Gospel from John 20:1-9
P – The Lord be with you.
All – And with your spirit.
P – A reading from the holy Gospel according to John
All – Glory to you, O Lord.
On the first day of the week, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb early in the morning, while it was still dark, and saw the stone removed from the tomb.
So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they put him.”
So Peter and the other disciple went out and came to the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and arrived at the tomb first.
He bent down and saw the burial cloths there, but did not go in. When Simon Peter arrived after him, he went into the tomb and saw the burial cloths there, and the cloth that had covered his head, not with the burial cloths but rolled up in a separate place.
Then the other disciple also went in, the one who arrived at the tomb first, and he saw and believed.
For they did not yet understand the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.
The Gospel of the Lord.
All – Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
