John 20
1 And on the first [day] of the weeks, Mary the Magdalene comes early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she sees the stone having been taken away out of the tomb;
On the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from it.
2 she runs, therefore, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus was cherishing, and says to them, “They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they laid Him.”
So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter and the other disciple--the one who was dear to Jesus--and to tell them, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him."
3 Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,
Peter and the other disciple started at once to go to the tomb, both of them running,
4 and the two were running together, and the other disciple ran forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,
but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached it before he did.
5 and having stooped down, sees the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he did not enter.
Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there on the ground, but he did not go in.
6 Simon Peter, therefore, comes, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholds the linen clothes lying [there],
Simon Peter, however, also came, following him, and entered the tomb. There on the ground he saw the cloths;
7 and the napkin that was on His head not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place;
and the towel, which had been placed over the face of Jesus, not lying with the cloths, but folded up and put by itself.
8 then, therefore, the other disciple who came first to the tomb entered also, and he saw and believed;
Then the other disciple, who had been the first to come to the tomb, also went in and saw and was convinced.
9 for they did not yet know the Writing, that it was necessary for Him to rise again out of the dead.
For until now they had not understood the inspired teaching, that He must rise again from among the dead.
10 The disciples therefore went away again to their own friends,
Then they went away and returned home.
11 and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping outside; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down into the tomb, and beholds two messengers in white, sitting,
Meanwhile Mary remained standing near the tomb, weeping aloud. She did not enter the tomb, but as she wept she stooped and looked in,
12 one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.
and saw two angels clothed in white raiment, sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been.
13 And they say to her, “Woman, why do you weep?” She says to them, “Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they laid Him”;
They spoke to her. "Why are you weeping?" they asked. "Because," she replied, "they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him."
14 and having said these things, she turned backward, and sees Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus.
While she was speaking, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but did not recognize Him.
15 Jesus says to her, “Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek?” She, supposing that He is the gardener, says to Him, “Lord, if You carried Him away, tell me where You laid Him, and I will take Him away”;
"Why are you weeping?" He asked; "who are you looking for?" She, supposing that He was the gardener, replied, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I will remove him."
16 Jesus says to her, “Mary!” Having turned, she says to Him, “Rabboni!” That is to say, “Teacher.”
"Mary!" said Jesus. She turned to Him. "Rabboni!" she cried in Hebrew: the word means 'Teacher!'
17 Jesus says to her, “Do not be touching Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; and be going on to My brothers, and say to them, I ascend to My Father and your Father, and [to] My God and your God.”
"Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But take this message to my brethren: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
18 Mary the Magdalene comes, reporting to the disciples that she has seen the LORD, and [that] He said these things to her.
Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples. "I have seen the Master," she said. And she told them that He had said these things to her.
19 It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first [day] of the weeks, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, “Peace to you”;
On that same first day of the week, when it was evening and, for fear of the Jews, the doors of the house where the disciples were, were locked, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, "Peace be to you!"
20 and having said this, He showed them His hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the LORD.
Having said this He showed them His hands and also His side; and the disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Master.
21 Jesus, therefore, said to them again, “Peace to you; according as the Father has sent Me, I also send you”;
A second time, therefore, He said to them, "Peace be to you! As the Father sent me, I also now send you."
22 having said this, He breathed on [them], and says to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit;
Having said this He breathed upon them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 if you may forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you may retain of any, they have been retained.”
If you remit the sins of any persons, they remain remitted to them. If you bind fast the sins of any, they remain bound."
24 And Thomas, one of the Twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came;
Thomas, one of the twelve--surnamed 'the Twin' --was not among them when Jesus came.
25 the other disciples, therefore, said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” And he said to them, “If I may not see the mark of the nails in His hands, and may [not] put my finger into the mark of the nails, and may [not] put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
So the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Master!" His reply was, "Unless I see in his hands the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it."
26 And after eight days, again His disciples were within, and Thomas [was] with them; Jesus comes, the doors having been shut, and He stood in the midst and said, “Peace to you!”
A week later the disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them, when Jesus came--though the doors were locked--and stood in their midst, and said, "Peace be to you."
27 Then He says to Thomas, “Bring your finger here, and see My hands, and bring your hand, and put [it] into My side, and do not become unbelieving, but believing.”
Then He said to Thomas, "Bring your finger here and feel my hands; bring you hand and put it into my side; and do not be ready to disbelieve but to believe."
28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
"My Lord and my God!" replied Thomas.
29 Jesus says to him, “Because you have seen Me, Thomas, you have believed; blessed [are] those having not seen, and having believed.”
"Because you have seen me," replied Jesus, "you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."
30 Many indeed, therefore, other signs Jesus also did before His disciples that are not written in this scroll;
There were also a great number of other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book.
31 and these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in His Name.
But these have been recorded in order that you may believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, through believing, you may have Life through His name.
