Then came Simon Peter who went into the sepulchre, seeth the linen clothes
and the napkin that was about His head. The napkin was not lying with the
linen clothes, but was folded separately and in a place by itself. Then
the other disciple went in also, and he saw, and believed. As yet they
knew not the scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. The
disciples then returned to their own home.
But Mary stood outside at the entrance weeping. As she wept, she stooped
down, looked into the sepulchre, and saw two angels in white sitting,
one at the head and the other at the feet where the body of Jesus had
lain. They said to 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. After she had thus said, she turned and saw 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 have borne Him hence, tell me where Thou hast laid Him and I will
take Him away. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned and saith unto Him,
Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not for I
am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren and say unto them,
I ascend unto 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 unto her. Then the same day at
evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut
where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and
stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. And when He
had so said, He shewed unto them His hands and His side. Then were the
disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. Then said Jesus to them again,
Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. When
He had said this, He breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive
ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them;
and whose sins ye retain, they are retained.
But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when
Jesus came. The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen
the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in His hands the
print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and
thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe. Eight days passed
and His disciples were within and Thomas with them. Then came Jesus,
the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto
you. Then saith He to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my
hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side. Now be
not faithless but believing. Thomas answered and said unto Him, my Lord
and my God. Jesus saith, Thomas, because thou hast seen me thou hast
believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.
