John

20 But on the first day of the week Mary the Magdalene cometh early, while it is yet dark, unto the tomb,—and beholdeth the stone already taken away out of the tomb.

2 She runneth therefore and cometh unto Simon Peter and unto the other disciple whom Jesus dearly 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 out, and the other disciple,—and they were going unto the tomb;

4 and the two were running together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first unto the tomb;

5 and stooping aside beholdeth lying the linen-bandages, nevertheless he entered not.

6 So Simon Peter also cometh following him, and entered into the tomb and vieweth the linen-bandages lying,—

7 and the napkin which was upon his head not with the linen-bandages lying, but apart folded up into one place.

8 Then entered therefore the other disciple also who had come first unto the tomb, and he saw and believed.

9 For not yet knew they the Scripture, that he must needs from among the dead arise.

10 The disciples therefore departed again, by themselves.

11 Howbeit Mary remained standing against the tomb outside, weeping. So then as she wept she stooped aside into the tomb,

12 and beholdeth two messengers in white garments sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where had been lying the body of Jesus.

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

14 These things saying she turned round and seeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus saith unto her—Woman! why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She supposing he was 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 turning saith unto him in Hebrew—Rabboni! which meaneth Teacher.

17 Jesus saith unto her—Be not detaining me, for not yet have I ascended unto the Father; But be going unto my disciples, and say unto them—I am ascending unto my Father and your Father and my God and your God.

18 Mary the Magdalene cometh, bringing tidings unto the disciples—I have seen the Lord! and that these things he had said unto her.

19 It being late therefore on that day, the first of the week,—and the doors having been made fast 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 this saying he pointed out both his hands and his side unto them. The disciples therefore rejoiced, seeing the Lord.

21 Jesus therefore said unto them again—Peace be unto you! Just as my Father sent me forth I also send you.

22 And this saying he breathed strongly, and saith unto them—Receive ye Holy Spirit:—

23 Whosesoever sins ye shall remit They are remitted unto them, Whosesoever ye shall retain They are retained.

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

25 The other disciples therefore were saying unto him—We have seen the Lord! But he said unto them—Except I see in his hands the print of the nails and press my finger into the print of the nails, and press my hand into his side in nowise will I believe.

26 And eight days after his disciples again were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh—the doors having been made fast—and stood in the midst, and said—Peace be unto you!

27 Then saith he unto Thomas—Reach thy finger hither and see my hands, and reach thy hand and press into my side,—and become not disbelieving but believing.

28 Thomas answered and said unto him—My Lord and my God!

29 Jesus saith unto him—Because thou hast seen me hast thou believed? Happy they who have not seen, and yet have believed!

30 Many other signs doubtless did Jesus in 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.
