John 20

¹ Now, on one of the sabbaths, Miriam Magdalene is coming to the tomb in the morning, there being still darkness, and is observing the stone taken away from the door of the tomb. ² She is racing, then, and is coming to Simon Peter and to the other disciple of whom Jesus was fond, and she is saying to them, "They take away the Lord out of the tomb and we are not aware where they place Him!" ³ Peter, then, and the other disciple came out, and they came to the tomb. ⁴ Now the two raced alike, and the other disciple runs more swiftly before Peter and came first to the tomb. ⁵ And, peering in, he is observing the swathings lying. Howbeit, he did not enter. ⁶ Simon Peter also, then, is coming, following him, and he entered into the tomb and he is beholding the swathings lying, ⁷ and the handkerchief which was on His head, not lying with the swathings, but folded up in one place apart. ⁸ The other disciple also, then, who came first to the tomb, then entered, and he perceived and believes, ⁹ for not as yet were they aware of the scripture that He must rise from among the dead. ¹⁰ The disciples, then, came away again to their own. ¹¹ Now Mary stood outside at the tomb, lamenting. As, then, she lamented, she peers into the tomb ¹² and is beholding two messengers in white seated, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus was laid. ¹³ And they are saying to her, "Woman, why are you lamenting?" And she is saying to them that "They take away my Lord, and I am not aware where they place Him!" ¹⁴ Saying these things, she turned behind, and is beholding Jesus standing, and she was not aware that it is Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus is saying to her, "Woman, why are you lamenting? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing that He is the gardener, is saying to Him, "Lord, if you bear Him off, tell me where you place Him, and I will take Him away." ¹⁶ Jesus is saying to her, "Miriam!" Now, being turned, she is saying to Him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" ¹⁷ which is the term for Teacher. Jesus is saying to her, "Do not touch Me, for not as yet have I ascended to My Father. Now go to My brethren, and say to them that I said, 'Lo! I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'" ¹⁸ Miriam Magdalene is coming, reporting to the disciples that "I have seen the Lord!" - and these things He said to her. ¹⁹ It being, then, the evening of that day, one of the sabbaths, and the doors having been locked where the disciples were gathered together, because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and is saying to them, "Peace to you!" ²⁰ And saying this, He shows them His hands also, and His side. The disciples, then, rejoiced at perceiving the Lord. ²¹ Jesus, then, said to them again, "Peace to you! According as the Father has commissioned Me, I also am sending you." ²² And saying this, He exhales and is saying to them, "Get holy spirit! ²³ If you should be forgiving anyone's sins, they have been forgiven them. If anyone's you should be holding, they are held." ²⁴ Now Thomas, one of the twelve, termed Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. ²⁵ The other disciples, then, said to him, "We have seen the Lord!" Yet he said to them, "Should I not perceive in His hands the print of the nails, and thrust my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will by no means be believing." ²⁶ And after eight days His disciples were again within, and Thomas was with them. The doors having been locked, Jesus is coming and stood in the midst and said, "Peace to you!" ²⁷ Thereafter He is saying to Thomas, "Bring you finger here and perceive My hands, and bring your hand and thrust it into My side, and do not become unbelieving, but believing." ²⁸ And Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!" ²⁹ Now Jesus is saying to him, "Seeing that you have seen Me, you have believed. Happy are those who are not perceiving and believe." ³⁰ Indeed then, many other signs also Jesus does, in the sight of His disciples, which are not written in this scroll. ³¹ Yet these are written that you should be believing that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, believing, you may have life eonian in His name.
