Resurrection of Jesus

Early on the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala arrived at the tomb before sunrise and saw that the stone covering the entrance had been rolled away.

So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them:

“They have taken the LORD from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.”

So Peter and the other disciple then went out and came to the tomb.

They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and got there first.

He leaned down and saw the linen cloths lying flat, but he did not go inside.

Then Simon Peter arrived after; he went into the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.

The cloth, which had been around his head, was not lying flat like the other linen cloths but lay rolled up in its place.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in; he saw and believed.

Scripture clearly said that Jesus must rise from the dead, but they had not yet understood that.
