aNow on the first
day of the week
bMary
Magdalene
*came
early
to the tomb
, while it *was still
dark
, and *saw
cthe stone
already taken
away
from the tomb
.
So she *ran
and *came
to Simon
Peter
and to the other
adisciple
whom
Jesus
loved
, and *said
to them, " bThey have taken
away
the Lord
out of the tomb
, and we do not know
where
they have laid
Him."
aSo Peter
and the other
disciple
went
forth
, and they were going
to the tomb
.
The two were running
together
; and the other
disciple
ran
ahead
faster
than Peter
and came
to the tomb
first
;
and astooping and looking
in, he *saw
the blinen
wrappings
lying
there; but he did not go
in.
And so Simon
Peter
also
*came
, following
him, and entered
the tomb
; and he *saw
the linen
wrappings
lying
there,
and athe face-cloth which
had been
on His head
, not lying
with the blinen
wrappings
, but rolled
up in a place
by itself
.
So the other
disciple
who ahad first
come
to the tomb
then
also
entered
, and he saw
and believed
.
For as yet athey did not understand
the Scripture
, bthat He must
rise
again
from the dead
.
So the disciples
went
away
again
ato their own
homes
.
aBut Mary was standing
outside
the tomb
weeping
; and so
, as she wept
, she bstooped
and looked
into the tomb
;
and she *saw atwo
angels
in white
sitting
, one
at the head
and one
at the feet
, where
the body
of Jesus
had been lying
.
And they *said to her, " aWoman
, why
are you weeping
?" She *said
to them, "Because
bthey have taken
away
my Lord
, and I do not know
where
they have laid
Him."
When she had said this
, she turned
around
and * asaw
Jesus
standing
there, and bdid not know
that it was Jesus
.
Jesus *said
to her, " aWoman
, why
are you weeping
? Whom
are you seeking
?" Supposing
Him to be the gardener
, she *said
to Him, "Sir
, if
you have carried
Him away
, tell
me where
you have laid
Him, and I will take
Him away
."
Jesus *said
to her, "Mary
!" She turned
and *said
to Him ain 1Hebrew
, " bRabboni
!" (which
means
, Teacher
).
Jesus *said
to her, "Stop
clinging
to Me, for I have not yet
ascended
to the Father
; but go
to aMy brethren
and say
to them, `I bascend
to My Father
and your Father
, and My God
and your God
.' "
aMary Magdalene
*came
, bannouncing
to the disciples
, "I have seen
the Lord
," and that He had said
these
things
to her.
So when it was evening
on that day
, the first
day of the week
, and when the doors
were shut
where
the disciples
were, for afear
of the Jews
, Jesus
came
and stood
in their midst
and *said
to them, " 1 bPeace
be with you."
And when He had said this
, aHe showed
them both
His hands
and His side
. The disciples
then
brejoiced
when they saw
the Lord
.
So Jesus
said
to them again
, " aPeace
be with you; bas the Father
has sent
Me, I also
send
you."
And when He had said this
, He breathed
on them and *said
to them, "Receive
the Holy
Spirit
.
" aIf you forgive
the sins
of any
, their sins 1have been forgiven
them; if
you retain
the sins of any
, they have been retained
."
But aThomas, one
of bthe twelve
, called
1 aDidymus
, was not with them when
Jesus
came
.
So the other
disciples
were saying
to him, "We have seen
the Lord
!" But he said
to them, "Unless
I see
in aHis hands
the imprint
of the nails
, and put
my finger
into the place
of the nails
, and put
my hand
into His side
, bI will not believe
."
1After eight
days
His disciples
were again
inside
, and Thomas
with them. Jesus
*came
, the doors
having been 2shut
, and stood
in their midst
and said
, " aPeace
be with you."
Then He *said
to Thomas
, " aReach
here
with your finger
, and see
My hands
; and reach
here your hand
and put
it into My side
; and do not be unbelieving
, but believing
."
Thomas answered
and said
to Him, "My Lord
and my God
!"
Jesus *said
to him, "Because
you have seen
Me, have you believed
? aBlessed
are they who did not see
, and yet believed
."
aTherefore many
other
1 bsigns
Jesus
also
performed
in the presence
of the disciples
, which
are not written
in this
book
;
but these have been written
aso
that you may believe
that Jesus
is 1the Christ
, bthe Son
of God
; and that cbelieving
you may have
life
in His name
.
