John 20
New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition
The Resurrection of Jesus
20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, ‘They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.’ 3 Then Peter and the other disciple set out and went towards the tomb. 4 The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent down to look in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he did not go in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen wrappings lying there, 7 and the cloth that had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen wrappings but rolled up in a place by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, who reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; 9 for as yet they did not understand the scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10 Then the disciples returned to their homes.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb. As she wept, she bent over to look[a] into the tomb; 12 and she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. 13 They said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping?’ She said to them, ‘They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.’ 14 When she had said this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, ‘Woman, why are you weeping? For whom are you looking?’ 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 in Hebrew,[b] ‘Rabbouni!’ (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, ‘Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”’ 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord’; and she told them that he had said these things to her.
Jesus Appears to the Disciples
19 When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’ 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’
Jesus and Thomas
24 But Thomas (who was called the Twin[c]), one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, ‘We have seen the Lord.’ But he said to them, ‘Unless I see the mark of the nails in his hands, and put my finger in the mark of the nails and my hand in his side, I will not believe.’
26 A week later his disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood among them and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ 27 Then he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here and see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it in my side. Do not doubt but believe.’ 28 Thomas answered him, ‘My Lord and my God!’ 29 Jesus said to him, ‘Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have come to believe.’
The Purpose of This Book
30 Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book. 31 But these are written so that you may come to believe[d] that Jesus is the Messiah,[e] the Son of God, and that through believing you may have life in his name.

Jesus uppstår från de döda
(Matt 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-8; Luk 24:1-12)
20 Tidigt på morgonen efter sabbaten medan det fortfarande var mörkt, kom Maria från Magdala till graven och upptäckte att stenen var borta från ingången. 2 Hon sprang då genast därifrån och sa till Simon Petrus och den lärjunge som Jesus älskade[a]: ”De har flyttat bort Herren från graven och vi vet inte var de har lagt honom!”
3 Petrus och den andre lärjungen gav sig då iväg till graven. 4 Båda sprang men den andre lärjungen sprang fortare än Petrus och kom dit först. 5 Han böjde sig ner och tittade in och såg linnesvepningen ligga där men han gick inte in. 6 Sedan kom Simon Petrus och han gick in i graven. Han såg också linnesvepningen som låg där 7 och dessutom den duk som hade täckt Jesus huvud. Den låg inte tillsammans med svepningen utan var hoprullad och låg för sig. 8 Då gick också den andre lärjungen in, han som hade kommit först till graven. Och han såg och trodde 9 för ännu hade de inte förstått av Skriften att Jesus måste uppstå från de döda.
Jesus visar sig för Maria från Magdala
(Matt 28:9-10; Mark 16:9-11)
10 Lärjungarna gick sedan hem till sig. 11 Men Maria stod och grät utanför graven och medan hon grät, lutade hon sig in. 12 Då fick hon se två vitklädda änglar sitta där Jesus kropp hade legat, en vid huvudändan och en vid fotändan.
13 Änglarna frågade henne: ”Varför gråter du, kvinna?”
Hon svarade: ”De har flyttat bort min Herre och nu vet jag inte var de har lagt honom.”
14 När hon hade sagt detta, vände hon sig om och fick se Jesus stå där men förstod inte att det var han.
15 Jesus frågade henne: ”Varför gråter du, kvinna? Vem letar du efter?” Men hon trodde att det var trädgårdsmästaren och därför svarade hon: ”Om det är du som har burit bort honom, så tala om för mig var du har lagt honom så att jag kan hämta honom!”
16 Då sa Jesus till henne: ”Maria!” Och genast vände hon sig mot honom och sa: ”Rabbouni!” (det är hebreiska och betyder ”Mästare”)[b].
17 Men Jesus sa: ”Håll inte fast mig[c], för jag har ännu inte återvänt till min Fader! Men gå till mina bröder och säg till dem att jag ska återvända till min Fader och er Fader, min Gud och er Gud!”
18 Maria från Magdala gick då till lärjungarna och talade om för dem att hon hade sett Herren och hon berättade vad han hade sagt.
Jesus visar sig för sina lärjungar
(Matt 28:16-20; Mark 16:14-18; Luk 24:36-49)
19 Samma dag, den första dagen i veckan, samlades lärjungarna på kvällen bakom låsta dörrar av rädsla för judarna. Då stod plötsligt Jesus mitt ibland dem och sa till dem: ”Frid åt er alla!” 20 Sedan visade han dem sina händer och sin sida. Lärjungarna gladde sig när de fick se Herren.
21 Jesus sa till dem igen: ”Frid åt er alla! Så som Fadern har sänt mig, sänder jag nu er.” 22 Sedan andades han på dem och sa: ”Ta emot den heliga Anden![d] 23 Om ni förlåter någon hans synder så är de förlåtna, men om ni binder någon i hans synder så är han bunden.[e]”
Jesus visar sig för Tomas
24 En av de tolv, Tomas som kallades Tvillingen, hade inte varit med de andra när Jesus kom. 25 De andra lärjungarna sa till honom: ”Vi har sett Herren!” Men Tomas svarade: ”Om jag inte får se hålen efter spikarna i hans händer och får ta på såren med mina fingrar och om jag inte får röra vid såret i hans sida med mina händer så kan jag inte tro.”
26 En vecka senare[f] var hans lärjungar samlade igen och då var Tomas tillsammans med dem. Och trots att dörrarna var låsta, stod då Jesus plötsligt mitt ibland dem och sa: ”Frid åt er alla!” 27 Sedan sa han till Tomas: ”Ta på mina händer här med ditt finger! Rör vid min sida med din hand! Tvivla inte utan tro!”
28 Tomas sa till honom: ”Min Herre och min Gud!”
29 Men Jesus sa till honom: ”Du tror därför att du har sett mig. Lyckliga är de som inte har sett men ändå tror.”
Bokens syfte
30 Jesus lärjungar såg honom göra många andra tecken förutom dem som är nedtecknade i den här boken. 31 Men dessa är nedskrivna för att ni ska tro att Jesus är Messias, Guds Son och för att ni ska få liv i hans namn genom att tro på honom.

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)

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.
