John 20:1-9
The Resurrection
20 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still
dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb 2 So she ran and went to
Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them. They have
taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him." 3 So Peter went
out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb 4 Both of them were running
together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first 5 And stooping to look
in he saw the linen cloths lying there but he did not go in 6 Then Simon Peter came, following
him and went into the tomb He saw the linen cloths lying there 7 and the face cloth which had
been on Jesus (a) head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. 8 Then
the other disciple who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed 9 for
as yet they did not understand the Scnpture that he must rise from the dead
a Why do you think the disciples ran to the tomb after Mary Magdalene came to them?
b What do you think your reaction would be?
