⁶⁰ and ^(A)laid it in his own new tomb, ^(B)which he had cut in the rock. And he rolled ^(C)a great stone to the entrance of the tomb and went away. ⁶¹ Mary Magdalene and ^(D)the other Mary were there, sitting opposite the tomb.

The Resurrection

28 ^(A)Now after the Sabbath, toward the dawn of the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and ^(B)the other Mary went to see the tomb. ² And behold, there was a great earthquake, for ^(C)an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled back the stone and sat on it. ^3 (D)His appearance was like lightning, and ^(E)his clothing white as snow. ⁴ And for fear of him the guards trembled and ^(F)became like dead men. ⁵ But the angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. ⁶ He is not here, for he has risen, ^(G)as he said. Come, see the place where he^[a] lay. ⁷ Then go quickly and tell his disciples that he has risen from the dead, and behold, ^(H)he is going before you to Galilee; there you will see him. See, I have told you.” ⁸ So they departed quickly from the tomb ^(I)with fear and great joy, and ran to tell his disciples.

⁴⁶ And Joseph^[a] bought ^(A)a linen shroud, and taking him down, wrapped him in the linen shroud and ^(B)laid him in a tomb ^(C)that had been cut out of the rock. And he rolled ^(D)a stone against the entrance of the tomb. ^47 (E)Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid.

The Resurrection

16 ^(F)(G)When the Sabbath was past, ^(H)Mary Magdalene, ^(I)Mary the mother of James, and ^(J)Salome ^(K)bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him. ² And very early on the first day of the week, when the sun had risen, they went to the tomb. ³ And they were saying to one another, “Who will roll away ^(L)the stone for us from the entrance of the tomb?” ⁴ And looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled back—^(M)it was very large. ⁵ And ^(N)entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, ^(O)dressed in ^(P)a white robe, and ^(Q)they were alarmed. ⁶ And he said to them, ^(R)“Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He has risen; he is not here. See the place where they laid him. ⁷ But go, tell his disciples and Peter that ^(S)he is going before you to Galilee. There you will see him, ^(T)just as he told you.” ⁸ And they went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had seized them, and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Jesus Is Buried

^50 (A)Now there was a man named Joseph, from the Jewish town of Arimathea. He was a member of the council, a good and righteous man, ⁵¹ who had not consented to their decision and action; and he ^(B)was looking for the kingdom of God. ⁵² This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. ⁵³ Then he took it down and wrapped it in a linen shroud and ^(C)laid him in a tomb cut in stone, ^(D)where no one had ever yet been laid. ⁵⁴ It was the day of ^(E)Preparation, and the Sabbath was beginning.^{[a] 55 (F)}The women ^(G)who had come with him from Galilee followed and saw the tomb and how his body was laid. ⁵⁶ Then they returned and ^(H)prepared spices and ointments.

On the Sabbath they rested ^(I)according to the commandment.

The Resurrection

24 ^(J)But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they went to the tomb, ^(K)taking the spices they had prepared. ² And they found ^(L)the stone rolled away from the tomb, ³ but when they went in they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. ⁴ While they were perplexed about this, behold, ^(M)two ^(N)men stood by them in dazzling apparel. ⁵ And as they were ^(O)frightened and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? ⁶ He is not here, but has risen. Remember how he told you, ^(P)while he was still in Galilee, ^7 (Q)that the Son of Man ^(R)must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and ^(S)be crucified and on ^(T)the third day rise.” ⁸ And ^(U)they remembered his words, ⁹ and returning from the tomb they ^(V)told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest. ¹⁰ Now it was ^(W)Mary Magdalene and ^(X)Joanna and Mary the mother of James and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles, ¹¹ but these words seemed to them an idle tale, and ^(Y)they did not believe them. ¹² But ^(Z)Peter rose and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw ^(AA)the linen cloths by themselves; and he went home marveling at what had happened.

Jesus Is Buried

^38 (A)After these things Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly ^(B)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 (C)Nicodemus also, who earlier had come to Jesus^[a] by night, came ^(D)bringing a mixture of ^(E)myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds^[b] in weight. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus and ^(F)bound it in ^(G)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 ^(H)garden, and ^(I)in the garden a new tomb ^(J)in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴² So because of the Jewish ^(K)day of Preparation, ^(L)since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

The Resurrection

20 ^(M)Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that ^(N)the stone had been taken away from the tomb. ² So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, ^(O)the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and ^(P)we do not know where they have laid him.” ^3 (Q)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 ^(R)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 ^(S)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, ^(T)who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; ⁹ for as yet ^(U)they did not understand the Scripture, ^(V)that he must rise from the dead. ¹⁰ Then the disciples went back to their homes.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

¹¹ But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. ¹² And ^(W)she saw ^(X)two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. ¹³ They said to her, ^(Y)“Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, ^(Z)“They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” ¹⁴ Having said this, she turned around and ^(AA)saw Jesus standing, ^(AB)but she did not know that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus said to her, ^(AC)“Woman, why are you weeping? ^(AD)Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be ^(AE)the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” ¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic,^{[d] (AF)}“Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). ¹⁷ Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to ^(AG)my brothers and say to them, ^(AH)‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to ^(AI)my God and your God.’” ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene ^(AJ)went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.
