Mary Magdalene, Peter, John find empty tomb—The Risen Christ appears to Mary Magdalene in the garden—He appears to disciples and shows his resurrected body—Thomas feels the wounds in Jesus’ hands, feet, and side—‘Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.’

 THE ^afirst day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet ^bdark^•, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the ^cstone^• taken away from the ^dsepulchre^•.

 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other ^adisciple^•, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the ^bLord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

 And the ^anapkin^•, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must ^arise^• again from the ^bdead^•.

 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

 ¶ But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

 And seeth two ^aangels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and ^asaw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

 Jesus saith unto 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.

 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, ^aMaster^•.

 Jesus saith unto her, ^aTouch^• me not; for I am not yet ^bascended^• to my ^cFather: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my ^dFather, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

 ¶ Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were ^aassembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and ^bstood in the midst, and saith unto them, ^cPeace be unto you.

 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his ^ahands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they ^bsaw the Lord.

 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my ^aFather hath ^bsent me, even so ^csend^• I you.

 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

 Whose soever sins ye ^aremit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

 ¶ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the ^aprint of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

 ¶ And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and ^athrust^• it into my side: and be not ^bfaithless, but ^cbelieving.

 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast ^aseen me, thou hast believed: ^bblessed^• are they that have not seen, and yet have ^cbelieved^•.

 ¶ And many other ^asigns truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not ^bwritten^• in this book:

 But these are ^awritten^•, that ye might ^bbelieve^• that Jesus is the ^cChrist, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have ^dlife^• through his ^ename.
