The Resurrection of Jesus

20 Now on the first day of the week Mary Mag′dalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. So she ran, and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” Peter then came out with the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb. They both ran, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first; and stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; he saw the linen cloths lying, and the napkin, which had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths but rolled up in a place by itself. Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; for as yet they did not know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples went back to their homes.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb; 12 and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 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 Saying this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom do you seek?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she 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, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rab-bo′ni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not hold me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”[a] 18 Mary Mag′dalene went and said to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”; and she told them that he had said these things to her.

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

19 On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.” 22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”

Jesus and Thomas

24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, and place my finger in the mark of the nails, and place my hand in his side, I will not believe.”

26 Eight days later, his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. The doors were shut, but Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side; do not be faithless, but believing.” 28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.”

The Purpose of This Book

30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 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.

Den tomma graven

20 Tidigt den första veckodagen, medan det ännu var mörkt, kom Maria från Magdala ut till graven och fick se att stenen var borttagen från den. Hon sprang därifrån och kom till Simon Petrus och den andre lärjungen, den som Jesus älskade, och sade till dem: "De har tagit bort Herren från graven, och vi vet inte var de har lagt honom."

Då begav sig Petrus och den andre lärjungen ut till graven. De sprang båda på samma gång, men den andre lärjungen sprang fortare än Petrus och kom först fram till graven. Han lutade sig in och såg linnebindlarna ligga där, men han gick inte in. Strax därefter kom Simon Petrus. Han gick in i graven och såg linnebindlarna ligga där och duken som hade täckt huvudet. Men den låg inte tillsammans med bindlarna utan för sig, hopvikt på en särskild plats. Sedan gick också den andre lärjungen in, han som hade kommit först till graven, och han såg och trodde. Förut hade de nämligen inte förstått Skriftens ord att han måste uppstå från de döda. 10 Därefter vände lärjungarna tillbaka hem.

Jesus visar sig för Maria från Magdala

11 Maria stod utanför graven och grät. Och medan hon grät lutade hon sig in i graven. 12 Hon fick då se två änglar i vita kläder sitta där Jesu kropp hade legat, den ene vid huvudets plats, den andre vid fötternas. 13 Och de sade till henne: "Kvinna, varför gråter du?" Hon svarade: "De har tagit bort min Herre, och jag vet inte var de har lagt honom." 14 När hon hade sagt det, vände hon sig om och fick se Jesus stå där, men hon förstod inte att det var han. 15 Jesus sade till henne: "Kvinna, varför gråter du? Vem söker du?" Hon trodde att det var trädgårdsmästaren och sade till honom: "Herre, om det är du som har fört bort honom, så säg mig var du har lagt honom, så att jag kan hämta honom." 16 Jesus sade till henne: "Maria." Då vände hon sig om och sade till honom på hebreiska: "Rabbuni" - det betyder lärare. 17 Jesus sade till henne: "Rör inte vid mig, ty jag har ännu inte farit upp till Fadern. Men gå till mina bröder och säg till dem att jag far upp till min Fader och er Fader, till min Gud och er Gud." 18 Maria från Magdala gick då och berättade för lärjungarna att hon hade sett Herren och att han hade sagt detta till henne.

Jesus hos sina lärjungar

19 På kvällen samma dag, den första veckodagen, var lärjungarna samlade bakom låsta dörrar av rädsla för judarna. Då kom Jesus och stod mitt ibland dem och sade: "Frid vare med er." 20 När han hade sagt detta visade han dem sina händer och sin sida. Och lärjungarna blev glada när de såg Herren. 21 Jesus sade än en gång till dem: "Frid vare med er. Som Fadern har sänt mig sänder jag er." 22 Sedan han sagt detta, andades han på dem och sade: "Tag emot den helige Ande! 23 Om ni förlåter någon hans synder så är de förlåtna, och om ni binder någon i hans synder så är han bunden."

Den uppståndne och Thomas

24 Thomas, en av de tolv, han som kallades Tvillingen,[a] hade inte varit med dem när Jesus kom. 25 De andra lärjungarna sade nu till honom: "Vi har sett Herren." Men han svarade dem: "Om jag inte får se hålen efter spikarna i hans händer och sticka fingret i hålen efter spikarna och inte får sticka min hand i hans sida, så kan jag inte tro." 26 Åtta dagar därefter samlades hans lärjungar igen där inne, och Thomas var med bland dem. Då kom Jesus, medan dörrarna var låsta, och stod mitt ibland dem och sade: "Frid vare med er." 27 Sedan sade han till Thomas: "Räck hit ditt finger och se mina händer. Och räck hit din hand och stick den i min sida. Och tvivla inte utan tro!" 28 Thomas svarade honom: "Min Herre och min Gud!" 29 Jesus sade till honom: "Därför att du har sett mig, tror du. Saliga är de som tror, fastän de inte ser."

30 Många andra tecken, som inte är nerskrivna i denna bok, gjorde Jesus i sina lärjungars åsyn. 31 Men dessa har blivit nerskrivna, för att ni skall tro att Jesus är Messias, Guds Son, och för att ni genom tron skall ha liv i hans namn.

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)
