Acts 10:38–41

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
And we are witnesses of all things which he did both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerusalem; whom they slew and hanged on a tree:
Him God raised up the third day, and shewed him openly;
Not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him after he rose from the dead.

    1THE first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

    2Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

    3Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

    4So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

    5And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

    6Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

    7And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

    8Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

    9For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

    10Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

    11¶ But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

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

    13And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

    14And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
