His Life: A Complete Story in the Words of the Four Gospels
Barton, William E. (William Eleazar)
Jesus Christ -- Biography
Now on the first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it
was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the
tomb. She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the
other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, "They have taken
away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid
him."
Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went
toward the tomb. And they ran both together: and the other disciple
outran Peter, and came first to the tomb; and stooping and looking in,
he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.
Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the
tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying, and the napkin, that
was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a
place by itself. Then entered in therefore the other disciple also,
who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed. For as yet they
knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. So the
disciples went away again unto their own home.
THE APPEARANCE TO MARY.
But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept,
she stooped and looked into the tomb; and she beholdeth two angels in
white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of
Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, "Woman, why weepest thou?"
She saith unto them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know
not where they have laid him."
When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
Jesus saith unto her, "Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?"
She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, "Sir, if thou
hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will
take him away."
Jesus saith unto her, "Mary."
She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, "Rabboni"; which is
to say, "Teacher."
Jesus saith to her, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the
Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, 'I ascend unto my
Father, and your Father, and my God and your God.'"
Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, "I have seen the
Lord"; and that he had said these things unto her.
THE APPEARANCE TO THE WOMEN.
And the women which had come with him out of Galilee came unto the
tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they were
saying among themselves, "Who shall roll us away the stone from the
door of the tomb?" and looking up, they see that the stone is rolled
back: for it was exceeding great. And entering into the tomb, they saw
a young man sitting on the right side arrayed in a white robe; and
they were amazed. And he saith unto them, "Be not amazed: ye seek
Jesus, the Nazarene, who hath been crucified: he is risen; he is not
here: behold, the place where they laid him! But go, tell his
disciples and Peter, 'He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye
see him, as he said unto you.'"
