Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene
came to the tomb early, while it was still dark,
and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple,
whom Jesus loved, and said to them,
"They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,
and we do not know where they have laid him."
Peter then came out with the other disciple,
and they went toward the tomb. They both ran,
but the other disciple outran Peter
and reached the tomb first;
and stooping to look in, he saw 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,
and the napkin which had been on his head,
not lying with the linen cloths
but rolled up in a place by itself.
Then the other disciple,
who reached the tomb first also went in,
and he saw and believed; for as yet
they did not know the scripture, that He must rise
from the dead.
Then the disciples went back to their homes.
But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept
she stooped to look into the tomb
and she saw two angels in white,
sitting where the body of Jesus
had lain, one at the head and one
at the feet. They said to her,
"Woman, why are you weeping?"
She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord,
and I do not know where they have laid him."
Saying this,
she turned round and saw Jesus standing,
but she did not know that it was Jesus.
Jesus said to her,
"Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?"
Supposing him to be 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."
Jesus said to her,
"Mary."
She turned and said to Him,
"Rabboni!"
which means Teacher.
Jesus said to her,
"Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father;
but go to my brothers
and say to them, I am ascending to my Father
and your Father, to my God
and your God."
