Scriptures

New Living Translation (NLT)

John 19
⁴¹ The place of crucifixion was near a garden, where there was a new tomb, never used before.
⁴² And so, because it was the day of preparation for the Jewish Passover and since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.
John 20
¹ Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.
² She ran and found Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
³ Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb.
⁴ They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
⁵ He stooped and looked in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he didn’t go in.
⁶ Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings lying there,
⁷ while the cloth that had covered Jesus’ head was folded up and lying apart from the other wrappings.
⁸ Then the disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed—
⁹ for until then they still hadn’t understood the Scriptures that said Jesus must rise from the dead.
