He is Risen!
John 20:1-18
Early on the first day of the
week, while it was still dark,
Mary Magdalene went to the
tomb and saw that the stone had
been removed from the
entrance.
So she came running to Simon
Peter and the other disciple, the
one Jesus loved, and said, “They
have taken the Lord out of the
tomb, and we don’t know where
they have put him!”
So Peter and the other disciple
started for the tomb. Both were
running, but the other disciple
outran Peter and reached the
tomb first. He bent over and
looked in at the strips of linen
lying there but did not go in.
Then Simon Peter came along
behind him and went straight into
the tomb. He saw the strips of
linen lying there, as well as the
cloth that had been wrapped
around Jesus’ head. The cloth was
still lying in its place, separate
from the linen.
Finally the other disciple, who had
reached the tomb first, also went
inside. He saw and believed. (They
still did not understand from
Scripture that Jesus had to rise
from the dead.) Then the disciples
went back to where they were
staying.
Now Mary stood outside the tomb
crying. As she wept, she bent over
to look into the tomb and saw two
angels in white, seated where
Jesus’ body had been, one at the
head and the other at the foot.
They asked her,
“Woman, why are you
crying?”
“They have taken my Lord
away,” she said, “and I don’t
know where they have put
him.” At this, she turned
around and saw Jesus standing
there, but she did not realize
that it was Jesus.
He asked her, “Woman, why are
you crying? Who is it you are
looking for?”
Thinking he was the gardener, she
said, “Sir, if you have carried him
away, tell me where you have put
him, and I will get him.”
Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned toward him and cried
out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which
means “Teacher”).
Jesus said, “Do not hold on to
me, for I have not yet
ascended to the Father. Go
instead to my brothers and tell
them, ‘I am ascending to my
Father and your Father, to my
God and your God.’”
Mary Magdalene went to the
disciples with the news: “I
have seen the Lord!” And she
told them that he had said
these things to her.
