¹Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
²So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him".

¹²But Peter arose ³Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

and ran to the tomb; ⁴They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first;

and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying by themselves; ⁵and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

⁶Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying,
⁷and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself.
⁸Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed;
⁹for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened. ¹⁰Then the disciples went back to their homes.
