¹ On 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.² She 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.”

³ Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.⁴ They ran side by side, until the other disciple ran faster than Peter and got there first.⁵ He bent over and saw the strips of linen cloth lying inside the tomb, but he did not go in.

⁶ When Simon Peter got there, he went into the tomb and saw the strips of cloth.⁷ He also saw the piece of cloth that had been used to cover Jesus' face. It was rolled up and in a place by itself.⁸ The disciple who got there first then went into the tomb, and when he saw it, he believed.⁹ At that time Peter and the other disciple did not know that the Scriptures said Jesus would rise to life.
