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 moved 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 ran to tell Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, “They've taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they've 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 went to the tomb.
So Peter and the other disciple took off, heading for the tomb.
4 The two of them were running together, but the other disciple ran faster 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 looking in he saw the grave-clothes lying there, but he didn't go in.
And stooping to look he sees the linen strips lying there; however he did not go in.
6 Then Simon Peter arrived after him and went right into the tomb. He saw the linen grave-clothes lying there,
Then following him comes Simon Peter and went into the tomb; and he sees the linen strips lying there,
7 and that the cloth that had been on Jesus' head wasn't with the other grave-clothes but had been folded and placed on its own.
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 went inside as well.
So then the other disciple went in too, the one who got to the tomb first; and he saw and believed.
9 He looked around and believed it was true—for up till then they hadn't understood 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 went back to where they were staying.
Then the disciples went back home.
11 But Mary stayed outside the tomb crying, and as she was crying, she bent down and looked into the tomb.
Well Mary stood outside at the tomb, crying. Then, while she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.
12 She saw two angels in white, one sitting at the head and the other at the foot of where Jesus' body had been lying.
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 “Why are you crying?” they asked her. She answered, “Because they've taken my Lord away, and I don't know where they've 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 After she'd said this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but she didn't realize it was Jesus.
And upon saying this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, yet did not know that it was Jesus.
15 “Why are you crying?” he asked her. “Who are you looking for?” Assuming he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you've taken him away, tell me where you've put him so I can go and 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 to him and said, “Rabboni,” which means “Teacher” in Hebrew.
Jesus says to her, “Mary!” Turning she says to Him, “Raboni!” (which means ‘Teacher’).
17 “Don't hold onto me,” Jesus said to her, “for I haven't yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them I am ascending to my Father and your Father, 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 So Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples, “I've seen the Lord,” and she explained to 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 That evening, on the first day of the week, as the disciples were meeting together behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “May you have peace.”
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 this greeting he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were full of joy to see 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 “May you have peace!” Jesus told them again. “In the same way the Father sent me, so I'm sending you.”
So Jesus said to them again: “Peace to you! Just as the Father sent me, I also send you.”
22 Saying this, he breathed on them, and told them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
Upon saying this He breathed on them and said: “Receive Holy Spirit!
23 If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you hold them unforgiven, unforgiven they remain.”
To whomever you forgive the sins, they are forgiven to them; to whomever you retain, they have been retained.”
24 One of the twelve disciples, Thomas, who was called the Twin, wasn't with them 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've seen the Lord.” But he replied, “I won't believe it unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger in them, and put my hand in his side.”
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 One week later the disciples were together inside the house; and Thomas was with them. The doors were closed, and Jesus came and stood among them. “May you have peace!” he said.
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 he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Put your hand in the wound on my side. Stop doubting and trust in me!”
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 “My Lord and my God!” Thomas responded.
Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 “You trust in me because you've seen me,” Jesus told him. “Happy are those that haven't seen me yet still trust in me.”
Jesus says to him: “Because you have observed me, you have believed. Blessed are those who believe without seeing!”
30 Jesus did many other miraculous signs while he was with his disciples that are not recorded 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 down here so that you may trust that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by trusting in him as he is you will have life.
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.
