Mary Magdalene

25Now there stood by the cross of Jesus his mother, and his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Cleophas, and Mary Magdalene.

Standing near the cross of Jesus were his mother and his mother's sister. Mary the wife of Cleophas was there, and Mary Magdalene.

26When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!

Jesus saw his mother. He saw the follower he loved standing beside her. He said to his mother, "Woman, here is your son."

27Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.

Then he said to that follower, "Here is your mother." From that time on, the follower took her into his own home.

1The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.

It was the first day of the week. Very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. She saw that the big stone had been rolled away from it.

2Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.

So she ran to Simon Peter and to the other follower, the one Jesus loved. She said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb. We do not know where they put him."

3Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

So Peter and that other follower started out for the tomb.

4So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

Both men ran together. The other follower ran faster than Peter and got there first.

5And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

He bent down and looked in. He saw the linen cloths lying there. But he did not go inside.

6Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

Then Simon Peter came up behind him. He went right into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there.

7And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

The cloth that had been around Jesus' head was not with them. It was rolled up in a place by itself.

8Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

Then the other follower went in too, the one who got there first. He saw, and he believed.

9For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

Until then they had not understood what the Scriptures said. God's book said that Jesus had to rise from the dead.

10Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

Then the two followers went back to their homes.

11But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

But Mary stayed outside the tomb, crying. While she cried, she bent down and looked inside.

12And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

She saw two angels dressed in white, sitting where Jesus' body had been. One sat where his head had been. The other sat where his feet had been.

13And 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.

They asked her, "Woman, why are you crying?" She said, "They have taken my Lord away. I do not know where they put him."

14And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

Then she turned around. She saw Jesus standing there. But she did not know it was him.

15Jesus 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 asked her, "Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?" She thought he was the gardener. She said, "Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you put him. Then I will go and get him."

16Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned to him and said in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" That word means "Teacher."

17Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; 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.

Jesus said to her, "Do not hold on to me. I have not yet gone up to my Father. Go to my brothers and tell them this: I am going up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

18Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

Mary Magdalene went and told the followers, "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them everything he had said to her.
