< John 20 >

1 Now early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and she saw the stone rolled away from the tomb.
The first day of the week, Mary, the Magdalene, went early to the sepulcher, while it was yet dark; and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
2 So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and she said to them, “They took away the Lord out from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.”
Then she came running to Simon Peter, and to that other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, They have taken the Master out of the sepulcher; and we know not where they have laid him.
3 Then Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went to the tomb.
Immediately Peter went out, and the other disciple, to go to the sepulcher;
4 They both ran together, and the other disciple quickly ran ahead of Peter and arrived at the tomb first.
and both ran together, but the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulcher;
5 Then stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go inside.
and stooping down, he saw the linen rollers lying, but went not in.
6 Simon Peter then arrived after him and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there
Then came Simon Peter, who followed him, and went into the sepulcher, where he observed the rollers lying;
7 and the cloth that had been on his head. It was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a place by itself.
and the handkerchief which had been wrapped about his head, not laid beside them, but folded up in a place by itself.
8 Then the other disciple, the one who first arrived at the tomb, also went in, and he saw and believed.
Then the other disciple, who came first to the sepulcher, entered also; and he saw, and believed the report.
9 For until that time they still did not know the scripture that he should rise from the dead.
For, as yet, they did not understand from the scriptures, that he was to rise from the dead.
10 So the disciples went back home again.
Then the disciples returned to their companions.
11 But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she stooped down into the tomb.
But Mary stood without, near the sepulcher, weeping. As she wept, stooping down to look into the sepulcher,
12 She saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the foot of where the body of Jesus had lain.
she saw two angles in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head, the other at the feet.
13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they took away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him.”
And they said to her, Woman, why do you weep? She answered, Because they have taken away my Master, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 When she said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
Having said this, she turned about, and saw Jesus standing, but knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought that he was the gardener, so she said to him, “Sir, if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away.”
Jesus aid to her, Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? She, supposing him to be the gardener, answered, Sir, if you have conveyed him hence, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned, and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabboni” (which means “Teacher”).
Jesus said to her, Mary. She, turning, said to him, Rabboni; that is, Teacher.
17 Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet gone up to the Father, but go to my brothers and say to them that I will go up to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.”
Jesus said to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that he had said these things to her.
Mary, the Magdalene, went and informed the disciples, that she had seen the Master, and that he had spoken these things to her.
19 When it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of where the disciples were, were closed for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle of them and said to them, “Peace to you.”
In the evening of that day, the first of the week, Jesus came where the disciples were convened, (the doors having been shut, for the fear of the Jews, ) and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you.
20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
Having said this, he showed them his hand and his side. The disciples, therefore, rejoiced when they saw it was their Master.
21 Jesus then said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.”
Jesus said again to them, Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, so do I send you.
22 When Jesus had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
After these words, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Whoever's sins you forgive, they are forgiven; whoever's sins you keep back, they are kept back.”
Whose sins soever you remit, are remitted to them; and whose sins soever you retain, are retained.
24 Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
Now, Thomas, that is, Didymus, one of the twelve, was not with them, when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples later said to him, “We have seen the Lord.” He said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
The other disciples, therefore, said to him, We have seen the Master. But he answered, Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger to the print of the nails, and my hand to his side, I will not believe.
26 After eight days his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came while the doors were closed, and stood among them, and said, “Peace to you.”
Eight days after, the disciples being again in the house, and Thomas with them, Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace be to you.
27 Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here with your finger and see my hands. Reach here with your hand and put it into my side. Do not be unbelieving, but believe.”
Then turning to Thomas, Reach hither your finger, he said, and look at my hands; reach also your hand, and feel my side; and be not incredulous, but believe.
28 Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God.”
Thomas answered, My Lord, and my God!
29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and believed.”
Jesus replied, Because you see me, you believe; happy they, who, having never seen, shall nevertheless believe.
30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, signs that have not been written in this book,
Many other miracles Jesus likewise performed in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.
31 but these have been written so that you would believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that believing, you would have life in his name.
But these are recorded, that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and, that believing, you may have life through his name.
