The resurrection of Christ, who appears to Mary Magdalene and to all his disciples, to their great comfort.

20 The morrow after the Sabbath day, Mary Magdalene came early to the sepulchre when it was still dark, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb. Then she ran and went to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom 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.

Peter went out, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. They ran both together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the sepulchre. And he stooped down and saw the linen cloths lying there, but did not go in. Then came Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre and saw the linen cloths lying there, and the cloth that had been around his head not lying with the linen cloth, but wrapped together in a place by itself. Then that other disciple went in also, who had come first to the sepulchre; and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not know the scriptures, that he must rise again from death. 10 And the disciples went away again to their own homes.

The Empty Tomb(A)

20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene(B) went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.(C) So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved,(D) and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”(E)

So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.(F) Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in(G) at the strips of linen(H) lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head.(I) The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. 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) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
