But Mary
stood
outside
by the
tomb
weeping,
and as
she wept
she
stopped
down and
looked
into the
tomb.
And she
saw two
angels
in white
sitting,
one at
the head
and the
other at
the
feet,
where
the body
of Jesus
had
lain.
Then
they
said to
her,
'Woman,
why are
you
weeping?'
She said
to them,
'Because
they
have
taken
away my
Lord,
and I do
not know
where
they
have
laid
Him.'
Now when
she had
said
this,
she
turned
around
and saw
Jesus
standing
there,
and did
not know
that it
was
Jesus.
Jesus
said to
her,
"Woman
why are
you
weeping?
Whom are
you
seeking?"
She,
supposing
Him to
be the
gardener,
said to
Him,
"Sir, If
You have
carried
Him
away,
tell me
where
You have
laid
Him, and
I will
take Him
away."
Jesus
said to
her,
"Mary!"
She
turned
and said
to Him,
"Rabboni"
(which
is to
say,
Teacher.).
Jesus
said to
her, "Do
not
cling to
Me, for
I have
not yet
ascended
to My
Father,
but go
to My
brethren
and say
to them,
'I am
ascending
to My
Father
and your
Father,
and to
My God
and your
God.''' |
Mary Magdalene came and
told the disciples that
she had seen the Lord,
and that He had spoken
these things to her.
Matthew 20:1-18;
(See
also Luke 24:10)
The following Sunday…
“Now the first day of
the week Mary Magdalene
went to the tomb early,
while it was still dark,
and saw the stone had
been taken away from the
tomb. Then 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 do
not know where they have
laid Him.’
“Peter therefore went
out, and the other
disciple, and were going
to the tomb. So they
both ran together, and
the other disciple
outran Peter and came to
the tomb first. And he,
stooping down and
looking in, saw white
linen cloths lying
there; yet he did not go
in. then Simon Peter
came, following him, and
went into the tomb; and
he saw the linen cloths
lying there, and the
handkerchief that had
been around His head,
not lying with the linen
cloths, but folded
together in a place by
itself.
Then the other disciple,
who came to the tomb
first, went in also; and
he saw and believed.
For
as yet they did
not know the Scripture,
that He must
rise
again from the dead.
Then the disciples went
away again to their own
homes.
The Resurrection
Read Mark 16:1-19
“Now after the Sabbath,
as the first day of the
week began to dawn, Mary
Magdalene and the other
Mary came to see the
tomb..
And behold, there was a
great earthquake; for an
angel of the Lord
descended from heaven,
and came and rolled back
the stone from the door,
and sat on it.”
Matthew 27:56; 28:1
