John 20
1 On the first day of the week, early in the morning, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala went to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been removed.
On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, while it was yet dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and discovered that the stone had been removed from the tomb.
2 So she came running to Simon Peter, and to that other disciple who was Jesus’ friend, and said to them, ‘They have taken away the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!’
So she came running to Simon Peter and that other disciple whom Jesus loved, saying, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him!"
3 So, Peter started off with that other disciple, and they went to the tomb.
So Peter and the other disciples set out at once to go to the tomb.
4 The two began running together; but the other disciple ran faster than Peter, and reached the tomb first.
They both began to run; and the other disciple ran faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb.
5 Stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying there, but did not go in.
Stooping down he glanced in and saw the linen wrapping lying on the ground; but he did not go in.
6 Presently Simon Peter came following behind him, and went into the tomb; and he looked at the linen wrappings lying there,
Then Peter also came following him, and he went inside the tomb; and he gazed at the linen wrapping as they lay,
7 and the cloth which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the wrappings, but rolled up on one side, separately.
and the napkin which had been about his head not lying with the wrappings, but rolled up in it’s own place.
8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went inside too, and he saw for himself and was convinced.
Then the other disciple also who arrived first at the tomb went inside, and he perceived and believed.
9 For they did not then understand the passage of scripture which says that Jesus must rise again from the dead.
For not yet had they understood the Scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10 The disciples then returned to their companions.
Then the disciples went back again to their home.
11 Meanwhile Mary was standing close outside the tomb, weeping. Still weeping, she leant forward into the tomb,
Meanwhile, outside, Mary stood sobbing near the tomb. Still sobbing she stooped and looked into the tomb,
12 and perceived two angels clothed in white sitting there, where the body of Jesus had been lying, one where the head and the other where the feet had been.
and gazed at two angels in glistening white sitting, one at the head the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 ‘Why are you weeping?’ asked the angels. ‘They have taken my Master away,’ she answered, ‘and I do not know where they have laid him.’
They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She answered, "Because they have taken away my Master, and I do not know where they have laid him."
14 After saying this, she turned round, and looked at Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
When she had said this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but did not know that it was Jesus.
15 ‘Why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?’ he asked. Supposing him to be the gardener, Mary answered, ‘If it was you, Sir, who carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away myself.’
Jesus said to her. "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?’ She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have borne him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away, myself."
16 ‘Mary!’ said Jesus. She turned round, and exclaimed in Hebrew, ‘Rabboni!’ (or, as we should say, “teacher”).
"Mary," said Jesus. She turned to him. "Rabboni!" she cried in Hebrew. That is to say, "Teacher."
17 ‘Do not hold me,’ Jesus said, ‘for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers, and tell them that I am ascending to him who is my Father and their Father, my God and their God.’
"Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I am not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, "‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’"
18 Mary of Magdala went and told the disciples that she had seen the Master, and that he had said this to her.
Away went Mary Magdalene to the disciples with the tidings, "I have seen the Master!" and that he said these things to her.
19 In the evening of the same day – the first day of the week – after the doors of the room, in which the disciples were, had been shut because they were afraid of the religious authorities, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you’;
On the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, although the doors of the room where the disciples gathered had been locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came, and there he stood among them, saying. "Peace to you!"
20 after which he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Master.
As he said this he showed them his hands and his side. Then were the disciple glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Again Jesus said to them, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me as his messenger, so I am sending you.’
Then Jesus said to them again. "Peace to you. As my Father has sent me forth, I also now am sending you."
22 After saying this, he breathed on them, and said, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit;
When he had said this he breathed upon them and said.
23 if you remit anyone’s sins, they have been remitted; and, if you retain them, they have been retained.’
"Receive the Holy Spirit. If you remit any one’s sins, they are remitted; if you retain them they are retained."
24 But Thomas, one of the Twelve, called “The Twin,” was not with them when Jesus came;
But Thomas, one of the Twelve, who was called "The Twin." was not with them when Jesus came.
25 so the rest of the disciples said to him, ‘We have seen the Master!’ ‘Unless I see the marks of the nails in his hands,’ he exclaimed, ‘and put my finger into the marks, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.’
Accordingly the other disciples kept telling him, "We have seen the Lord." But he told them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and thrust my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe it."
26 A week later the disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. After the doors had been shut, Jesus came and stood among them, and said, ‘Peace be with you.’
A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and stood there among and said. "Peace to you!"
27 Then he said to Thomas, ‘Place your finger here, and look at my hands; and place your hand here, and put it into my side; and do not refuse to believe, but believe.’
Then to Thomas he said. "Place your finger here, and see my hands; and place your hand here, and thrust it into my side, and become not unbelieving, but believing."
28 And Thomas exclaimed, ‘My Master, and my God!’
Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
29 ‘Is it because you have seen me that you have believed?’ said Jesus. ‘Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed!’
"Because you have seen me, Thomas, you have believed," Jesus told him. "Blessed are those who, without seeing, yet believed."
30 There were many other signs of his mission that Jesus gave in presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book;
There were then many other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of his disciples, which have not been written in this book;
31 but these have been recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God – and that, through your belief in his name, you may have life.
but these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
