stooping down and looking in, saw the linen 6 clothes lying, yet went he not in. Then co

meth Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie; and the napkin that was about his head

not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped 81

together in a place by itself. Then went in also

that other disciple which came first to the sepul. 9 ' chre, and he saw and believed. For as yet they

knew not the scripture, that he must rise again 10 from the dead. Then the disciples went away 11 again unto their own home. But Mary stood

without at the sepulchre, weeping: and as she

wept, she stooped down and looked into the se12 pulchre, and seeth two angels in white sitting,

the one at the head, and the other at the feet, 13 where the body of Jesus had lain : and they

say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? she aith unto them, Because they have taken away

my Lord, and I know not where they have 141 laid him. And when she had thus said, she

turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, 15 and knew not that it was Jesus. Jesus saith

Junto 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. 16 John Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned her

self, and saith unto him, Rabboni, which is to 17 say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me

hot, 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. 16

nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will
not believe.

(or things) which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fula filled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms concerning me. Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures, and said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it
