John 19:38-20:9
Jesus Is Buried
38aNow after these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but bsecretly because of his cfear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body. 39aAnd Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bbringing a 1mixture of cmyrrh and aloes, weighing about 2one dhundred litras. 40So they took the body of Jesus and abound it in blinen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. 41Now in the place where He was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a anew tomb bin which no one had yet been laid. 42Therefore because of the Jewish day of aPreparation, since the tomb was bnearby, they laid Jesus there.
The Empty Tomb
20aNow on the first day of the week, bMary Magdalene *came early to the tomb, while it *was still dark, and *saw cthe stone already taken away from the tomb. 2So she *ran and *came to Simon Peter and to the other adisciple whom Jesus loved, and *said to them, “bThey have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.” 3aSo Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb. 4And the two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first; 5and astooping and looking in, he *saw the blinen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in. 6And so Simon Peter also *came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he *saw the linen wrappings lying there, 7and athe face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the blinen wrappings, but folded up in a place by itself. 8So the other disciple who ahad first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. 9For as yet athey did not understand the Scripture, bthat He must rise again from the dead.
