¶ The first day¹ of the week cometh Mary² Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken³ away from the sepulchre.

Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the⁴ other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken⁵ away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

⁶Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun⁷ Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

And he stooping down, and looking in, saw⁸ the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

⁹Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

¹⁰And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he¹¹ saw, and believed.

For as yet they¹² knew not the scripture, that¹³ he must rise again from the dead.

¶ Then the disciples went¹⁴ away again unto their own home.

¶ But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

And seeth¹⁵ two angels in¹⁶ white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

And they say unto her, Woman¹⁷, why¹⁸ weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because¹⁹ they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw²⁰ Jesus standing, and knew²¹ not that it was Jesus.

Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom²² seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if²³ thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

Jesus saith unto her, Mary²⁴. She²⁵ turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni²⁶; which is to say, Master.

Jesus saith unto her, Touch²⁷ me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren²⁸, and say unto them, I ascend²⁹ unto my Father, and your Father³⁰; and to my God, and your God³¹.

Mary Magdalene came³² and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

¶ Then the same³³ day at evening, being the first day of the week, when³⁴ the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came³⁵ Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace³⁶ be unto you.

¶ And when he had so said, he shewed³⁷ unto them his hands and his side. Then³⁸ were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.

Then said Jesus to them again, Peace³⁹ be unto you: as⁴⁰ my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

And when he had said this, he breathed⁴¹ on them, and saith unto them, Receive⁴² ye the Holy Ghost:

⁴³Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

But Thomas⁴⁴, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was⁴⁵ not with them when Jesus came.

The other disciples therefore said unto him, We⁴⁶ have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except⁴⁷ I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

¶ And after eight⁴⁸ days again his disciples were within, and Thomas⁴⁹ with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace⁵⁰ be unto you.

Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger⁵¹, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand⁵², and thrust it into my side: and be⁵³ not faithless, but believing.

And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord⁵⁴ and my God.

Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed⁵⁵ are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

¶⁵⁶And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

But these⁵⁷ are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing⁵⁸ ye might have life through⁵⁹ his name.
