But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she bent down and looked into the tomb.

Then Peter and the other disciple set out to go to the tomb.

Now very early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been moved away from the entrance.

“Do not be amazed at this, because a time is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice

Jesus, intensely moved again, came to the tomb. (Now it was a cave, and a stone was placed across it.)

So she went running to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus loved and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
