¹Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came early, while it was yet dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

²She ran therefore, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don`t know where they have laid him!"

³Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

⁴They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first.

⁵Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn`t enter in.

⁶Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,

⁷and the cloth that was on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁸Then the other disciple also entered in therefore, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.

⁹For as yet they didn`t know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

¹⁰So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

¹¹But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

¹²and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹³They told her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don`t know where they have laid him."

¹⁴When she had said this, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and didn`t know that it was Jesus.

¹⁵Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?" She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."

¹⁶Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned herself, and said to him, "Rhabbouni!" which is to say, "Teacher!"

¹⁷Jesus said to her, "Don`t touch me, for I haven`t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers, and tell them, `I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.`"

¹⁸Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
