1. Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. She saw that the large stone was moved away from the entrance.
2. So she ran to Simon Peter and the other follower (the one Jesus loved very much). She said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.”
3. So Peter and the other follower started going to the tomb.
4. They were both running, but the other follower ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first.
5. He bent down and looked in. He saw the pieces of linen cloth lying there, but he did not go in.
6. Then Simon Peter finally reached the tomb and went in. He saw the pieces of linen lying there.
7. He also saw the cloth that had been around Jesus’ head. It was folded up and laid in a different place from the pieces of linen.
8. Then the other follower went in—the one who had reached the tomb first. He saw what had happened and believed.
9. (These followers did not yet understand from the Scriptures that Jesus must rise from death.)
10. Then the followers went back home.
11. But Mary stood outside the tomb, crying. While she was crying, she bent down and looked inside the tomb.
