1 ^eNow on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that ^fthe stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, ^gthe one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and ^hwe do not know where they have laid him.” 3 ⁱSo Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. 4 Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he saw ^jthe linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and ^kthe face cloth, which had been on Jesus’¹ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, ^lwho had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9 for as yet ^mthey did not understand the Scripture, ⁿthat he must rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went back to their homes.

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And ^oshe saw ^ptwo angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, ^q“Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, ^r“They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and ^ssaw Jesus standing, ^tbut she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, ^u“Woman, why are you weeping? ^vWhom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be ^wthe 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.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic,^{2 x}“Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to ^ymy brothers and say to them, ^z‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to ^amy God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene ^bwent and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.
