She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb's entrance. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-2.htm"><b>2</b></a></span>So she ran to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus loved. She told them, "They have removed the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they've put him." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-3.htm"><b>3</b></a></span>So Peter and the other disciple headed for the tomb. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-4.htm"><b>4</b></a></span>The two were running side by side, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and came to the tomb first. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-5.htm"><b>5</b></a></span>He bent over and looked inside the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there but didn't go inside. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-6.htm"><b>6</b></a></span>Simon Peter arrived after him and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-7.htm"><b>7</b></a></span>He also saw the cloth that had been on Jesus' head. It wasn't lying with the strips of linen but was rolled up separately. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-8.htm"><b>8</b></a></span>Then the other disciple, who arrived at the tomb first, went inside. He saw and believed. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-9.htm"><b>9</b></a></span>They didn't know yet what Scripture meant when it said that Jesus had to come back to life.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-10.htm"><b>10</b></a></span>So the disciples went back home.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-11.htm"><b>11</b></a></span>Mary, however, stood there and cried as she looked at the tomb. As she cried, she bent over and looked inside. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-12.htm"><b>12</b></a></span>She saw two angels in white clothes. They were sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying. One angel was where Jesus' head had been, and the other was where his feet had been. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-13.htm"><b>13</b></a></span>The angels asked her why she was crying. Mary told them, "They have removed my Lord, and I don't know where they've put him." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-14.htm"><b>14</b></a></span>After she said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. However, she didn't know that it was Jesus. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-15.htm"><b>15</b></a></span>Jesus asked her, "Why are you crying? Who are you looking for?" Mary thought it was the gardener speaking to her. So she said to him, "Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I'll remove him." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-16.htm"><b>16</b></a></span>Jesus said to her, "Mary!" Mary turned around and said to him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (This word means "teacher.") <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-17.htm"><b>17</b></a></span>Jesus told her, "Don't hold on to me. I have not yet gone to the Father. But go to my brothers and sisters and tell them, 'I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-18.htm"><b>18</b></a></span>Mary from Magdala went to the disciples and told them, "I have seen the Lord." She also told them what he had said to her.</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-19.htm"><b>19</b></a></span>That Sunday evening, the disciples were together behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jews. Jesus stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you!" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-20.htm"><b>20</b></a></span>When he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were glad to see the Lord. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-21.htm"><b>21</b></a></span>Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-22.htm"><b>22</b></a></span>After he had said this, he breathed on the disciples and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-23.htm"><b>23</b></a></span>Whenever you forgive sins, they are forgiven. Whenever you don't forgive them, they are not forgiven."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-24.htm"><b>24</b></a></span>Thomas, one of the twelve apostles, who was called Didymus, wasn't with them when Jesus came. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-25.htm"><b>25</b></a></span>The other disciples told him, "We've seen the Lord." Thomas told them, "I refuse to believe this unless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my fingers into them, and put my hand into his side."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-26.htm"><b>26</b></a></span>A week later Jesus' disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-27.htm"><b>27</b></a></span>Then Jesus said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Take your hand, and put it into my side. Stop doubting, and believe." <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-28.htm"><b>28</b></a></span>Thomas responded to Jesus, "My Lord and my God!" <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-29.htm"><b>29</b></a></span>Jesus said to Thomas, "You believe because you've seen me. Blessed are those who haven't seen me but believe."</p> <p class="reg"><span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-30.htm"><b>30</b></a></span>Jesus performed many other miracles that his disciples saw. Those miracles are not written in this book. <span class="reftext"><a href="/john/20-31.htm"><b>31</b></a></span>But these miracles have been written so that you will believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and so that you will have life by believing in him.</p></div></div><div id="botbox"><div class="padbot"><div align="center">GOD'S WORD® is a copyrighted work of <a href="//www.godsword.org" target="_top">God's Word to the Nations</a>.
