42 Therefore because of the Jewish day of (A)preparation, since the tomb was (B)nearby, they laid Jesus there.

The Empty Tomb

20 (C)Now on the first day of the week (D)Mary Magdalene *came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and *saw (E)the stone already removed from the tomb. So she *ran and *came to Simon Peter and to the other (F)disciple whom Jesus loved, and *said to them, “(G)They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him.” (H)So Peter and the other disciple left, and they were going to the tomb. The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first; and he (I)stooped to look in, and *saw the (J)linen wrappings lying there; however he did not go in. So Simon Peter also *came, following him, and he entered the tomb; and he *looked at the linen wrappings lying there, and (K)the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the (L)linen wrappings but folded up in a place by itself. So the other disciple who (M)had first come to the tomb also entered then, and he saw and believed. For (N)they did not yet understand the Scripture, (O)that He must rise from the dead. 10 So the disciples went away again (P)to their own homes.

11 (Q)But Mary was standing outside the tomb, weeping; so as she wept, she (R)stooped to look into the tomb; 12 and she *saw (S)two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying. 13 And they *said to her, “(T)Woman, why are you weeping?” She *said to them, “Because (U)they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they put Him.” 14 When she had said this, she turned around and *(V)saw Jesus standing there, and yet she (W)did not know that it was Jesus.
