Memory verse

“They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.”
John 20:4 · WEBBE

The story behind this colouring sheet

When Mary Magdalene told Peter and John that the tomb was empty, they jumped up and ran there as fast as they could!

John was faster and got there first. He bent down and looked in, and saw the linen cloths lying there. Then Peter arrived, puffing, and went straight inside.

The cloth that had been around Jesus' head was folded up neatly on its own. Nobody had stolen Jesus' body.

Then John went in too. He saw, and he believed!

Talk about it

  1. Who won the race to the tomb?
  2. What did Peter and John find inside?
  3. What do you think John believed when he saw the empty tomb?
