Iohannem 20
1 Una autem sabbati, Maria Magdalene venit mane, cum adhuc tenebræ essent, ad monumentum: et vidit lapidem sublatum a monumento.
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.
2 Cucurrit ergo, et venit ad Simonem Petrum, et ad alium discipulum, quem amabat Jesus, et dicit illis: Tulerunt Dominum de monumento, et nescimus ubi posuerunt eum.
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!”
3 Exiit ergo Petrus, et ille alius discipulus, et venerunt ad monumentum.
Upon this, Peter started off with that other disciple, and they went to the tomb.
4 Currebant autem duo simul, et ille alius discipulus præcucurrit citius Petro, et venit primus ad monumentum.
The two began running together; but the other disciple ran faster than Peter, and reached the tomb first.
5 Et cum se inclinasset, vidit posita linteamina: non tamen introivit.
Stooping down, he saw the linen wrappings lying there, but did not go in.
6 Venit ergo Simon Petrus sequens eum, et introivit in monumentum, et vidit linteamina posita,
Presently Simon Peter came following behind him, and went into the tomb; and he looked at the linen wrappings lying there,
7 et sudarium, quod fuerat super caput ejus, non cum linteaminibus positum, sed separatim involutum in unum locum.
and the cloth which had been upon Jesus’ head, not lying with the wrappings, but rolled up on one side, separately.
8 Tunc ergo introivit et ille discipulus qui venerat primus ad monumentum: et vidit, et credidit:
Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went inside too, and he saw for himself and was convinced.
9 nondum enim sciebant Scripturam, quia oportebat eum a mortuis resurgere.
For they did not then understand the passage of Scripture which says that Jesus must rise again from the dead.
10 Abierunt ergo iterum discipuli ad semetipsos.
The disciples then returned to their companions.
11 Maria autem stabat ad monumentum foris, plorans. Dum ergo fleret, inclinavit se, et prospexit in monumentum:
Meanwhile Mary was standing close outside the tomb, weeping. Still weeping, she leant forward into the tomb,
12 et vidit duos angelos in albis sedentes, unum ad caput, et unum ad pedes, ubi positum fuerat corpus Jesu.
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.
13 Dicunt ei illi: Mulier, quid ploras? Dicit eis: Quia tulerunt Dominum meum: et nescio ubi posuerunt eum.
“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.”
14 Hæc cum dixisset, conversa est retrorsum, et vidit Jesum stantem: et non sciebat quia Jesus est.
After saying this, she turned round, and looked at Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Dicit ei Jesus: Mulier, quid ploras? quem quæris? Illa existimans quia hortulanus esset, dicit ei: Domine, si tu sustulisti eum, dicito mihi ubi posuisti eum, et ego eum tollam.
“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.”
16 Dicit ei Jesus: Maria. Conversa illa, dicit ei: Rabboni (quod dicitur Magister).
“Mary!” said Jesus. She turned round, and exclaimed in Hebrew: “Rabboni!” (or, as we should say, ‘Teacher’).
17 Dicit ei Jesus: Noli me tangere, nondum enim ascendi ad Patrem meum: vade autem ad fratres meos, et dic eis: Ascendo ad Patrem meum, et Patrem vestrum, Deum meum, et Deum vestrum.
“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.”
18 Venit Maria Magdalene annuntians discipulis: Quia vidi Dominum, et hæc dixit mihi.
Mary of Magdala went and told the disciples that she had seen the Master, and that he had said this to her.
19 Cum ergo sero esset die illo, una sabbatorum, et fores essent clausæ, ubi erant discipuli congregati propter metum Judæorum: venit Jesus, et stetit in medio, et dixit eis: Pax vobis.
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 for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said: “Peace be with you”;
20 Et cum hoc dixisset, ostendit eis manus et latus. Gavisi sunt ergo discipuli, viso Domino.
after which he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy when they saw the Master.
21 Dixit ergo eis iterum: Pax vobis. Sicut misit me Pater, et ego mitto vos.
Again Jesus said to them: “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me as his Messenger, so I am sending you.”
22 Hæc cum dixisset, insufflavit, et dixit eis: Accipite Spiritum Sanctum:
After saying this, he breathed on them, and said: “Receive the Holy Spirit;
23 quorum remiseritis peccata, remittuntur eis: et quorum retinueritis, retenta sunt.
if you remit any one’s sins, they have been remitted; and, if you retain them, they have been retained.”
24 Thomas autem unus ex duodecim, qui dicitur Didymus, non erat cum eis quando venit Jesus.
But Thomas, one of the Twelve, called ‘The Twin,’ was not with them when Jesus came;
25 Dixerunt ergo ei alii discipuli: Vidimus Dominum. Ille autem dixit eis: Nisi videro in manibus ejus fixuram clavorum, et mittam digitum meum in locum clavorum, et mittam manum meam in latus ejus, non credam.
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.”
26 Et post dies octo, iterum erant discipuli ejus intus, et Thomas cum eis. Venit Jesus januis clausis, et stetit in medio, et dixit: Pax vobis.
A week later the disciples were again in the house, and Thomas with them. After the doors had been shut, Jesus came and stood among them, and said: “Peace be with you.”
27 Deinde dicit Thomæ: Infer digitum tuum huc, et vide manus meas, et affer manum tuam, et mitte in latus meum: et noli esse incredulus, sed fidelis.
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.”
28 Respondit Thomas, et dixit ei: Dominus meus et Deus meus.
And Thomas exclaimed: “My Master, and my God!”
29 Dixit ei Jesus: Quia vidisti me, Thoma, credidisti: beati qui non viderunt, et crediderunt.
“Is it because you have seen me that you have believed?” said Jesus. “Blessed are they who have not seen, and yet have believed!”
30 Multa quidem et alia signa fecit Jesus in conspectu discipulorum suorum, quæ non sunt scripta in libro hoc.
There were many other signs of his mission that Jesus gave in presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book;
31 Hæc autem scripta sunt ut credatis, quia Jesus est Christus Filius Dei: et ut credentes, vitam habeatis in nomine ejus.
but these have been recorded 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.
