John 19:42-20:14

New International Version

⁴² Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation^(A) and since the tomb was nearby,^(B) they laid Jesus there.

The Empty Tomb^(C)

20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene^(D) went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.^{(E) 2} So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved,^(F) and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”^(G)

³ So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.^{(H) 4} Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. ⁵ He bent over and looked in^(I) at the strips of linen^(J) lying there but did not go in. ⁶ Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, ⁷ as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head.^(K) The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. ⁸ Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,^(L) also went inside. He saw and believed. ⁹ (They still did not understand from Scripture^(M) that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)^{(N) 10} Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

¹¹ Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb^{(O) 12} and saw two angels in white,^(P) seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

¹³ They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”^(Q)

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”^{(R) 14} At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,^(S) but she did not realize that it was Jesus.^(T)
