will look on him whom they have pierced.”
Jesus Is Buried
38 (M)After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly (N)for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus, and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away his body. 39 (O)Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus[a] by night, came (P)bringing a mixture of (Q)myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds[b] in weight. 40 So they took the body of Jesus and (R)bound it in (S)linen cloths with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41 Now in the place where he was crucified there was a (T)garden, and (U)in the garden a new tomb (V)in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish (W)day of Preparation, (X)since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
The Resurrection
20 (Y)Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that (Z)the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, (AA)the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and (AB)we do not know where they have laid him.” 3 (AC)So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. 4 Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he saw (AD)the 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 (AE)the face cloth, which had been on Jesus'[c] head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, (AF)who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9 for as yet (AG)they did not understand the Scripture, (AH)that he must rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went back to their homes.
