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. 2 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!”
3 At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb. 4 The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first. 5 Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths(H) lying there, yet he did not go in. 6 Then, following him, Simon Peter came also. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there. 7 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. 8 The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then entered the tomb, saw, and believed. 9 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)

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.

New American Standard Bible 1995
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 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 rolled 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 their own homes.
11 (O)But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she (P)stooped and looked 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 weeping?” 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 weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing 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 brethren 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 among His Disciples
19 So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when 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 breathed on them and *said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 (AI)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 (AJ)Thomas, one of (AK)the twelve, called [d](AL)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 (AM)His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, (AN)I will not believe.”
26 [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, “(AO)Peace be with you.” 27 Then He *said to Thomas, “(AP)Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand 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? (AQ)Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”
Why This Gospel Was Written
30 (AR)Therefore many other [g](AS)signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these have been written (AT)so that you may believe that Jesus is [h]the Christ, (AU)the Son of God; and that (AV)believing you may have life in His name.
