The Resurrection

(Matthew 28:1–10; Mark 16:1–8;
Luke 24:1–12)

20 ^<1>Early on the first day of the week,¹ while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. ^<2>So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,” she said, “and we do not know where they have put Him!”

^<3>Then Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb. ^<4>The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. ^<5>He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

^<6>Simon Peter arrived just after him. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there. ^<7>The cloth² that had been around Jesus’ head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths. ^<8>Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. And he saw and believed. ^<9>For they still did not understand from the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

(Mark 16:9–11)

^<10>Then the disciples returned to their homes. ^<11>But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb, ^<12>and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at the feet.

^<13>“Woman, why are you weeping?” they asked.

“Because they have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I do not know where they have put Him.”

^<14>When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not recognize that it was Jesus.

^<15>“Woman, why are you weeping?” Jesus asked. “Whom are you seeking?”

Thinking He was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried Him off, tell me where you have put Him, and I will get Him.”

^<16>Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned and said to Him in Hebrew,³ “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

^<17>“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’ ”

^<18>Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.

On Sunday morning they discovered that Jesus’ tomb was empty.

20 ^<1> Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary, the woman from Magdala village, went to the burial cave with some other women. They saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance to the cave. ^<2> So Mary ran to where Simon Peter and I were staying in Jerusalem. She said to us, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the burial cave, and we do not know where they have put it!” ^<3> So Peter and I started going to the cave. ^<4> We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first. ^<5> I stooped down at the entrance and looked inside. I saw the strips of linen cloth lying there where his body had been laid, but I did not go inside. ^<6> Then Simon Peter, who was running behind me, arrived. He went inside the cave. He, too, saw the strips of linen cloth lying there. ^<7> He also saw the cloth that they had wrapped around Jesus’ head. It had been folded and put aside, separate from the linen strips. ^<8> Then I also went inside. I saw those things and I believed that Jesus had truly become alive again. ^<9> Before this happened, we did not understand from what the prophets had written in the Scriptures, that he had to become alive again after he died.

Jesus appeared to Mary from Magdala.

^<10> Then we two disciples went back to where we were staying. In the meantime, Mary returned to the cave. ^<11> As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave. ^<12> She saw two angels in very white clothing, sitting at the place where Jesus’ body had been laid. One was where his head had been, and the other was where his feet had been. ^<13> They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?” She said to them, “They have taken away the body of my Lord, and I do not know where they have put it!” ^<14> After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. ^<15> He said to her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” Thinking that he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have taken his body away, tell me where you have put it. Then I will get it and bury it properly.” ^<16> Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him again and recognized him. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’. ^<17> Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to me, because I have not yet returned to my Father. Go to my disciples and tell them, ‘I am about to return to my Father and your Father, to the one who is my God and your God’.” ^<18> So Mary went to where we disciples were and told us that she had seen the Lord alive again. She also told us what Jesus said that she should tell us.
