further afield.

the two Marys, along with Salome,
have called for Joanna and Susanna.

11. The women arrive at the garden and the tomb
The women have reached the edge of the garden,
and have seen in the distance that the stone
sealing the tomb has been rolled away.

to the conclusion that
the authorities have
taken the body, and
races back to Jerusalem
to tell Peter and John.

angels at the tomb
women enter the tomb,
where they encounter
the two angels, one of
whom gives them a
message for the
disciples.
Mary Magdalene has
reached Peter and John
and cried: "They have
taken the Lord out of the
tomb, and we don’t know
where they have laid
him!"

13. Peter, John, and Mary
The two men race
back to the tomb,
with Mary
following.

14. Mary looked into the tomb she
saw the two men in white,
although she did not yet
recognize them as angels.
It is then that Mary
had her now famous
encounter with the

account
corroborates Mark’s
observation that
Jesus first appeared
to Mary (Mark
16:9)

15. Peter and John, having already left the garden,
make their way back to the others in Jerusalem
(John 20:11). Peter falls behind and encounters

and behold my hands; and reach hither
thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and
be not faithless, but believing. 28 And
Thomas answered and said unto Him,
My Lord and my God.
