    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.

    1IN the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.

    2And, behold, there was a great earthquake: for the angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled back the stone from the door, and sat upon it.

    3His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:

    4And for fear of him the keepers did shake, and became as dead men.

    5And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified.

    6He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.

    7And go quickly, and tell his disciples that he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him: lo, I have told you.

    8And they departed quickly from the sepulchre with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.

    9¶ And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.

    10Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.
