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。

The Empty Tomb

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

At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb. The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first. Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths(H) lying there, but he did not go in. Then, following him, Simon Peter also came. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there. The wrapping(I) that had been on his head was not lying with the linen cloths(J) but was folded up in a separate place by itself. The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then also went in, saw, and believed. For they did not yet understand the Scripture(K) that he must rise(L) from the dead.(M) 10 Then the disciples returned to the place where they were staying.

Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord

11 But(N) Mary stood outside the tomb,(O) crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 She saw two angels(P) in white sitting where Jesus’s body(Q) had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“Because they’ve taken away my Lord,”(R) she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put him.”

14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know it was Jesus.(S) 15 “Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it that you’re seeking?”

Supposing he was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you’ve carried him away, tell me where you’ve put him, and I will take him away.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

Turning around, she said to him in Aramaic,[a] “Rabboni!”—which means “Teacher.”(T)

17 “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus told her, “since I have not yet ascended(U) to the Father.(V) But go to my brothers(W) and tell them that I am ascending to my Father(X) and your Father, to my God(Y) and your God.”

18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” (Z) And she told them what[b] he had said to her.

The Disciples Commissioned

19 When it was evening on that first day of the week,(AA) the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because they feared the Jews. Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace be with you.”(AB)

20 Having said this, he showed them his hands and his side.(AC) So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me,(AD) I also send you.”(AE) 22 After saying this, he breathed on them(AF) and said,[c] “Receive the Holy Spirit.(AG) 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”(AH)

Thomas Sees and Believes

24 But Thomas(AI) (called “Twin”[d]), one of the Twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples were telling him, “We’ve seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “If I don’t see the mark of the nails in his hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails,(AJ) and put my hand into his side,(AK) I will never believe.”(AL)

26 A week later his disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Don’t be faithless, but believe.”(AM)

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

29 Jesus said, “Because you have seen me, you have believed.[e] Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe.”(AN)

The Purpose of This Gospel

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

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.
