The Resurrection of Jesus
Early on the first day of the
week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the
stone had been removed from the tomb. So she
ran and went to Simon Peter and 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.’ Then
Peter and the other disciple set out and went towards the tomb. The two were running together,
but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent down to look in and saw
the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came,
following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, and the cloth that had been on
Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings 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
understand the scripture, that he must rise from the
dead. Then the disciples
returned to their homes.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
But Mary stood weeping
outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look
into the tomb; and she saw two angels in
white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the
other at the feet. They said to her, ‘Woman,
why are you weeping?’ She said to them, ‘They have taken away my Lord, and I do
not know where they have laid him.’ When she
had said this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not
know that it was Jesus. Jesus
said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? For whom are you looking?’ 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 in Hebrew, ‘Rabbouni!’ (Which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, ‘Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet
ascended to the 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.” ’
Mary Magdalene went and
announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord’; and she told them that he
had said these things to her.
