John 20
1 Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary, the woman from Magdala [village], went to the [burial] cave [with some other women]. They saw that the stone had been removed {that someone had removed the stone} from the [entrance to the] cave.
Nowe the first day of the weeke came Marie Magdalene, early when it was yet darke, vnto the sepulchre, and sawe the stone taken away from the tombe.
2 So Mary ran to where Simon Peter and I [were staying in Jerusalem]. She said to us, “They have taken the Lord’s [body] out of the burial cave, and we do not know where they have put it!”
Then she ranne, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Iesus loued, and saide vnto them, They haue taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we knowe not where they haue laid him.
3 So Peter and I started going to the cave.
Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they came vnto the sepulchre.
4 We were both running, but I ran faster than Peter and got there first.
So they ranne both together, but the other disciple did outrunne Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
5 I stooped down [at the entrance] and looked inside. I saw the strips of linen cloth lying there [where his body had been laid], but I did not go inside.
And he stouped downe, and sawe the linnen clothes lying: yet went he not in.
6 Then Simon Peter, who was running behind me, arrived. He went inside the cave. He, too, saw the strips of linen cloth lying there.
Then came Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and sawe the linnen clothes lye,
7 He also [saw the] cloth that they had [wrapped] around Jesus’ head. It had been folded and put {Someone had folded it and put it} aside, separate from the linen strips.
And the kerchiefe that was vpon his head, not lying with the linnen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by it selfe.
8 Then I also went inside. I saw [those things] and I believed [that Jesus had truly become alive again].
Then went in also the other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he sawe it, and beleeued.
9 Before this happened, we did not understand from [what the prophets had written in] the Scriptures, that he had to become alive again after he died.
For as yet they knewe not the Scripture, That he must rise againe from the dead.
10 Then [we two] disciples went back to where we were staying. [In the meantime], Mary [returned to the cave].
And the disciples went away againe vnto their owne home.
11 As she stood outside the cave crying, she stooped down to look inside the cave.
But Marie stoode without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she bowed her selfe into the sepulchre,
12 She saw two angels in very white [clothing], sitting at the place where Jesus’ body had been laid. One was where his head had been, and the other was where his feet had been.
And sawe two Angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feete, where the body of Iesus had laien.
13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?” She said to them, “They have taken away [the body of] my Lord, and I do not know where they have put it!”
And they said vnto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She said vnto them, They haue taken away my Lord, and I know not where they haue laide him.
14 After she said that, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know that it was Jesus.
When she had thus said, she turned her selfe backe, and sawe Iesus standing, and knewe not that it was Iesus.
15 He said to her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” Thinking that he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have taken his [body] away, tell me where you have put it. Then I will get it [and bury it properly].”
Iesus saith vnto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She supposing that he had bene the gardener, said vnto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward him [again and recognized him]. Then she exclaimed in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” which means ‘Teacher’.
Iesus saith vnto her, Marie. She turned her selfe, and said vnto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to me, because I have not yet returned to my Father. Go to my disciples and tell them, ‘I am about to return to my Father and your Father, to the one who is my God and your God’.”
Iesus saith vnto her, Touch me not: for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but goe to my brethren, and say vnto them, I ascend vnto my Father, and to your Father, and to my God, and your God.
18 So Mary went to where [we] disciples were and told us that she had seen the Lord [alive again]. She also told us what Jesus said that she [should tell us].
Marie Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seene the Lord, and that he had spoken these things vnto her.
19 On that Sunday evening [we] disciples gathered together. The doors were locked {[We] locked the doors} because we were afraid that [the Jewish leaders] [SYN] [might arrest us. Suddenly] Jesus appeared [miraculously] and stood among us! He said to us, “May God give you [inner] peace!”
The same day then at night, which was the first day of the weeke, and when the doores were shut where the disciples were assembled for feare of the Iewes, came Iesus and stoode in the middes, and saide to them, Peace be vnto you.
20 After he said that, he showed us [the wounds in] his hands and his side. We were very happy when we saw the Lord!
And when he had so saide, he shewed vnto them his handes, and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they had seene the Lord.
21 Jesus said to us again, “May God give you peace! Just like [my] Father sent me, now I am sending you [to proclaim my message].”
Then saide Iesus to them againe, Peace be vnto you: as my Father sent me, so sende I you.
22 After saying that, he breathed on us and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
And when he had saide that, he breathed on them, and saide vnto them, Receiue the holy Ghost.
23 If you forgive people for their having sinned, [God will already] have forgiven them. If you do not forgive them, [God] has not forgiven them.”
Whosoeuers sinnes ye remit, they are remitted vnto them: and whosoeuers sinnes ye reteine, they are reteined.
24 One of us disciples, Thomas, the one whom we called The Twin, was not with us when Jesus appeared to us.
But Thomas one of the twelue, called Didymus, was not with them when Iesus came.
25 When the rest of us told him that we had seen the Lord, he said to us, “If I do not see the marks of the nails in his hands and put my fingers in the place where the nails were, and put my hands into the place in his side [where the soldier thrust the spear], I will certainly not believe [that he was the one you saw]!”
The other disciples therefore saide vnto him, We haue seene the Lord: but he said vnto them, Except I see in his handes the print of the nailes, and put my finger into the print of the nailes, and put mine hand into his side, I will not beleeue it.
26 A week later we were in [the house] again. This time Thomas was with us. Although the doors had been locked {[we] had locked the doors}, Jesus [again] appeared [miraculously] and stood among us. He said, “May God give peace to you!”
And eight dayes after, againe his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Then came Iesus, when the doores were shut, and stood in the middes, and said, Peace be vnto you.
27 Then he [showed] Thomas [his hands] and said to him, “Put your finger here! Look at [the wounds in] my hands! Reach out your hand and put it in [the wound in] my side! Stop doubting [LIT/DOU]! Instead, believe [that I am alive again]!”
After saide he to Thomas, Put thy finger here, and see mine hands, and put forth thine hand, and put it into my side, and be not faithlesse, but faithfull.
28 Thomas answered him, “[You are truly] my Lord and my God!”
Then Thomas answered, and said vnto him, Thou art my Lord, and my God.
29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed [that about me]. But God [is truly] pleased with those who have believed [that about me], even though they have not seen me!”
Iesus said vnto him, Thomas, because thou hast seene me, thou beleeuest: blessed are they that haue not seene, and haue beleeued.
30 [We] disciples saw Jesus perform many other miracles, but [I] have not written about them in this book.
And many other signes also did Iesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this booke.
31 But these [that I have written about, I] have written about them in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, (the Son of God/the man who is also God), and in order that you may have [eternal] life [by trusting] (in him/ in what he [has done for you]) [MTY].
But these things are written, that ye might beleeue, that Iesus is that Christ that Sonne of God, and that in beleeuing ye might haue life through his Name.
