2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and Baith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulclire, and we know not where they have laid him.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the Bepulchre.
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 look-

6 Then cometh Simon Peter fol- lowing him, and went into the sep- ulchre, 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 sep- ulchre, and he saw, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
