John 20

1 Now on the first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.2 She 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.3 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.4 And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;5 and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.6 Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,7 and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.8 Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.10 So the disciples went away again unto their own home.11 But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;12 and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.13 And 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.14 When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.15 Jesus 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.16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.17 Jesus 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.18 Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and that he had said these things unto her.19 When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of 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.20 And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.21 Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you.22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:23 whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.25 The 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 hand into his side, I will not believe.26 And 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.27 Then 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.28 Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.29 Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.30 Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book:31 but 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

The Resurrection

1 Now very early on the first day of the week,s while it was still dark, Mary Magdalenes came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been moved away from the entrance.t2 So she went runningt to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus loved and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”3 Then Peter and the other disciple set out to go to the tomb.t4 The two were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peters and reached the tomb first.t5 He bent downs and saw the strips of linen cloth lying there,s but he did not go in.6 Then Simon Peter, who had been following him, arrived and went right into the tomb. He sawt the strips of linen cloth lying there,7 and the face cloth,s which had been around Jesus’ head, not lying with the strips of linen cloth but rolled up in a place by itself.s8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, came in, and he saw and believed.s

9 (For they did not yet understandt the scripture that Jesust must rise from the dead.)s

Jesus’ Appearance to Mary Magdalene

10 So the disciples went back to their homes.11 But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she bent down and looked into the tomb.12 And she saw two angels in white sitting where Jesus’ body had been lying, one at the head and one at the feet.13 They saidt to her, “Woman,s why are you weeping?” Mary replied,t “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put him!”

14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,t but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” Because shet thought he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.”16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” Shet turned and said to him in Aramaic,t “Rabboni”s (which means Teacher).s17 Jesus replied,t “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father. Go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

18 Mary Magdalene came and informed the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told themt whatt Jesust had said to her.t

Jesus’ Appearance to the Disciples

19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the disciples had gathered togethert and locked the doorsts of the placet because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders.t Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.”20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.s21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, I also send you.”22 And after he said this, he breathed on them and said,t “Receive the Holy Spirit.s

23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven;t if you retain anyone’s sins, they are retained.”s

The Response of Thomas

24 Now Thomas (called Didymus),s one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 The other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied,t “Unless I see the woundst from the nails in his hands, and put my finger into the wounds from the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe it!”t
26 Eight days later the disciples were again together in the house,t and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked,ts Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”27 Then he said to Thomas, “Putt your finger here, and examinet my hands. Extendt your hand and put itt into my side. Do not continue in your unbelief, but believe.”t28 Thomas replied to him,t “My Lord and my God!”s

29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are the peoplet who have not seen and yet have believed.”t
30 Now Jesus performedt many other miraculous signs in the presence of thes disciples, which are not recordedt in this book.s

31 But theset are recordedt so that you may believes that Jesus is the Christ,ts the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.s
