John 20
Joh 20:1 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.
Joh 20:2 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!"
Joh 20:3 Therefore
Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.
Joh 20:4 They both ran
together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb
first.
Joh 20:5 Stooping and
looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn't enter in.
Joh 20:6 Then Simon
Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the
linen cloths lying,
Joh 20:7 and the cloth
that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but
rolled up in a place by itself.
Joh 20:8 So then the
other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw
and believed.
Joh 20:9 For as yet
they didn't know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
Joh 20:10 So the
disciples went away again to their own homes.
Joh 20:11 But Mary was
standing outside at the tomb weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped
and looked into the tomb,
Joh 20:12 and she saw
two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet,
where the body of Jesus had lain.
Joh 20:13 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."
Joh 20:14 When she had
said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn't know
that it was Jesus.
Joh 20:15 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."
Joh 20:16 Jesus said to
her, "Mary." She turned and said to him, "Rhabbouni!"
which is to say, "Teacher!"
Joh 20:17 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.' "
Joh 20:18 Mary
Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and
that he had said these things to her.
Joh 20:19 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."
Joh 20:20 When he had
said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples
therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.
Joh 20:21 Jesus
therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father
has sent me, even so I send you."
Joh 20:22 When he had
said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the
Holy Spirit!
Joh 20:23 Whoever's
sins you forgive, they are forgiven them. Whoever's sins you retain,
they have been retained."
Joh 20:24 But Thomas,
one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn't with them when Jesus came.
Joh 20:25 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."
Joh 20:26 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."
Joh 20:27 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."
Joh 20:28 Thomas
answered him, "My Lord and my God!"
Joh 20:29 Jesus said to
him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are
those who have not seen, and have believed."
Joh 20:30 Therefore
Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which
are not written in this book;
Joh 20:31 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.
