John 20:1-9

Chapter 20
1 On the first of the Sabbaths, Mary Magdalene comes early, while it is still dark, to the tomb, and sees the stone having been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she runs and comes to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, “They took the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they put him.” 3 So Peter went out, along with the other disciple, and they were going to the tomb. 4 Now the two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping down, he sees the linen cloths lying there, but he did not enter. 6 So Simon Peter also comes following him and enters the tomb. And he sees the linen cloths lying there. 7 and the face cloth, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but wrapped up separately in one place. 8 Then the other disciple, the one who had come first to the tomb, entered and saw and believed. 9 For they did not yet know the Scripture, that he had to rise from the dead.
