20:1

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance. 

20:2

So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"

20:3

So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.

20:4

Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.

20:5

He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in.

20:6

Then Simon Peter, who was behind him, arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there,

20:7

as well as the burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate from the linen.

20:8

Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.

20:9

(They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)

20:10

Then the disciples went back to their homes,

16:1

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus' body.

13:23

One of them, the disciple whom Jesus loved, was reclining next to him.

27:62

The next day, the one after Preparation Day, the chief priests and the Pharisees went to Pilate.

27:63

"Sir," they said, "we remember that while he was still alive that deceiver said, 'After three days I will rise again.' 

27:64

So give the order for the tomb to be made secure until the third day. Otherwise, his disciples may come and steal the body and tell the people that he has been raised from the dead. This last deception will be worse than the first."

27:65

"Take a guard," Pilate answered. "Go, make the tomb as secure as you know how."

27:66

So they went and made the tomb secure by putting a seal on the stone and posting the guard.

1:12

Now I want you to know, brothers, that what has happened to me has really served to advance the gospel. 

1:13

As a result, it has become clear throughout the whole palace guard and to everyone else that I am in chains for Christ.

1:14

Because of my chains, most of the brothers in the Lord have been encouraged to speak the word of God more courageously and fearlessly.

1:15

It is true that some preach Christ out of envy and rivalry, but others out of goodwill.

1:16

The latter do so in love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel.

1:17

The former preach Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely, supposing that they can stir up trouble for me while I am in chains.

1:18

But what does it matter? The important thing is that in every way, whether from false motives or true, Christ is preached. And because of this I rejoice.
