8 And they departed quickly from the sepulchre, with fear and great joy; and did run to bring his disciples word.6 And they went out quickly and fled from the sepulchre; for they trembled, and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid.
9 And as they went to tell his disciples, behold Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came, and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid: go tell my brethren, that they go into Galilee, and there shall they see me.

12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre, and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie;
7 And the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
8 Then went in also that other disciple which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the sepulchre,9 Now, when Jesus was risen early, the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.
12 And seeth two angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 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.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 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.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus 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.10 And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.11 And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not.

13 Saying, Say ye, His disciples came by night, and stole him away while we slept.
