The Resurrection

20 On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and she saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one 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.” 3 So Peter went out, along with the other disciple, and they began making their way to the tomb. 4 The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 Stooping down to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter, who had been following him, [fn]arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there 7 and the facecloth that had been on Jesus' head. But it was not lying with the linen cloths; it was folded up separately in another place. 8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. He saw and believed. 9 (For they did not yet understand the Scripture that Jesus must rise from the dead.) 10 Then the disciples went back to their homes.
