3. IL GIORNO DELLA RISURREZIONE
La tomba vuota
20 Nel giorno dopo il sabato, Maria di Màgdala si recò al sepolcro di buon mattino, quand'era ancora buio, e vide che la pietra era stata ribaltata dal sepolcro. 2 Corse allora e andò da Simon Pietro e dall'altro discepolo, quello che Gesù amava, e disse loro: «Hanno portato via il Signore dal sepolcro e non sappiamo dove l'hanno posto!». 3 Uscì allora Simon Pietro insieme all'altro discepolo, e si recarono al sepolcro. 4 Correvano insieme tutti e due, ma l'altro discepolo corse più veloce di Pietro e giunse per primo al sepolcro. 5 Chinatosi, vide le bende per terra, ma non entrò. 6 Giunse intanto anche Simon Pietro che lo seguiva ed entrò nel sepolcro e vide le bende per terra, 7 e il sudario, che gli era stato posto sul capo, non per terra con le bende, ma piegato in un luogo a parte. 8 Allora entrò anche l'altro discepolo, che era giunto per primo al sepolcro, e vide e credette. 9 Non avevano infatti ancora compreso la Scrittura, che egli cioè doveva risuscitare dai morti. 10 I discepoli intanto se ne tornarono di nuovo a casa.
L'apparizione a Maria di Magdala
11 Maria invece stava all'esterno vicino al sepolcro e piangeva. Mentre piangeva, si chinò verso il sepolcro 12 e vide due angeli in bianche vesti, seduti l'uno dalla parte del capo e l'altro dei piedi, dove era stato posto il corpo di Gesù. 13 Ed essi le dissero: «Donna, perché piangi?». Rispose loro: «Hanno portato via il mio Signore e non so dove lo hanno posto». 14 Detto questo, si voltò indietro e vide Gesù che stava lì in piedi; ma non sapeva che era Gesù. 15 Le disse Gesù: «Donna, perché piangi? Chi cerchi?». Essa, pensando che fosse il custode del giardino, gli disse: «Signore, se l'hai portato via tu, dimmi dove lo hai posto e io andrò a prenderlo». 16 Gesù le disse: «Maria!». Essa allora, voltatasi verso di lui, gli disse in ebraico: «Rabbunì!», che significa: Maestro! 17 Gesù le disse: «Non mi trattenere, perché non sono ancora salito al Padre; ma và dai miei fratelli e dì loro: Io salgo al Padre mio e Padre vostro, Dio mio e Dio vostro». 18 Maria di Màgdala andò subito ad annunziare ai discepoli: «Ho visto il Signore» e anche ciò che le aveva detto.
Apparizione ai discepoli
19 La sera di quello stesso giorno, il primo dopo il sabato, mentre erano chiuse le porte del luogo dove si trovavano i discepoli per timore dei Giudei, venne Gesù, si fermò in mezzo a loro e disse: «Pace a voi!». 20 Detto questo, mostrò loro le mani e il costato. E i discepoli gioirono al vedere il Signore. 21 Gesù disse loro di nuovo: «Pace a voi! Come il Padre ha mandato me, anch'io mando voi». 22 Dopo aver detto questo, alitò su di loro e disse: «Ricevete lo Spirito Santo; 23 a chi rimetterete i peccati saranno rimessi e a chi non li rimetterete, resteranno non rimessi».
24 Tommaso, uno dei Dodici, chiamato Dìdimo, non era con loro quando venne Gesù. 25 Gli dissero allora gli altri discepoli: «Abbiamo visto il Signore!». Ma egli disse loro: «Se non vedo nelle sue mani il segno dei chiodi e non metto il dito nel posto dei chiodi e non metto la mia mano nel suo costato, non crederò».
26 Otto giorni dopo i discepoli erano di nuovo in casa e c'era con loro anche Tommaso. Venne Gesù, a porte chiuse, si fermò in mezzo a loro e disse: «Pace a voi!». 27 Poi disse a Tommaso: «Metti qua il tuo dito e guarda le mie mani; stendi la tua mano, e mettila nel mio costato; e non essere più incredulo ma credente!». 28 Rispose Tommaso: «Mio Signore e mio Dio!». 29 Gesù gli disse: «Perché mi hai veduto, hai creduto: beati quelli che pur non avendo visto crederanno!».
4. PRIMA CONCLUSIONE
30 Molti altri segni fece Gesù in presenza dei suoi discepoli, ma non sono stati scritti in questo libro. 31 Questi sono stati scritti, perché crediate che Gesù è il Cristo, il Figlio di Dio e perché, credendo, abbiate la vita nel suo nome.

Jesus Comes Back to Life(A)
20 Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary from Magdala went to the tomb. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb’s entrance. 2 So she ran to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Yeshua loved. She told them, “They have removed the Lord from the tomb, and we don’t know where they’ve put him.”
3 So Peter and the other disciple headed for the tomb. 4 The two were running side by side, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and came to the tomb first. 5 He bent over and looked inside the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there but didn’t go inside.
6 Simon Peter arrived after him and went into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there. 7 He also saw the cloth that had been on Yeshua’s head. It wasn’t lying with the strips of linen but was rolled up separately. 8 Then the other disciple, who arrived at the tomb first, went inside. He saw and believed. 9 They didn’t know yet what Scripture meant when it said that Yeshua had to come back to life. 10 So the disciples went back home.
Jesus Appears to Mary from Magdala
11 Mary, however, stood there and cried as she looked at the tomb. As she cried, she bent over and looked inside. 12 She saw two angels in white clothes. They were sitting where the body of Yeshua had been lying. One angel was where Yeshua’s head had been, and the other was where his feet had been. 13 The angels asked her why she was crying.
Mary told them, “They have removed my Lord, and I don’t know where they’ve put him.”
14 After she said this, she turned around and saw Yeshua standing there. However, she didn’t know that it was Yeshua. 15 Yeshua asked her, “Why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”
Mary thought it was the gardener speaking to her. So she said to him, “Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I’ll remove him.”
16 Yeshua said to her, “Mary!”
Mary turned around and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (This word means “teacher.”)
17 Yeshua told her, “Don’t hold on to me. I have not yet gone to the Father. But go to my brothers and sisters and tell them, ‘I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary from Magdala went to the disciples and told them, “I have seen the Lord.” She also told them what he had said to her.
Jesus Appears to the Disciples(B)
19 That Sunday evening, the disciples were together behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jews. Yeshua stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you!” 20 When he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were glad to see the Lord.
21 Yeshua said to them again, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, so I am sending you.” 22 After he had said this, he breathed on the disciples and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 Whenever you forgive sins, they are forgiven. Whenever you don’t forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Jesus Appears to Thomas
24 Thomas, one of the twelve apostles, who was called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Yeshua came. 25 The other disciples told him, “We’ve seen the Lord.”
Thomas told them, “I refuse to believe this unless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my fingers into them, and put my hand into his side.”
26 A week later Yeshua’s disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Yeshua stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” 27 Then Yeshua said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Take your hand, and put it into my side. Stop doubting, and believe.”
28 Thomas responded to Yeshua, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Yeshua said to Thomas, “You believe because you’ve seen me. Blessed are those who haven’t seen me but believe.”
30 Yeshua performed many other miracles that his disciples saw. Those miracles are not written in this book. 31 But these miracles have been written so that you will believe that Yeshua is the Messiah, the Son of God, and so that you will have life by believing in him.

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)
