1On Sunday morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.
2She ran to Simon Peter and to Jesus' favorite disciple and said, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb! We don't know where they have put him.”
3Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.
4They ran side by side, until the other disciple ran faster than Peter and got there first.
5He bent over and saw the strips of linen cloth lying inside the tomb, but he did not go in.
6When Simon Peter got there, he went into the tomb and saw the strips of cloth.
7He also saw the piece of cloth that had been used to cover Jesus' face. It was rolled up and in a place by itself.
8The disciple who got there first then went into the tomb, and when he saw it, he believed.
9At that time Peter and the other disciple did not know that the Scriptures said Jesus would rise to life.
10So the two of them went back to the other disciples.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene(Mark 16.9-11)11Mary Magdalene stood crying outside the tomb. She was still weeping, when she stooped down
12and saw two angels inside. They were dressed in white and were sitting where Jesus' body had been. One was at the head and the other was at the foot.
13The angels asked Mary, “Why are you crying?”
She answered, “They have taken away my Lord's body! I don't know where they have put him.”
14As soon as Mary said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not know who he was.
15Jesus asked her, “Why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”
She thought he was the gardener and said, “Sir, if you have taken his body away, please tell me, so I can go and get him.”
16Then Jesus said to her, “Mary!”
She turned and said to him, “Rabboni.” The Aramaic word “Rabboni” means “Teacher.”
17Jesus told her, “Don't hold on to me! I have not yet gone to the Father. But tell my disciples I am going to the one who is my Father and my God, as well as your Father and your God.”
18Mary Magdalene then went and told the disciples she had seen the Lord. She also told them what he had said to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples(Matthew 28.16-20; Mark 16.14-18; Luke 24.36-49)19The disciples were afraid of the Jewish leaders, and on the evening of that same Sunday they locked themselves in a room. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in the middle of the group. He greeted them
20and showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they became very happy.
21After Jesus had greeted them again, he said, “I am sending you, just as the Father has sent me.”
22Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 for his disciples, and not all of them are written in this book.
31But these are written so that you will put your faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. If you have faith in him, you will have true life.
