John 20
King James Version
20 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Tin tức về sự sống lại của Chúa Giê-xu(A)
20 Buổi sáng ngày đầu tuần lễ, khi trời hãy còn tối, Ma-ri Ma-đơ-len đến thăm mộ thì thấy tảng đá chận cửa mộ đã được lăn đi chỗ khác. 2 Cô vội vàng chạy về báo tin cho Phia-rơ và môn đệ Ngài yêu. Ma-ri bảo, “Người ta dời Chúa đi mất, không biết họ để Ngài ở đâu!”
3 Nghe thế Phia-rơ và môn đệ kia vội vàng chạy đến mộ. 4 Cả hai cùng chạy, nhưng môn đệ kia chạy nhanh hơn nên đến mộ trước. 5 Ông cúi xuống nhìn vào trong, thấy vải liệm nằm đó nhưng không bước vào. 6 Xi-môn Phia-rơ đến sau, vào thẳng trong mộ, thấy vải liệm nằm đó 7 và khăn liệm quấn quanh đầu Chúa Giê-xu được xếp lại để riêng ra, không cùng chỗ với vải liệm. 8 Rồi môn đệ kia, người đã đến mộ trước, cũng bước vào thì thấy và tin. 9 Lúc ấy hai người vẫn chưa hiểu lời Thánh Kinh nói rằng Ngài phải sống lại từ cõi chết.
Chúa Giê-xu hiện ra với Ma-ri Ma-đơ-len(B)
10 Rồi hai người trở về nhà.
11 Còn Ma-ri thì đứng ngoài mộ sụt sùi khóc. Cô vừa khóc vừa cúi xuống nhìn vào trong mộ 12 thì thấy hai thiên sứ mặc áo trắng ngồi chỗ đã đặt xác Chúa Giê-xu, một người ở phía đầu, một người phía chân.
13 Họ hỏi Ma-ri, “Cô ơi, sao cô khóc?”
Cô trả lời, “Người ta mang Chúa tôi đi mất, không biết họ để Ngài ở đâu!” 14 Nói xong, cô quay lại, thấy Chúa Giê-xu đang đứng đó nhưng không nhận ra Ngài.
15 Chúa Giê-xu hỏi, “Cô ơi, sao cô khóc? Cô tìm ai vậy?”
Tưởng là người làm vườn nên cô hỏi, “Thưa bác, có phải bác dời Ngài đi rồi không? Bác để Ngài ở đâu cho tôi biết để tôi đến lấy.”
16 Chúa Giê-xu gọi, “Ma-ri!”
Ma-ri quay người lại về hướng Ngài và kêu lên bằng tiếng Do-thái, “Ra-bô-ni!” (nghĩa là “Thầy.”)
17 Chúa Giê-xu bảo, “Đừng ôm lấy ta vì ta chưa lên cùng Cha. Nhưng hãy đi nói với các anh em [a] ta rằng ‘Ta trở về cùng Cha ta cũng là Cha các con, cùng Thượng Đế của ta cũng là Thượng Đế của các con.’”
18 Ma-ri Ma-đơ-len về thuật cho các môn đệ rằng, “Tôi đã thấy Chúa!” đồng thời bảo họ những điều Ngài đã dặn.
Chúa Giê-xu hiện ra cùng các môn đệ(C)
19 Lúc ấy là chiều ngày đầu tiên trong tuần, các môn đệ đang nhóm họp lại, tất cả cửa nẻo đều khoá chặt vì sợ người Do-thái. Bỗng nhiên Chúa Giê-xu hiện ra đứng giữa họ và nói, “Bình an cho các con.” 20 Nói xong Ngài đưa tay và hông ra. Môn đệ vô cùng mừng rỡ khi thấy Chúa.
21 Ngài lại bảo, “Bình an cho các con! Cha đã sai ta ra sao thì ta cũng sai các con như thế.” 22 Nói xong Ngài hà hơi trên họ và nói, “Hãy nhận lãnh Thánh Linh. 23 Nếu các con tha tội cho ai thì tội người ấy sẽ được tha; còn nếu các con không tha thì tội người ấy sẽ không được tha.”
Chúa Giê-xu hiện ra cho Thô-ma
24 Thô-ma, còn gọi là Đi-đim, một trong mười hai môn đệ, không có mặt ở đó khi Chúa Giê-xu hiện ra. 25 Các môn đệ kia quả quyết với Thô-ma rằng, “Chúng tôi đã thấy Chúa!” Nhưng Thô-ma bảo, “Nếu tôi không thấy dấu sẹo đinh nơi tay Ngài, nếu ngón tay tôi không rờ được dấu đinh và bàn tay tôi không đụng vào hông Ngài thì tôi không tin.”
26 Một tuần sau, các môn đệ đang nhóm nhau trong phòng, lần nầy có mặt Thô-ma. Cửa đang khóa chặt thì Chúa Giê-xu bỗng hiện đến đứng giữa họ và nói rằng, “Bình an cho các con.” 27 Rồi Ngài bảo Thô-ma, “Hãy đặt ngón tay con vào đây và hãy nhìn kỹ bàn tay ta. Hãy đến đặt bàn tay con vào hông ta. Đừng ngờ vực nữa mà hãy tin!”
28 Thô-ma kêu lên, “Lạy Chúa và Thượng Đế của con!”
29 Chúa Giê-xu bảo Thô-ma, “Bây giờ con tin vì mắt con đã thấy ta. Ai không thấy mà tin là người có phúc thật!”
Lý do Giăng viết sách nầy
30 Chúa Giê-xu còn làm nhiều phép lạ nữa trước mặt các môn đệ nhưng không ghi lại trong sách nầy. 31 Nhưng những việc nầy được viết ra để anh chị em tin rằng Chúa Giê-xu là Đấng Cứu Thế, Con Thượng Đế, và nếu tin Ngài thì anh chị em sẽ hưởng sự sống nhờ danh Ngài.

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) 2 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)
3 So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.(F) 4 Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked in(G) at the strips of linen(H) lying there but did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, 7 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. 8 Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,(J) also went inside. He saw and believed. 9 (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 Resurrection
20 (A)Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that (B)the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, (C)the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and (D)we do not know where they have laid him.” 3 (E)So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. 4 Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 And stooping to look in, he saw (F)the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, 7 and (G)the face cloth, which had been on Jesus'[a] head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, (H)who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9 for as yet (I)they did not understand the Scripture, (J)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 (K)she saw (L)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, (M)“Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, (N)“They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and (O)saw Jesus standing, (P)but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, (Q)“Woman, why are you weeping? (R)Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be (S)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 Aramaic,[b] (T)“Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to (U)my brothers and say to them, (V)‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to (W)my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene (X)went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
19 (Y)On the evening (Z)of that day, the first day of the week, (AA)the doors being locked where the disciples were (AB)for fear of the Jews,[c] Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, (AC)“Peace be with you.” 20 When he had said this, (AD)he showed them his hands and his side. Then (AE)the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As (AF)the Father has sent me, (AG)even so I am sending you.” 22 And when he had said this, he (AH)breathed on them and said to them, (AI)“Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 (AJ)If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”
Jesus and Thomas
24 Now (AK)Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin,[d] was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, (AL)“Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.”
26 Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. (AM)Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, (AN)“Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, (AO)“Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” 28 Thomas answered him, (AP)“My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? (AQ)Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
The Purpose of This Book
30 (AR)Now Jesus did many other signs (AS)in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 (AT)but these are written so that you may (AU)believe that Jesus is the Christ, (AV)the Son of God, and that by believing (AW)you may have life (AX)in his name.
