John 20
1 The first day of the week comes Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.
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.
2 Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and says unto them, They have taken away the LORD out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.
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!”
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the tomb.
Then Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the tomb.
The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
6 Then comes Simon Peter following him, and went into the tomb, and sees the linen clothes lie,
Simon Peter arrived just after him. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.
7 And the cloth, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
The cloth that had been around Jesus’ head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths.
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.
Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. And he saw and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
For they still did not understand from the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
Then the disciples returned to their homes.
11 But Mary stood without at the tomb weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the tomb,
But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb,
12 And sees two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
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.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weep you? She says unto them, Because they have taken away my LORD, and I know not where they have laid him.
“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.”
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not recognize that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus says unto her, Woman, why weep you? whom seek you? She, supposing him to be the gardener, says unto him, Sir, if you have borne him behind, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.
“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.”
16 Jesus says unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and says unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus says unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
“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.’”
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and says unto them, Peace be unto you.
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.
20 And when he had so said, he showed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.
After He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father has sent me, even so send I you.
Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and says unto them, Receive all of you the Holy Spirit: (pneuma)
When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Whomsoever sins all of you remit, they are remitted unto them; and whomsoever sins all of you retain, they are retained.
If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the LORD. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
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.”
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
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.”
27 Then says he to Thomas, Reach here your finger, and behold my hands; and reach here your hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
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.”
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.
Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus says unto him, Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.
31 But these are written, that all of you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing all of you might have life through his name.
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.
