John 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.
Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene comes to the tomb early, while it is still dark, and sees that the stone has been removed from the tomb.
2 So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,” she said, “and we do not know where they have put Him!”
So she runs and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and says to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they put Him!”
3 Then Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb.
So Peter and the other disciple took off, heading for the tomb.
4 The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
Well the two started running together, and the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.
5 He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
And stooping to look he sees the linen strips lying there; however he did not go in.
6 Simon Peter arrived just after him. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.
Then following him comes Simon Peter and went into the tomb; and he sees the linen strips lying there,
7 The cloth that had been around Jesus’ head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths.
and the facecloth that had been on His head not lying with the linen strips, but folded up in a separate place.
8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. And he saw and believed.
So then the other disciple went in too, the one who got to the tomb first; and he saw and believed.
9 For they still did not understand from the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.
(For they did not yet know the Scripture, that He had to rise from among the dead.)
10 Then the disciples returned to their homes.
Then the disciples went back home.
11 But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb,
Well Mary stood outside at the tomb, crying. Then, while she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.
12 and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at the feet.
And she sees two angels in white, sitting one at the head and one at the feet of where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 “Woman, why are you weeping?” they asked. “Because they have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I do not know where they have put Him.”
And they say to her, “Woman, why are you crying?” She says to them, “Because they removed my Lord, and I don't know where they put Him.”
14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not recognize that it was Jesus.
And upon saying this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, yet did not know that it was Jesus.
15 “Woman, why are you weeping?” Jesus asked. “Whom are you seeking?” Thinking He was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried Him off, tell me where you have put Him, and I will get Him.”
Jesus says to her: “Woman, why are you crying? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing that He was the gardener, says to Him, “Sir, if you carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will remove Him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
Jesus says to her, “Mary!” Turning she says to Him, “Raboni!” (which means ‘Teacher’).
17 “Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”
Jesus says to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father—my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.
Mary Magdalene goes to the disciples, reporting that she had seen the Lord and He had said these things to her.
19 It was the first day of the week, and that very evening, while the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you!” He said to them.
Then at evening on that first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle, and He says to them, “Peace to you!”
20 After He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
And upon saying this He showed them His hands and His side. Well, the disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord!
21 Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”
So Jesus said to them again: “Peace to you! Just as the Father sent me, I also send you.”
22 When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
Upon saying this He breathed on them and said: “Receive Holy Spirit!
23 If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”
To whomever you forgive the sins, they are forgiven to them; to whomever you retain, they have been retained.”
24 Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
Now one of the twelve, Thomas (called Twin), was not with them when Jesus came.
25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands, and put my finger where the nails have been, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe.”
So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “If I do not see the nail prints in His hands and put my finger into the nail prints, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe!”
26 Eight days later, His disciples were once again inside with the doors locked, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
Well after eight days His disciples were inside again, and Thomas with them. The doors were locked [again]; Jesus came and stood in the middle, and said, “Peace to you!”
27 Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.”
Then He says to Thomas: “Bring your finger here and perceive my hands; bring your hand and put it into my side; do not be unbelieving but believing!”
28 Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”
Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
Jesus says to him: “Because you have observed me, you have believed. Blessed are those who believe without seeing!”
30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.
Now then, Jesus actually performed many other miraculous signs in the presence of His disciples, that are not written in this book;
31 But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.
but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have Life through His Name.
