Gospel according to John

He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe.

For these things happened, that the Scripture might be fulfilled, "A bone of him will not be broken."

Again another Scripture says, "They will look on him whom they pierced."

After these things, Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, asked of Pilate that he might take away Jesus' body. Pilate gave him permission. He came therefore and took away his body.

Nicodemus, who at first came to Jesus by night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred Roman pounds.

So they took Jesus' body, and bound it in linen cloths with the spices, as the custom of the Jews is to bury.

Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden. In the garden a new tomb in which no man had ever yet been laid.

Then because of the Jews' Preparation Day (for the tomb was near at hand) they laid Jesus there.

Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have laid him!"

Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first.

Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn't enter in.

Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,

and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.

For as yet they didn't know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
