“How is it possible,” retorted others, “for a bad man to give signs like this?”

So there was a difference of opinion among them, and they again questioned the man. “What do you yourself say about him, for it is to you that he has given sight?”

From Caiaphas they took Jesus to the Government house. It was early in the morning. But they did not enter the Government house themselves, otherwise they might become defiled, and so be unable to eat the Passover.

On the first day of the week, early in the morning, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala went to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been removed.

So she came running to Simon Peter, and to that other disciple who was Jesus’ friend, and said to them, “They have taken away the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!”

\w So|strong="G3767"\w* \w she|strong="G2532"\w* \w came|strong="G2064"\w* \w running|strong="G5143"\w* \w to|strong="G4314"\w* \w Simon|strong="G4613"\w* \w Peter|strong="G4074"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w to|strong="G4314"\w* \w that|strong="G3739"\w* \w other|strong="G3739"\w* \w disciple|strong="G3101"\w* \w who|strong="G3739"\w* \w was|strong="G3588"\w* \w Jesus’|strong="G2424"\w* \w friend|strong="H7453"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w said|strong="G3004"\w* \w to|strong="G4314"\w* \w them|strong="G3588"\w*, “\w They|strong="G2532"\w* \w have|strong="G2532"\w* \w taken|strong="H3947"\w* \w away|strong="G5087"\w* \w the|strong="G2532"\w* \w Master|strong="G2962"\w* \w out|strong="G1537"\w* \w of|strong="G1537"\w* \w the|strong="G2532"\w* \w tomb|strong="G3419"\w*, \w and|strong="G2532"\w* \w we|strong="G3739"\w* \w do|strong="G1492"\w* \w not|strong="G3756"\w* \w know|strong="G1492"\w* \w where|strong="G4226"\w* \w they|strong="G2532"\w* \w have|strong="G2532"\w* \w laid|strong="G5087"\w* \w him|strong="G3588"\w*!” 

So, Peter started off with that other disciple, and they went to the tomb.

Stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying there, but did not go in.

Presently Simon Peter came following behind him, and went into the tomb; and he looked at the linen wrappings lying there,

and the cloth which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the wrappings, but rolled up on one side, separately.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went inside too, and he saw for himself and was convinced.

For they did not then understand the passage of scripture which says that Jesus must rise again from the dead.

Meanwhile Mary was standing close outside the tomb, weeping. Still weeping, she leant forward into the tomb,

“Why are you weeping?” asked the angels. “They have taken my Master away,” she answered, “and I do not know where they have laid him.”
