The Resurrection

20 (A)Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that (B)the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, (C)the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and (D)we do not know where they have laid him.” (E)So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. And stooping to look in, he saw (F)the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, and (G)the face cloth, which had been on Jesus'[a] head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, (H)who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet (I)they did not understand the Scripture, (J)that he must rise from the dead.

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)

    or have you seen (B)the storehouses of the hail,
23 which I have reserved (C)for the time of trouble,
    (D)for the day of battle and war?
24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,

26 to bring rain on (F)a land where no man is,

    and to make the ground sprout with (H)grass?

28 “Has (I)the rain a father,
    or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 From whose womb did (J)the ice come forth,
    and who has given birth to (K)the frost of heaven?
30 The waters become hard like stone,
    and the face of the deep is (L)frozen.

31 “Can you bind the chains of (M)the Pleiades
    or loose the cords of (N)Orion?
32 Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth[a] in their season,

33 Do you know (P)the ordinances of the heavens?
    Can you establish their rule on the earth?

34 “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
    that (Q)a flood of waters may cover you?
35 Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
    and say to you, ‘Here we are’?
36 Who has (R)put wisdom in (S)the inward parts[b]
    or given understanding to the mind?[c]
37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
    Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
38 when the dust runs into a mass
    and (T)the clods stick fast together?

39 “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
    or (U)satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
40 when they crouch in their (V)dens
    or lie in wait (W)in their thicket?
41 Who provides for (X)the raven its prey,
    when its young ones cry to God for help,
    and wander about for lack of food?
