John 20:1-10
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
On The First Day of the Week, Jesus Is Not Found In The Tomb
20 Now on the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene goes to the tomb early-in-the-morning— there still being darkness— and sees the stone having been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she runs and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple[a] whom Jesus was loving. And she says to them, “They took the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they put Him”. 3 So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and were going to the tomb. 4 And the two were running together. And the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first. 5 And having stooped-to-look, he sees the linen-cloths lying there, but he did not enter. 6 Then Simon Peter also comes, following him. And he entered into the tomb. And he sees the linen-cloths lying there, 7 and the face-cloth which was on His head— not lying with the linen-cloths, but apart-from them, having been wrapped-up[b] in one place. 8 So at that time the other disciple also entered— the one having come to the tomb first— and saw and believed[c]. 9 For they did not yet understand the Scripture— that He must rise-up from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went away again to them[d].
