The Empty Tomb
20 (A)Now on the first day of the week, (B)Mary Magdalene *came early to the tomb, while it *was still dark, and *saw (C)the stone already taken away from the tomb. 2 So she *ran and *came to Simon Peter and to the other (D)disciple whom Jesus loved, and *said to them, “(E)They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.” 3 (F)So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb. 4 And the two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first; 5 and (G)stooping and looking in, he *saw the (H)linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in. 6 And so Simon Peter also *came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he *saw the linen wrappings lying there, 7 and (I)the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the (J)linen wrappings, but folded up in a place by itself. 8 So the other disciple who (K)had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. 9 For as yet (L)they did not understand the Scripture, (M)that He must rise again from the dead. 10 So the disciples went away again (N)to where they were staying.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 (O)But Mary was standing outside the tomb crying; and so, as she was crying, she (P)stooped to look into the tomb; 12 and she *saw (Q)two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying. 13 And they *said to her, “(R)Woman, why are you crying?” She *said to them, “Because (S)they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” 14 When she had said this, she turned around and *(T)saw Jesus standing there, and (U)did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus *said to her, “(V)Woman, why are you crying? Whom are you seeking?” Thinking 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 (W)in [a]Hebrew, “(X)Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher). 17 Jesus *said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to (Y)My brothers and say to them, ‘I (Z)ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’” 18 (AA)Mary Magdalene *came, (AB)announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
19 So while it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and while the doors were shut where the disciples were, for (AC)fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, “[b](AD)Peace be with you.” 20 And when He had said this, (AE)He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then (AF)rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 So Jesus said to them again, “(AG)Peace be with you; (AH)as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He (AI)breathed on them and *said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 (AJ)If you forgive the sins of any, their sins [c]have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
24 But (AK)Thomas, one of (AL)the twelve, called [d](AM)Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in (AN)His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, (AO)I will not believe.”
26 And [e]after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been [f]shut, and stood in their midst and said, “(AP)Peace be with you.” 27 Then He *said to Thomas, “(AQ)Bring your finger here, and see My hands; and bring your hand here and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing.” 28 Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!” 29 Jesus *said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? (AR)Blessed are those who did not see, and yet believed.”
Why This Gospel Was Written
30 (AS)Therefore many other [g](AT)signs Jesus also did in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these have been written (AU)so that you may believe that Jesus is the [h]Christ, (AV)the Son of God; and that (AW)believing you may have life in His name.

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.

La resurrección
20 (A)El primer día de la semana María Magdalena(B) fue* temprano al sepulcro, cuando todavía estaba* oscuro, y vio* que la piedra ya había sido quitada del sepulcro(C). 2 Entonces corrió* y fue* adonde estaban Simón Pedro y el otro discípulo a quien Jesús amaba(D), y les dijo*: «Se han llevado al Señor del sepulcro, y no sabemos dónde lo han puesto(E)».
3 Salieron, pues, Pedro y el otro discípulo, y fueron hacia el sepulcro(F). 4 Los dos corrían juntos, pero el otro discípulo corrió más aprisa que Pedro, y llegó primero al sepulcro; 5 e inclinándose para mirar adentro(G), vio* las envolturas de lino(H) puestas allí, pero no entró.
6 Entonces llegó* también Simón Pedro tras él, entró al sepulcro, y vio* las envolturas de lino puestas allí, 7 y el sudario(I) que había estado sobre la cabeza de Jesús[a], no puesto con las envolturas de lino(J), sino enrollado en un lugar aparte. 8 También entró el otro discípulo, el que había llegado primero al sepulcro(K), y vio y creyó. 9 Porque todavía no habían entendido la Escritura(L) de que Jesús debía resucitar de entre los muertos(M). 10 Los discípulos entonces se fueron de nuevo a sus casas[b](N).
Aparición de Jesús a María Magdalena
11 Pero María(O) estaba fuera, llorando junto al sepulcro; y mientras lloraba, se inclinó y miró dentro del sepulcro(P); 12 y vio* dos ángeles vestidos de blanco(Q), sentados donde había estado el cuerpo de Jesús, uno a la cabecera y otro a los pies. 13 «Mujer, ¿por qué lloras(R)?», le preguntaron*. «Porque se han llevado a mi Señor, y no sé dónde lo han puesto(S)», les contestó* ella.
14 Al decir esto, se volvió y vio* a Jesús(T) que estaba allí, pero no sabía que era Jesús(U). 15 «Mujer, ¿por qué lloras(V)?», le dijo* Jesús. «¿A quién buscas?». Ella, pensando que era el que cuidaba el huerto, le dijo*: «Señor, si usted lo ha llevado, dígame dónde lo ha puesto, y yo me lo llevaré». 16 «¡María!», le dijo* Jesús. Ella, volviéndose, le dijo* en hebreo[c](W): «¡Raboní(X)!» (que quiere decir Maestro).
17 Jesús le dijo*: «Suéltame[d]porque todavía no he subido al Padre; pero ve a Mis hermanos(Y), y diles: “Subo a Mi Padre y Padre de ustedes, a Mi Dios y Dios de ustedes(Z)”». 18 María Magdalena(AA) fue* y anunció a los discípulos(AB): «¡He visto al Señor!», y que Él le había dicho estas cosas.
Aparición a los discípulos
19 Al atardecer de aquel día, el primero de la semana, y estando cerradas las puertas del lugar donde los discípulos se encontraban por miedo a los judíos(AC), Jesús vino y se puso en medio de ellos, y les dijo*: «Paz a ustedes(AD)». 20 Y diciendo esto, les mostró las manos y el costado(AE). Entonces los discípulos se regocijaron al ver al Señor(AF). 21 Jesús les dijo otra vez: «Paz a ustedes(AG); como el Padre me ha enviado, así también Yo los envío(AH)».
22 Después de decir esto, sopló sobre ellos y les dijo*: «Reciban el Espíritu Santo. 23 A quienes perdonen los pecados, estos les son[e]perdonados; a quienes retengan los pecados, estos les son[f]retenidos(AI)».
Incredulidad de Tomás
24 Tomás, uno de los doce(AJ), llamado el Dídimo[g](AK), no estaba con ellos cuando Jesús vino. 25 Entonces los otros discípulos le decían: «¡Hemos visto al Señor!». Pero él les dijo: «Si no veo en Sus manos la señal de los clavos, y meto el dedo en el lugar de los clavos, y pongo la mano en Su costado(AL), no creeré(AM)».
26 Ocho días después, Sus discípulos estaban otra vez dentro[h], y Tomás con ellos. Estando las puertas cerradas, Jesús vino* y se puso en medio de ellos, y dijo: «Paz a ustedes(AN)». 27 Luego dijo* a Tomás: «Acerca aquí tu dedo, y mira Mis manos; extiende aquí tu mano y métela en Mi costado; y no seas incrédulo(AO), sino creyente». 28 «¡Señor mío y Dios mío!», le dijo Tomás. 29 Jesús le dijo*: «¿Porque me has visto has creído? Dichosos los que no vieron, y sin embargo creyeron(AP)».
El propósito de este evangelio según Juan
30 Y[i] muchas otras señales[j](AQ) hizo también Jesús(AR) en presencia de Sus discípulos, que no están escritas en este libro; 31 pero estas se han escrito para que ustedes crean(AS) que Jesús es el Cristo[k], el Hijo de Dios(AT); y para que al creer, tengan vida(AU) en Su nombre.

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)
