    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.

    15Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

    16Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

    17Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

    18Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

    19¶ Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

    20And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

    21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
