1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while
it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.
2 Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple
whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the
tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!”
3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward
the tomb. 4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and
came to the tomb first. 5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths
lying, yet he didn’t enter in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and
entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying, 7 and the cloth that
had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a
place by itself. 8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb
also entered in, and he saw and believed. 9 For as yet they didn’t know
the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10 So the disciples went
away again to their own homes.
11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she
stooped and looked into the tomb, 12 and she saw two angels in white
sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had
lain. 13 They told her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”
She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know
where they have laid him.” 14 When she had said this, she turned around
and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking
for?”
She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried
him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”
She turned and said to him, “Rhabbouni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”
17 Jesus said to her, “Don’t touch me, for I haven’t yet ascended to
my Father; but 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 told the disciples that she had seen the Lord,
and that he had said these things to her. 19 When therefore it was
evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were
locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came
and stood in the midst, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
20 When he had said this, he showed 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 to you. As the Father has sent me, even so
I send you.” 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said
to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit! 23 Whoever’s sins you
forgive, they are forgiven them. Whoever’s sins you retain, they have
been retained.”
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when
Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen
the Lord!”
But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and
put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 After eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas was with
them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the midst, and said,
“Peace be to you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your
finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side.
Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”
28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me,*1 you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen, and have
believed.”
30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples,
which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written, that
you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that
believing you may have life in his name.
