John 20

¹Now on the firstdayof the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.

²She runneth therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

³Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

⁴And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;

⁵and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.

⁶Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,

⁷and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁸Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.

⁹For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

¹⁰So the disciples went away again unto their own home.

¹¹But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;

¹²and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹³And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

¹⁴When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

¹⁵Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

¹⁶Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.

¹⁷Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.

¹⁸Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and that he had said these things unto her.

¹⁹When therefore it was evening, on that day, the firstdayof the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

²⁰And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.

²¹Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

²²And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:

²³whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁵The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.

²⁶And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

²⁷Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

²⁸Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

²⁹Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

³⁰Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:

³¹but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.

John 20

¹And on the first [day] of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.

²She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

³Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb.

⁴And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb,

⁵and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in.

⁶Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying,

⁷and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by itself.

⁸Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed;

⁹for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among [the] dead.

¹⁰The disciples therefore went away again to their own home.

¹¹But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore she wept, she stooped down into the tomb,

¹²and beholds two angels sitting in white [garments], one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹³And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

¹⁴Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.

¹⁵Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

¹⁶Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.

¹⁷Jesus says 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, and [to] myGod and yourGod.

¹⁸Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had said these things to her.

¹⁹When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first [day] of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace [be] to you.

²⁰And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.

²¹[Jesus] said therefore again to them, Peace [be] to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.

²²And having said this, he breathed into [them], and says to them, Receive [the] Holy Spirit:

²³whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁵The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But 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.

²⁶And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace [be] to you.

²⁷Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here and see my hands; and bring thy hand and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.

²⁸Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and myGod.

²⁹Jesus says to him, Because thou hast seen me thou hast believed: blessed they who have not seen and have believed.

³⁰Many other signs therefore also Jesus did before his disciples, which are not written in this book;

³¹but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son ofGod, and that believing ye might have life in his name.
