Jesus Is Raised

20 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it[a] was still dark, and saw the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So 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 from the tomb and we do not know where they have put him!” Then Peter and the other disciple went out and were going to the tomb. And the two were running together, and the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first. And bending over to look, he saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, though he did not go in. Then Simon Peter also came following him, and he went into the tomb and saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, and the facecloth that was on his head—not lying with the strips of linen cloth, but folded up separately in one place. So then the other disciple who had come to the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed. (For they did not yet know the scripture that it was necessary for him to rise from the dead.)

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

10 Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.[b] 11 But Mary stood outside at the tomb, weeping. Then, while she was weeping, she bent over to look into the tomb, 12 and she saw two angels in white, seated one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been lying. 13 And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him!” 14 When she[c] had said these things, she turned around[d] and saw Jesus standing there, and she did not know that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She thought that it was the gardener, and[e] said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned around and[f] said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni” (which means “Teacher”). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene came and[g] announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and he had said these things to her.

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

19 Now when it[h] was evening on that day—the first day of the week—and the doors had been shut where the disciples were because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace to you.” 20 And when he[i] had said this, he showed his[j] hands and his[k] side to them. Then the disciples rejoiced when they[l] saw the Lord. 21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you.” 22 And when he[m] had said this, he breathed on them[n] and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them. If you retain the sins[o] of any, they are retained.”

Thomas Doubts But Later Believes

24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called Didymus,[p] was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe!”

26 And after eight days his disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Although[q] the doors had been shut, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said, “Peace to you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Place your finger here and see my hands, and place your hand and put it[r] into my side. And do not be unbelieving, but believing!” 28 Thomas answered and said to him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, have you believed? Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”

Why This Book Was Written

30 Now Jesus also performed many other signs in the presence of the disciples[s] which are not recorded in this book, 31 but these things are recorded in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by[t] believing you may have life in his name.

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)

Воскресение Иисуса из мертвых(A)

20 Рано утром, в первый день недели[a], когда было еще темно, Мария Магдалина пошла к гробнице и увидела, что камень, закрывавший вход в гробницу, убран. Она побежала к Симону Петру и к ученику, которого Иисус любил, и сказала:

– Они забрали Господа из гробницы, и мы не знаем, куда они Его положили!

Петр и другой ученик сразу же пошли к гробнице. Они оба бежали, но второй ученик обогнал Петра и пришел к гробнице первым. Он заглянул внутрь и увидел льняные полотна, но внутрь не зашел. Затем и Симон Петр, который был позади него, подошел и вошел в гробницу. Он увидел лежащие льняные полотна и погребальный платок, которым была обвязана голова Иисуса. Платок лежал сложенным отдельно от льняных полотен. Тогда и другой ученик, прибежавший к гробнице первым, тоже вошел внутрь. Он увидел и поверил. (Тогда они еще не понимали, что, согласно Писанию, Иисус должен был воскреснуть из мертвых[b].)

Иисус является Марии Магдалине(B)

10 Ученики возвратились домой.

11 Мария же стояла у могилы и плакала. Плача, она заглянула в гробницу 12 и увидела двух ангелов в белом. Они сидели там, где раньше лежало тело Иисуса, один в изголовье и один в ногах.

13 Ангелы спросили Марию:

– Женщина, почему ты плачешь?

– Унесли моего Господа, – ответила Мария, – и я не знаю, куда Его положили.

14 Сказав это, она обернулась и увидела, что там стоит Иисус, хотя она не узнала Его.

15 – Женщина, – сказал Иисус, – почему ты плачешь? Кого ты ищешь?

Она подумала, что это садовник, и сказала:

– Господин, если это Ты унес Его, то скажи, куда Ты Его положил, и я пойду и возьму Его.

16 – Мария, – сказал ей Иисус.

Она повернулась к Нему и воскликнула на еврейском языке:

– Раббуни (что значит «Учитель мой»)!

17 Иисус сказал:

– Не удерживай Меня, потому что Я еще не поднимался к Отцу. Пойди лучше к Моим братьям и скажи им: Я поднимаюсь к Моему Отцу и к вашему Отцу, к Моему Богу и к вашему Богу.

18 Мария Магдалина пошла к ученикам и сказала:

– Я видела Господа!

И она пересказала им все, что Он ей говорил.

Явление Иисуса ученикам(C)

19 Вечером в первый день недели, когда ученики собрались вместе и двери дома, где они находились, были заперты из боязни перед иудеями, пришел Иисус. Он стал посреди них и сказал:

– Мир вам!

20 Сказав это, Он показал им Свои руки и бок. Увидев Господа, ученики обрадовались. 21 Иисус опять сказал им:

– Мир вам! Как Отец послал Меня, так и Я посылаю вас.

22 С этими словами Он дунул на них и сказал:

– Примите Святого Духа. 23 Кому вы простите грехи, тем они будут прощены, а на ком оставите грехи, на тех они останутся[c].

Иисус является Фоме

24 Фомы, которого еще называли Близнец, одного из двенадцати, не было с другими учениками, когда приходил Иисус. 25 И когда другие ученики сказали:

– Мы видели Господа! – Фома ответил:

– Пока я не увижу следов от гвоздей на Его руках, не коснусь их пальцем и не потрогаю рану в Его боку, я не поверю.

26 Неделю спустя ученики опять собрались в доме, и на этот раз Фома был с ними. Двери были заперты, но Иисус пришел, стал посреди них и сказал:

– Мир вам!

27 Затем Он сказал Фоме:

– Протяни палец, посмотри, вот Мои руки. Протяни руку и потрогай Мой бок; не сомневайся, но верь.

28 – Господь мой и Бог мой! – сказал Ему в ответ Фома.

29 Иисус ответил:

– Ты поверил, потому что увидел Меня. Блаженны те, кто поверил, не видя Меня.

30 Иисус совершил в присутствии Своих учеников и много других знамений, о которых в этой книге не написано. 31 А то, что здесь написано, написано для того, чтобы вы поверили, что Иисус есть Христос, Сын Бога, и, веруя, имели бы жизнь во имя Его.

  3. 20:23 Основываясь на многих стихах Писания (напр., Пс. 50:4; Лк. 5:21), нужно понять, что всякий грех направлен против Бога, и только Он может его простить. И этот стих, по-видимому, следует понимать так, что верующие, водимые Святым Духом, могут объявлять покаявшемуся о прощении его грехов Богом (или непрощении, в случае его упорства).
