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. 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.
So Peter and the other disciples started for the tomb. Both were running, but the other
disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. Then Simon Peter, who was behind him,
arrived and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the
burial cloth that had been around Jesus' head. The cloth was folded up by itself, separate
from the linen.
Then the disciples went back to their homes, but Mary stood
outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two
angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and one at the foot.
They asked her, "Woman why are you crying?" They have taken my Lord away,"
she said, "and I don't know where they have put him." At this, she turned around
and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. John
20: 1-14 
Now Thomas, one of the twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"
But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my
finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it. A week
later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors
were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!"
Then he said to Thomas,
"Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side.
Stop doubting and believe." Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
