5. He bent over and saw the linen wrappings, but he did not go in.

6. Behind him came Simon Peter, and he went straight into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there

7. and the cloth which had been round Jesus' head. It was not lying with the linen wrappings but was rolled up by itself.

8. Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in; he saw and believed.

9. (They still did not understand the scripture which said that he must rise from death.)

10. Then the disciples went back home.

11. Mary stood crying outside the tomb. While she was still crying, she bent over and looked in the tomb

12. and saw two angels there dressed in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet.

13. “Woman, why are you crying?” they asked her.She answered, “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put him!”

14. Then she turned round and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not know that it was Jesus.

15. “Woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. “Who is it that you are looking for?”She thought he was the gardener, so she said to him, “If you took him away, sir, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.”
