空墓穴

20 在一周头一天[a]的清晨,天还黑的时候,茉大拉玛丽亚就来到墓穴那里,看见那石头已经从墓穴被挪开了。 她就跑到西门彼得和耶稣所爱的那另一个门徒那里去,对他们说:“他们从墓穴里把主挪走了,我们不知道他们把他放在哪里!”

于是彼得和那另一个门徒就出来,往墓穴去。 两个人一起跑,那另一个门徒跑得比彼得快一点,先到了墓穴。 他弯腰去看,见那细麻布条放在那里,不过他没有进去。 西门彼得跟着他,也到了,并且进了墓穴,看见那细麻布条放在那里, 也看见原来在耶稣头上的那块头巾,没有与那细麻布条放在一起,被卷了起来,分开放在一边。 这时候,先来到墓穴的那另一个门徒也进去了。他看见了,就信了。 原来,他们从来没有明白过经上所说“他必须从死人中复活”的那句话。 10 于是那些门徒就离开,回到他们的住处去了。

向茉大拉的玛丽亚显现

11 玛丽亚却站在墓穴外面哭。她哭着,弯腰往墓穴里看, 12 看见两位身穿白衣的天使,坐在原来安放耶稣遗体的地方,一位在头的地方,一位在脚的地方。

13 天使们问她:“妇人,你为什么哭?”

她说:“因为他们把我的主挪走了,我不知道他们把他放在哪里。” 14 说了这些话,她转过身来,看见耶稣站在那里,却没有认出他就是耶稣。

15 耶稣说:“妇人,你为什么哭呢?你在找谁?”

玛丽亚以为他是园丁,就对他说:“先生,如果是你把他抬走的,就请告诉我,你把他放在哪里了,我好把他取回来。”

16 耶稣对她说:玛丽亚!”

她转过身,用希伯来[b]对耶稣说:“拉波尼[c]!”——这意思是“老师”。

17 耶稣说:“不要碰我,因为我还没有上到父那里。你到我弟兄们那里去告诉他们:我要上到我的父那里,他也是你们的父;我要上到我的神那里,他也是你们的神。”

18 茉大拉玛丽亚就去告诉门徒们:“我看到主了!”她又把耶稣对她说的这些话告诉他们。

向门徒们显现

19 那日,也就是一周的头一天[d],傍晚的时候,门徒们所在地方的门户已经关上了,因为他们怕那些犹太人。耶稣出现了,站在他们当中,对他们说:“愿你们平安!”

20 说了这话,他把手和肋旁给他们看。门徒们看见了主,就欢喜。

21 耶稣又对他们说:“愿你们平安!正如父差派了我,我也要派遣你们。” 22 说了这话,耶稣向他们吹了一口气,说:“领受圣灵吧! 23 你们赦免谁的罪,谁的罪就已经被赦免了;你们留下谁的罪,谁的罪就已经被留下了。”

向多马显现

24 当耶稣出现的时候,十二使徒[e]中那叫迪杜马[f]多马没有与他们在一起。 25 后来,其他的门徒就告诉他:“我们看到主了!”

他却说:“我如果不看到他手上的钉痕,把指头放进那钉痕,再把手放进他的肋旁,我就绝不相信!”

26 八天后,耶稣的门徒们又在屋里,多马也与他们在一起。门户已经关上了,耶稣却出现,站在他们当中说:“愿你们平安!”

27 然后他对多马说:“把你的指头伸到这里来,看看我的手吧。伸出你的手来,放进我的肋旁吧。不要不信,而要信!”

28 多马回答耶稣,说:“我的主,我的神!”

29 耶稣对他说:“你因为看到了我才信吗?那没有看到就信的人,是蒙福的。”

本书的目的

30 事实上,耶稣在他的门徒们面前还行了很多别的神迹,没有记在这部书里。 31 但这些事被记下来,是要你们相信耶稣就是基督、是神的儿子;并且使你们因着信,就奉他的名有生命。

Jesus uppstår från de döda

20 Tidigt på söndagsmorgonen, medan det ännu var mörkt, kom Maria från Magdala till graven och upptäckte att stenen var bortrullad från ingången.

Hon sprang då därifrån och letade reda på Petrus och den lärjunge som Jesus älskade och sa: De har tagit bort Herrens kropp från graven, och jag vet inte var de har lagt den.

3-4 Då rusade båda till graven för att se efter. Den andre lärjungen sprang fortare än Petrus och kom dit först

och böjde sig och tittade in och såg linneduken ligga där, men han gick inte in.

Sedan kom Petrus och han gick in. Han lade också märke till linneduken som låg där,

medan den duk, som täckt Jesu huvud, var hoprullad i en rulle och låg för sig.

Sedan gick också den andre lärjungen in och såg och trodde att han uppstått -

för till dess hade de inte fattat att Skrifterna sa att Jesus skulle återvända till livet!

Jesus visar sig för Maria Magdalena

10 Sedan gick de båda lärjungarna hem.

11 Under tiden hade Maria gått tillbaka till graven och stod utanför den och grät. Och medan hon grät lutade hon sig in

12 och såg då två vitklädda änglar sitta där Jesu kropp hade legat, den ene vid huvudets plats och den andre vid fötternas.

13 Varför gråter du? frågade änglarna henne.Därför att de har tagit bort min Herre, svarade hon, och jag vet inte var de har lagt honom.

14 Hon kastade en blick över axeln och såg att någon stod bakom henne. Men att det var Jesus märkte hon inte.

15 Varför gråter du? frågade han henne. Vem letar du efter? Hon trodde det var trädgårdsmästaren och svarade därför:Om du har tagit bort honom, tala då om för mig var du har lagt honom, så ska jag gå och hämta honom.

16 Maria, sa Jesus. Hon ryckte till och vände sig mot honom.Herre! utropade hon.

17 Rör mig inte, sa han, för jag har ännu inte återvänt till Fadern. Men gå och leta reda på mina bröder och tala om för dem att jag ska gå till min Far och er Far, min Gud och er Gud.

18 Maria från Magdala sprang då till lärjungarna och sa: Jag har sett Herren. Sedan berättade hon vad han hade sagt.

Jesus visar sig för lärjungarna bakom stängda dörrar

19 På kvällen samma dag samlades lärjungarna bakom stängda dörrar av rädsla för de judiska ledarna. Då stod plötsligt Jesus mitt ibland dem och sa till dem: Frid vare med er!

20 Så visade han dem sina händer och sin sida. Och deras glädje visste inga gränser när de såg sin Herre igen.

21 Han talade till dem och sa: Som Fadern har sänt mig, så sänder också jag er.

22 Sedan andades han på dem och sa till dem: Ta emot den helige Ande.

23 Om ni förlåter någons synder så är de förlåtna, men om ni vägrar att förlåta dem så blir de inte förlåtna.

Jesus visar sig för alla de elva lärjungarna

24 En av lärjungarna, Tomas Tvillingen, hade inte varit med vid detta tillfälle.

25 När de gång på gång berättade för honom: Vi har sett Herren, svarade han: Jag tror det inte förrän jag med egna ögon ser hålen efter spikarna i hans händer. Och jag vill ta på dem med mina fingrar, och med min hand vill jag röra vid såren i hans sida. Annars kan jag inte tro.

26 Åtta dagar senare var lärjungarna samlade igen, och då var Tomas tillsammans med dem och dörrarna var låsta. Men plötsligt stod Jesus mitt ibland dem och sa: Frid vare med er.

27 Sedan vände han sig till Tomas och sa: Här är mina händer. Sätt ditt finger här, och stick din hand i min sida! Tvivla nu inte längre utan tro!

28 Min Herre och min Gud, utbrast Tomas.

29 Sedan sa Jesus till honom: Du tror därför att du sett mig. Lyckliga är de som inte har sett mig men ändå tror.

30-31 Jesu lärjungar såg honom göra många andra under, förutom dem som är nertecknade i denna bok. Men dessa är nerskrivna för att ni ska kunna tro att han är Messias, Guds Son, och för att ni ska få evigt liv genom att tro på honom.

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)

The Empty Tomb(A)

20 Now the (B)first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the (C)stone had been taken away from the tomb. Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the (D)other disciple, (E)whom Jesus 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.”

(F)Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. And he, stooping down and looking in, saw (G)the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, and (H)the [a]handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. Then the (I)other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. For as yet they did not [b]know the (J)Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.

Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord

11 (K)But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”

She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”

14 (L)Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and (M)did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”

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, (N)“Mary!”

She turned and said to [c]Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).

17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet (O)ascended to My Father; but go to (P)My brethren and say to them, (Q)‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to (R)My God and your God.’ ”

18 (S)Mary Magdalene came and told the [d]disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.

The Apostles Commissioned(T)

19 (U)Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were [e]assembled, for (V)fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, (W)“Peace be with you.” 20 When He had said this, He (X)showed them His hands and His side. (Y)Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! (Z)As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 (AA)If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

Seeing and Believing

24 Now Thomas, (AB)called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”

So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

26 And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27 Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and (AC)reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be (AD)unbelieving, but believing.”

28 And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”

29 Jesus said to him, [f]“Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. (AE)Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

That You May Believe

30 And (AF)truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 (AG)but these are written that (AH)you may believe that Jesus (AI)is the Christ, the Son of God, (AJ)and that believing you may have life in His name.
