* Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb early on the first day of the week while it was still dark . She saw the stone was taken away from the tomb . * She ran to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus loved and said to them : »They have taken the Lord away out of the tomb . We do not know where they laid him .« * Peter and the other disciple went to the tomb . * They both ran together . The other disciple out ran Peter and got to the tomb first . * He stooped and looked inside where he saw the linen clothes . He did not enter . * Simon Peter followed him to the tomb and entered to see the linen clothes laying there . * The napkin that was on his head was not with the linen clothes . It was rolled up by itself . * The other disciple entered the tomb . He saw and believed . * They still did not know the Scripture that he must rise from the dead . * The disciples went away again to their own home . * Mary stood outside the tomb weeping . She stooped and looked into the tomb . * She saw two angels in white sitting , one at the head , and one at the feet , where the body of Jesus had lain . * »Woman why do you weep ,« they asked ? She told them : »They have taken my Lord and I do not know where they laid him .« * She turned and look there was Jesus standing nearby . She did not know it was Jesus . * Jesus said to her : »Woman , why do you weep ? Who are you looking for ?« She thought he was the gardener . She said : »Sir , if you have carried him somewhere else tell me where you laid him and I will take him away .« * Jesus said : »Mary .« She turned and said to him in Hebrew : »Rabboni ,« which is to say , Teacher . * Jesus said : »Do not touch me for I am not yet ascended to the Father . Go to my brothers , and say to them , I ascend to my Father and you ’re Father , and my God and your God .« (Revelation strkjv @3:12 ) * Mary Magdalene went to tell the disciples : »I have seen the Lord ! He said these things to me .« * It was evening of the first day of the week . The disciples shut the doors where they stayed for fear of the Jews . Jesus came and stood in the midst , and said to them : »May you have Peace .« * When he said this , he showed them his hands and his side . The disciples were glad , when they saw the Lord . * Jesus therefore said to them again : »May you have peace . As the Father sent me , even so I send you .« * After he said this he breathed on them and said : »Receive Holy Spirit . * »Forgive sins and they are forgiven . Do not forgive sins and they are not forgiven .« * Thomas , one of the twelve , called Didymus , was not with them when Jesus came . * The other disciples therefore said to him : »We have seen the Lord .« He said : »Unless I feel the print of the nails in his hands and put my hand into his side , I will not believe .« * Eight days later the disciples were inside with the doors shut and Thomas was with them . Jesus came in and stood in the midst , and said : »Peace be with you .« * Jesus said to Thomas : »Put your finger here and look at my hands . Put your hand into my side . Stop doubting and believe !« * Thomas answered : »My Lord and my God !« (John strkjv @1:18 ; John strkjv @10:36 ; John strkjv @20:17 ) * Jesus said to him : »Because you saw me , you believe . Blessed are they that have not seen , and yet believe !« * Jesus did many miracles in the presence of the disciples . They are not written in this book . * These are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ , the Son of God . By believing you may have life in his name .
