John 19:38-20:10

New American Standard Bible

³⁸ Now ^(A)after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a ^(B)secret one for ^(C)fear of the ^[a]Jews, requested of Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. ^39 (D)Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, ^(E)bringing a ^[b]mixture of ^(F)myrrh and aloes, about a ^[c](G)hundred litras weight. ⁴⁰ So they took the body of Jesus and ^(H)bound it in ^(I)linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. ⁴¹ Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden was a ^(J)new tomb ^(K)in which no one had yet been laid. ⁴² Therefore because of the Jewish day of ^(L)preparation, since the tomb was ^(M)nearby, they laid Jesus there.

The Empty Tomb

20 ^(N)Now on the first day of the week ^(O)Mary Magdalene *came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and *saw ^(P)the stone already removed from the tomb. ² So she *ran and *came to Simon Peter and to the other ^(Q)disciple whom Jesus loved, and *said to them, “^(R)They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him.” ^3 (S)So Peter and the other disciple left, and they were going to the tomb. ⁴ The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first; ⁵ and he ^(T)stooped to look in, and *saw the ^(U)linen wrappings lying there; however he did not go in. ⁶ So Simon Peter also *came, following him, and he entered the tomb; and he *looked at the linen wrappings lying there, ⁷ and ^(V)the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the ^(W)linen wrappings but folded up in a place by itself. ⁸ So the other disciple who ^(X)had first come to the tomb also entered then, and he saw and believed. ⁹ For ^(Y)they did not yet understand the Scripture, ^(Z)that He must rise from the dead. ¹⁰ So the disciples went away again ^(AA)to their own homes.
