1 eMatt. 28:1; Mark 16:1, 2; Luke 24:1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw thatfMatt. 27:60, 66; 28:2; Mark 15:46; 16:3, 4; Luke 24:2 the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple,gSee ch. 13:23 the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, andhver. 13 we do not know where they have laid him. ” 3 iLuke 24:12 So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. 4 Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he sawjch. 19:40 the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 andkch. 11:44 the face cloth, which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple,lver. 4 who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9 for as yetmMatt. 22:29 they did not understand the Scripture,nPs. 16:10; Luke 24:46; Acts 2:25-31; 13:34, 35; 17:3; 1 Cor. 15:4 that he must rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went back to their homes.
11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 Ando[Mark 16:5] she sawpLuke 24:4 two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her,qver. 15; [ch. 2:4] “Woman, why are you weeping? ” She said to them,rver. 2 “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him. ” 14 Having said this, she turned around andsMark 16:9; [Matt. 28:9] saw Jesus standing,tch. 21:4; Luke 24:16, 31 but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, uver. 13 “Woman, why are you weeping?vch. 1:38; 18:4, 7 Whom are you seeking? ” Supposing him to bew[ch. 19:41] the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away. ” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary. ” She turned and said to him in Aramaic,1Or HebrewxSee ch. 1:38 “Rabboni! ” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go toySee Matt. 28:10 my brothers and say to them,z[Mark 16:19]; See ch. 14:12 ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, toaMatt. 27:46; Eph. 1:17; Rev. 3:2, 12; [1 Cor. 3:23] my God and your God. ’ ” 18 Mary MagdalenebMark 16:10; [Matt. 28:10; Luke 24:10, 22, 23] went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord ” —and that he had said these things to her.
19 c1 Cor. 15:5; [ver. 26] On the eveningdLuke 24:33, 36 of that day, the first day of the week,ever. 26 the doors being locked where the disciples werefSee ch. 7:13 for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, gSee ch. 14:27 “Peace be with you. ” 20 When he had said this,hLuke 24:40 he showed them his hands and his side. Thenich. 16:22 the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. Asjch. 17:18; See ch. 3:17 the Father has sent me,kch. 13:20; See Acts 1:2 even so I am sending you. ” 22 And when he had said this, helGen. 2:7 breathed on them and said to them, m[Acts 2:4]; See ch. 7:39 “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 n[Matt. 16:19; 18:18; 1 Cor. 5:4, 5] If you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld. ”
24 NowoSee ch. 11:16 Thomas, one of the Twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord. ” But he said to them,pver. 20; [Ps. 22:16] “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe. ”
26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them.qver. 19 Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, qver. 19 “Peace be with you. ” 27 Then he said to Thomas, rver. 20; 1 John 1:1; [Luke 24:39] “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe. ” 28 Thomas answered him,s[ch. 1:1, 49] “My Lord and my God! ” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me?t1 Pet. 1:8; [2 Cor. 5:7] Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed. ”
