耶稣复活

20 周日清晨,天还未亮,抹大拉的玛丽亚就来到坟墓前,发现封住墓口的石头已经挪开了。 她赶快跑去告诉西门·彼得和耶稣所爱的那个门徒,说:“有人把主从坟墓里搬走了,不知放到哪里去了。”

彼得和那个门徒听了就出去,往坟墓那边跑。 两个人一起跑,但那个门徒比彼得跑得快,所以先到了坟墓。 他并没有进去,只是探头往里看,看见细麻布还在那里。 西门·彼得随后也来了,他进到里边,看到细麻布放在那里, 耶稣的裹头巾则卷着放在另一处,没有和细麻布放在一起。 先到的那个门徒也进来了,看见这种情形,就信了。 因为他们还不明白圣经上有关耶稣必要从死里复活的话。 10 然后,他们各自回家去了。

11 玛丽亚却站在坟墓外面哭泣,边哭边往坟墓里面看, 12 看见两个穿着白衣的天使分别坐在原来安放耶稣遗体的头脚两端。

13 天使对她说:“妇人,你为什么哭呢?”

她说:“有人把我的主搬走了,不知道放在什么地方。” 14 说完,她转过身来,看见耶稣站在那里,但她不知道那就是耶稣。

15 耶稣问她:“妇人,你为什么哭?你在找谁?”

玛丽亚还以为祂是园丁,就说:“先生,如果是你把祂搬走了,请告诉我放在哪里了,我好搬回来。”

16 耶稣说:“玛丽亚。”

玛丽亚立即转过头来用希伯来话对祂说:“拉波尼!”拉波尼的意思是老师。

17 耶稣说:“不要拉着我,我还没有升到父那里。你先去找我的众弟兄,告诉他们我要升天去见我的父,也是你们的父;去见我的上帝,也是你们的上帝。”

18 抹大拉的玛丽亚就去向门徒报讯,说:“我看见主了!”又把主对她说的话告诉门徒。

向门徒显现

19 当天晚上,即周日晚上,门徒因为害怕犹太人,把房门都关上了。忽然,耶稣来了,站在他们当中,对他们说:“愿你们平安!” 20 说完,让他们看祂的手和肋旁。门徒看见主,十分欢喜。

21 耶稣又说:“愿你们平安!父怎样差遣我,我也照样差遣你们。” 22 然后祂向他们吹了一口气,说:“你们领受圣灵吧! 23 你们赦免谁的罪,谁的罪就得到赦免;你们不赦免谁的罪,谁的罪就得不到赦免。”

向多马显现

24 耶稣显现的时候,十二个门徒中绰号“双胞胎”的多马不在场。 25 其他门徒告诉他:“我们看见主了!”可是多马说:“除非我亲眼看见祂手上的钉痕,用手摸到祂手上的钉痕和祂的肋旁,否则我决不信。”

26 过了八天,门徒又聚在一起,多马也在,门都关着。突然耶稣来了,站在他们当中说:“愿你们平安!” 27 然后对多马说:“把你的指头放在我手上摸摸看,伸出手来摸摸我的肋旁。不要怀疑,要信!”

28 多马回答说:“我的主,我的上帝!”

29 耶稣说:“你看见我才信,那些没有看见就信的人有福了。”

30 耶稣在门徒面前还行了许多神迹,只是没有记在这本书里。 31 而记载这些事的目的是为了使你们相信耶稣就是基督,是上帝的儿子,并且使你们这些信祂的人可以靠祂的名得到生命。

El sepulcro vacío (Mt 28,1.8; Mc 16,1-4.7; Lc 24,1-39.12)

20 El primer día de la semana, muy de mañana, antes incluso de amanecer, María Magdalena fue al sepulcro y vio que estaba quitada la piedra que tapaba la entrada. Volvió entonces corriendo adonde estaban Pedro y el otro discípulo a quien Jesús tanto quería y les dijo:

— Se han llevado del sepulcro al Señor y no sabemos dónde lo han puesto.

Pedro y el otro discípulo salieron inmediatamente hacia el sepulcro. Iban corriendo los dos juntos, pero el otro discípulo corrió más deprisa que Pedro y llegó primero al sepulcro. Se asomó al interior y vio las vendas de lino en el suelo; pero no entró. Después, tras sus huellas, llegó Simón Pedro y entró en el sepulcro. Vio las vendas de lino en el suelo y vio también el paño que habían colocado alrededor de la cabeza de Jesús. Sólo que el paño no estaba en el suelo con las vendas, sino bien doblado y colocado aparte. Entonces entró también el otro discípulo, el que había llegado primero al sepulcro; vio y creyó. Y es que hasta entonces no habían entendido la Escritura, según la cual Jesús tenía que resucitar triunfante de la muerte. 10 Después, los discípulos regresaron a casa.

Aparición a María Magdalena (Mc 16,9-11)

11 María se había quedado fuera, llorando junto al sepulcro. Sin cesar de llorar, se asomó al interior del sepulcro 12 y vio dos ángeles vestidos de blanco, sentados en el lugar donde había estado el cuerpo de Jesús, uno a la cabecera y otro a los pies. 13 Los ángeles le preguntaron:

— Mujer, ¿por qué lloras?

Ella contestó:

— Porque se han llevado a mi Señor y no sé dónde lo han puesto.

14 Volvió entonces la vista atrás, y vio a Jesús que estaba allí, pero no lo reconoció. 15 Jesús le preguntó:

— Mujer, ¿por qué lloras? ¿A quién estás buscando?

Ella, creyendo que era el jardinero, le contestó:

— Señor, si te lo has llevado tú, dime dónde lo has puesto y yo misma iré a recogerlo.

16 Entonces Jesús la llamó por su nombre:

— ¡María!

Ella se volvió y exclamó en arameo:

— ¡Rabboní! (que quiere decir “Maestro”).

17 Jesús le dijo:

— No me retengas, porque todavía no he ido a mi Padre. Anda, ve y diles a mis hermanos que voy a mi Padre, que es también vuestro Padre; a mi Dios, que es también vuestro Dios.

18 María Magdalena fue a donde estaban los discípulos y les anunció:

— He visto al Señor y esto es lo que me ha encargado.

Jesús se aparece a los discípulos (Lc 24,36-49)

19 Aquel mismo primer día de la semana, al anochecer, estaban reunidos los discípulos en una casa, con las puertas bien cerradas por miedo a los judíos. Se presentó Jesús en medio de ellos y les dijo:

— La paz esté con vosotros.

20 Dicho lo cual les enseñó las manos y el costado. Los discípulos se llenaron de alegría al ver al Señor. 21 Jesús volvió a decirles:

— La paz esté con vosotros. Como el Padre me envió a mí, así os envío yo a vosotros.

22 Sopló entonces sobre ellos y les dijo:

— Recibid el Espíritu Santo. 23 A quienes perdonéis los pecados, les quedarán perdonados; a quienes no se los perdonéis, les quedarán sin perdonar.

Jesús y Tomás

24 Tomás, uno del grupo de los doce, a quien llamaban “el Mellizo”, no estaba con ellos cuando se les presentó Jesús. 25 Así que le dijeron los otros discípulos:

— Hemos visto al Señor.

A lo que Tomás contestó:

— Si no veo en sus manos la señal de los clavos; más aún, si no meto mi dedo en la señal dejada por los clavos y mi mano en la herida del costado, no lo creeré.

26 Ocho días después, se hallaban también reunidos en casa los discípulos, y Tomás con ellos. Aunque tenían las puertas bien cerradas, Jesús se presentó allí en medio y les dijo:

— La paz esté con vosotros.

27 Después dijo a Tomás:

— Trae aquí tu dedo y mira mis manos; trae tu mano y métela en la herida de mi costado. Y no seas incrédulo, sino creyente.

28 Tomás contestó:

— ¡Señor mío y Dios mío!

29 Jesús le dijo:

— ¿Crees porque has visto? ¡Dichosos los que crean sin haber visto!

Finalidad del evangelio

30 Jesús hizo en presencia de sus discípulos otros muchos milagros que no han sido recogidos en este libro. 31 Estos han sido narrados para que creáis que Jesús es el Mesías, el Hijo de Dios, y para que, creyendo, tengáis vida por medio de él.

20 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been removed from (lifted out of the groove across the entrance of) the tomb.

So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus [tenderly] loved, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him!

Upon this, Peter and the other disciple came out and they went toward the tomb.

And they came running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and arrived at the tomb first.

And stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not enter.

Then Simon Peter came up, following him, and went into the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there;

But the burial napkin (kerchief) which had been around Jesus’ head, was not lying with the other linen cloths, but was [still] [a]rolled up (wrapped round and round) in a place by itself.

Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went in too; and he saw and was convinced and believed.

For as yet they did not know (understand) the statement of Scripture that He must rise again from the dead.(A)

10 Then the disciples went back again to their homes (lodging places).

11 But Mary remained standing outside the tomb sobbing. As she wept, she stooped down [and looked] into the tomb.

12 And she saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13 And they said to her, Woman, why are you sobbing? She told them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.

14 On saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing [there], but she did not know (recognize) that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you crying [so]? For Whom are you looking? Supposing that it was the gardener, she replied, Sir, if you carried Him away from here, tell me where you have put Him and I will take Him away.

16 Jesus said to her, Mary! Turning around she said to Him in Hebrew, Rabboni!—which means Teacher or Master.

17 Jesus said to her, Do not cling to Me [do not hold Me], for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to My brethren and tell them, I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.

18 Away came Mary Magdalene, bringing the disciples news (word) that she had seen the Lord and that He had said these things to her.

19 Then on that same first day of the week, when it was evening, though the disciples were behind closed doors for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, Peace to you!

20 So saying, He showed them His hands and His side. And when the disciples saw the Lord, they were filled with joy (delight, exultation, ecstasy, rapture).

21 Then Jesus said to them again, Peace to you! [Just] as the Father has sent Me forth, so I am sending you.

22 And having said this, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit!

23 [Now having received the Holy Spirit, and being [b]led and directed by Him] if you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained.

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

25 So the other disciples kept telling him, We have seen the Lord! But he said to them, Unless I see in His hands the marks made by the nails and put my finger into the nail prints, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe [it].

26 Eight days later His disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, though they were behind closed doors, and stood among them and said, Peace to you!

27 Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here, and see My hands; and put out your hand and place [it] in My side. Do not be faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe!

28 Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God!

29 Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and [c]to be envied are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and trusted and relied on Me.

30 There are also many other signs and miracles which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples which are not written in this book.

31 But these are written (recorded) in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ (the Anointed One), the Son of God, and that through believing and cleaving to and trusting and relying upon Him you may have life through (in) His name [[d]through Who He is].(B)

The Empty Tomb(A)

20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene(B) went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.(C) So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved,(D) and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”(E)

So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.(F) Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in(G) at the strips of linen(H) lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head.(I) The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,(J) also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture(K) that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)(L) 10 Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb(M) 12 and saw two angels in white,(N) seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”(O)

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”(P) 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,(Q) but she did not realize that it was Jesus.(R)

15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?(S) Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic,(T) “Rabboni!”(U) (which means “Teacher”).

17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers(V) and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father(W) and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

18 Mary Magdalene(X) went to the disciples(Y) with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

19 On the evening of that first day of the week, when the disciples were together, with the doors locked for fear of the Jewish leaders,(Z) Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace(AA) be with you!”(AB) 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side.(AC) The disciples were overjoyed(AD) when they saw the Lord.

21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you!(AE) As the Father has sent me,(AF) I am sending you.”(AG) 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.(AH) 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”(AI)

Jesus Appears to Thomas

24 Now Thomas(AJ) (also known as Didymus[a]), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side,(AK) I will not believe.”(AL)

26 A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace(AM) be with you!”(AN) 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”(AO)

28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed;(AP) blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”(AQ)

The Purpose of John’s Gospel

30 Jesus performed many other signs(AR) in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.(AS) 31 But these are written that you may believe[b](AT) that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,(AU) and that by believing you may have life in his name.(AV)
