::The Empty Tomb:-
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.
‘Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene’
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.
‘Jesus Appears to His Disciples’
On the evening of that
first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked
for fear of the Jewish leaders, Jesus
came and stood among them and said, “Peace be
with you!” After
he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The
disciples were overjoyed when
they saw the Lord.
Again Jesus said, “Peace
be with you! As
the Father has sent me, I
am sending you.” And with that he
breathed on them and said, “Receive
the Holy Spirit. If
you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them,
they are not forgiven.”
Now Thomas (also
known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus
came. So the
other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he said to them,
“Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails
were, and put my hand into his side, I
will not believe.”
A week later his
disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors
were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be
with you!” Then
he said to Thomas, “Put
your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side.
Stop doubting and believe.”
Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
Then Jesus told him, “Because
you have seen me, you have believed; blessed
are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John
20:1-29)
