The Empty Tomb

1On Mt 28:5-8; Mk 16:5-8; Lk 24:3-8 the first day of the week Lk 24:1; Ac 20:7; 1Co 16:2 Mary Magdalene Mk 15:40 came to the tomb Jn 5:28 early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone Mt 27:60,66; Mk 15:46 had been removed Lit She saw the stone removed from the tomb.

2So she ran to Simon Peter Lk 6:14; Jn 21:7; Ac 10:32 and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, Jn 5:28 and we don’t know where they have put Him! ”

3At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb.

4The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.

5Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths Lk 24:12; Jn 19:40; 20:5-7 lying there, yet he did not go in.

6Then, following him, Simon Peter came also. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.

7The wrapping Lk 19:20; Jn 11:44; Ac 19:12 that had been on His head was not lying with the linen cloths Jn 20:5 but was folded up in a separate place by itself.

8The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then entered the tomb, saw, and believed.

9For they still did not understand the Scripture Mt 26:54 that He must rise Lk 18:33; Ac 2:24 from the dead. Mk 9:9-10; 12:25; Lk 16:31; 24:46; Ac 10:41; 13:34; 17:3,31

10Then the disciples went home again.

Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord

11But Mk 16:9-11 Mary stood outside facing the tomb, Jn 5:28 crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.

12She saw two angels Gn 16:7; Mt 13:49; Ac 5:19; Rv 14:6 in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where Jesus’ body Lk 12:4; Jn 2:21 had been lying.

13They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying? ”

“Because they’ve taken away my Lord,” Lk 10:1; 1Co 8:6 she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.”

14Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus. Jn 21:4

15“Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for? ”

Supposing He was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you’ve removed Him, tell me where you’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.”

16Jesus said, “Mary.”

Turning around, she said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” Rabbouni is also used in Mk 10:51 — which means “Teacher.” Mk 4:38; Eph 4:11

17“Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended Lk 24:51; Jn 3:13; 6:62; Ac 1:9-11; 2:33-34; Rm 10:6; Eph 1:20-21; 4:8; 1Pt 3:22 to the Father. Mt 5:16; 11:27; Jn 8:42 But go to My brothers Ac 9:30 and tell them that I am ascending to My Father Jn 14:12 and your Father — to My God Mt 27:46 and your God.”

18Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord! ” Mk 16:10 And she told them what Lit these things He had said to her.

The Disciples Commissioned

19In the evening of that first day of the week, Lk 24:1; Ac 20:7; 1Co 16:2 the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because of their fear of the Jews. Then Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you! ” Jn 14:27; 16:33

20Having said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Lk 24:39-40; Jn 19:34; 20:25-29 So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

21Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! As the Father has sent Me, Jn 3:17; 17:18; Heb 3:1 I also send you.” Jn 13:20; Ac 1:2

22After saying this, He breathed on them Gn 2:7; Ezk 37:9 and said, Lit He breathed and said to them “Receive the Holy Spirit. Ps 51:11; Jn 1:33; 14:17; 16:7; Ac 2:4; 8:15; Rm 8:9; Gl 5:25; Ti 3:5; Rv 3:22

23If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.” Mt 16:19; 18:18; Jn 9:41

Thomas Sees and Believes

24But one of the Twelve, Thomas Mk 3:18; Jn 11:16 (called “Twin”), was not with them when Jesus came.

25So the other disciples kept telling him, “We have seen the Lord! ”

But he said to them, “If I don’t see the mark of the nails in His hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails, Ps 22:16 and put my hand into His side, Jn 20:20 I will never believe! ” Dt 9:23; Mk 16:11; Lk 22:67; Jn 4:48; 6:64; Ac 13:41

26After eight days His disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them. He said, “Peace to you! ”

27Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Don’t be an unbeliever, but a believer.” Nm 12:7

28Thomas responded to Him, “My Lord and my God! ”

29Jesus said, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed. Or have you believed? (as a question) Those who believe without seeing 2Co 5:7; 1Pt 1:8 are blessed.”

The Purpose of This Gospel

30Jesus performed many other signs Jn 2:11; 21:25 in the presence of His disciples that are not written 1Jn 1:4 in this book. 2Tm 4:13

31But these are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah, Mt 1:17; Ac 18:5; 1Jn 2:22; 5:1 the Son Jn 5:19 of God, Or that the Messiah, the Son of God, is Jesus Heb 1:2 and by believing you may have life in His name. Jn 10:27; 1Jn 3:23
