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。

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.

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[a] from the tomb. So she ran to Simon Peter(F) and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,(G) and we don’t know where they have 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, yet he did not go in. Then, following him, Simon Peter came also. 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 entered the tomb, saw, and believed. For they still did not understand the Scripture(K) that He must rise(L) from the dead.(M) 10 Then the disciples went home again.

Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord

11 But(N) Mary stood outside facing the tomb,(O) crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 She saw two angels(P) in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where Jesus’ body(Q) had been lying. 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, though she did not know it was Jesus.(S)

15 “Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

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

16 Jesus said, “Mary.”

Turning around, she said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!”[b]—which means “Teacher.”(T)

17 “Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for 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[c] He had said to her.

The Disciples Commissioned

19 In the evening of that first day of the week,(AA) the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because of their fear of the Jews. Then Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to 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 to you! As the Father has sent Me,(AD) I also send you.”(AE) 22 After saying this, He breathed on them(AF) and said,[d] “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 one of the Twelve, Thomas(AI) (called “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, “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 After eight days His disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them. He said, “Peace to you!”

27 Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Don’t be an unbeliever, but a believer.”(AM)

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

29 Jesus said, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed.[e] Those who believe without seeing(AN) are blessed.”

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 Jesus is the Messiah,(AR) the Son(AS) of God,[f](AT) and by believing you may have life in His name.(AU)

耶穌復活(A)

20 禮拜日清早,天還沒有亮的時候,抹大拉的馬利亞來到墓旁,看見石頭已經從墳墓移開了。 她就跑去見西門.彼得,和耶穌所愛的那個門徒,對他們說:“有人把主從墳墓裡搬走了,我們不知道他們把他放在哪裡。” 彼得和那門徒就動身,到墳墓那裡去。 兩個人一齊跑,那門徒比彼得跑得快,先到了墳墓, 屈身向裡面觀看,看見細麻布還在那裡,但他卻沒有進去。 西門.彼得隨後也到了;他進入墳墓,看見細麻布還放在那裡, 也看見耶穌的裹頭巾,沒有和細麻布放在一起,而是捲著放在一邊。 那時,先到墳墓的那門徒也進去,他看見,就信了。 他們還不明白經上所說“他必須從死人中復活”這句話的意思。 10 於是兩個門徒就回家去了。

向抹大拉的馬利亞顯現(B)

11 馬利亞站在墳墓外面哭泣。她哭的時候,屈身往裡面觀看, 12 看見兩個身穿白衣的天使,坐在安放耶穌身體的地方,一個在頭那邊,一個在腳那邊。 13 天使問她:“婦人,你為甚麼哭?”她說:“有人把我的主搬走了,我不知道他們把他放在哪裡。” 14 馬利亞說了這話,就轉過身來,看見耶穌站在那裡,卻不知道他就是耶穌。 15 耶穌對她說:“婦人,你為甚麼哭?你找誰呢?”馬利亞以為耶穌是園丁,就對他說:“先生,如果是你把他挪去了,請告訴我你把他放在甚麼地方,我好去搬回來。” 16 耶穌對她說:“馬利亞!”她轉過身來,用希伯來話對他說:“拉波尼!”(就是“老師”的意思。) 17 耶穌說:“你不要拉住我,因為我還沒有上去見父。你要到我的弟兄們那裡去,告訴他們我要上去見我的父,也是你們的父;見我的 神,也是你們的 神。” 18 抹大拉的馬利亞就去,向門徒報信說:“我已經看見主了!”她又把主對她所說的話告訴他們。

向門徒顯現(C)

19 禮拜日黃昏的時候,門徒聚在一起,因為怕猶太人,就把門戶都關上。耶穌來了,站在他們中間,說:“願你們平安。” 20 說了這話,就把手和肋旁給他們看。門徒看見主,就歡喜了。 21 耶穌又對他們說:“願你們平安。父怎樣差遣了我,我也怎樣差遣你們。” 22 說了這話,就向他們吹一口氣,說:“你們領受聖靈吧! 23 你們赦免誰的罪,誰的罪就得赦免;你們不赦免誰的罪,誰的罪就不得赦免。”

耶穌向疑惑的多馬顯現

24 十二個門徒中,有一個稱為“雙生子”(“雙生子”原文作“低土馬”)的多馬。耶穌來的時候,他沒有和門徒在一起。 25 其他的門徒對他說:“我們已經見過主了。”多馬對他們說:“除非我親眼看見他手上的釘痕,用我的指頭探入那釘痕,又用我的手探入他的肋旁,我決不相信。” 26 過了八天,門徒又在屋子裡,多馬也和他們在一起。門戶都關上了。耶穌來了,站在他們中間,說:“願你們平安。” 27 然後對多馬說:“把你的指頭放在這裡,看看我的手吧!伸出你的手來,探探我的肋旁!不要疑惑,只要信!” 28 多馬對他說:“我的主!我的 神!” 29 耶穌說:“你因為看見我才信嗎?那些沒有看見就信的人,是有福的。”

本書是要人信耶穌得生命

30 耶穌在門徒面前還行了許多別的神蹟,沒有記在這書上。 31 但把這些事記下來,是要你們信耶穌是基督,是 神的兒子,並且使你們信了,可以因他的名得生命。
