19 ¶ Se konsa Pilat bay lòd pran Jezi, bat li byen bat.

Sòlda yo trese yon kouwòn avèk branch pikan, yo mete l' nan tèt Jezi. Yo mete yon gwo rad wouj fonse sou li.

Yo pwoche bò kote l', yo di li: Bonjou, wa jwif yo. Epi yo souflete li.

Pilat soti ankò, li pale ak foul moun yo, li di: Koute. Mwen pral mennen l' isit la deyò pou nou ka konprann mwen pa jwenn okenn rezon pou m' kondannen nonm sa a.

Se konsa, Jezi soti: li te gen kouwòn pikan an nan tèt li ak gwo rad wouj fonse a sou li. Pilat di yo: Men nonm lan!

Lè chèf prèt yo ansanm ak gad yo wè l', yo kòmanse rele: Kloure l' sou yon kwa! Kloure l' sou yon kwa! Pilat di yo: Pran l', kloure l' sou kwa a nou menm. Mwen pa wè rezon pou m' kondannen l', mwen menm.

Jwif yo reponn li: Nou gen yon lwa. Dapre lwa sa a, li gen pou l' mouri paske li fè tèt li pase pou Pitit Bondye.

Lè Pilat tande sa, li vin pi pè toujou.

Li antre nan palè a, li mande Jezi: Ki kote ou soti? Men, Jezi pa reponn li.

10 Lè sa a, Pilat di li: Ou p'ap pale avè mwen? Ou pa konnen mwen gen pouvwa pou m' lage ou, mwen gen pouvwa pou m' fè yo kloure ou sou yon kwa?

11 Jezi reponn li: Ou pa ta gen okenn pouvwa sou mwen si se pa t' Bondye nan syèl la ki te ba ou li. Se poutèt sa, moun ki lage m' nan men ou lan, li pi koupab pase ou.

12 Depi lè sa a, Pilat t'ap chache yon jan pou l' lage Jezi. Men, jwif yo kòmanse rele: Si ou lage nonm sa a, ou pa zanmi Seza! Depi yon moun ap fè tèt li pase pou wa, se lènmi Seza li ye.

13 Lè Pilat tande koze sa a, li fè yo mennen Jezi deyò, li chita sou gwo chèz nan plas jij la, kote yo rele Lakou Pave a (an lang ebre yo rele l': Gabata).

14 Se te lavèy fèt Delivrans jwif yo, vè midi konsa. Pilat di jwif yo: Men wa nou an.

15 Men, yo kòmanse rele: Touye li! Touye li! Kloure l' sou yon kwa! Pilat di yo: Nou vle m' kloure wa nou an sou yon kwa? Chèf pret yo reponn li: Nou pa gen lòt wa pase Seza.

16 ¶ Lè sa a, Pilat renmèt yo Jezi pou y' al kloure l' sou yon kwa. Se konsa, yo pran Jezi, yo mennen l' ale.

17 Jezi soti deyò lavil la, li t'ap pote kwa li jouk yon kote yo rele: Zo bwa Tèt la (An lang ebre, yo rele l': Gòlgota).

18 Rive la, sòlda yo kloure l' sou kwa a. Anmenmtan yo kloure de lòt moun sou kwa tou, yonn chak bò, Jezi menm nan mitan yo.

19 ¶ Pilat te bay lòd pou yo te fè yon pankat pou mete sou tèt kwa a. Yo te ekri sou li: Jezi, moun Nazarèt la, wa jwif yo.

20 Anpil jwif te li sa ki te ekri sou pankat la. Kote yo te kloure Jezi sou kwa a te toupre lavil la. Pankat la menm te ekri nan twa lang: ebre, laten ak grèk.

21 Lè sa a, chèf prèt jwif yo di Pilat konsa: Pa ekri: Wa Jwif yo. Men, ekri pito: Nonm sa a di se wa jwif yo li ye.

22 Pilat reponn yo: Sa m' ekri a, m' ekri l' nèt.

23 Lè sòlda yo fin kloure Jezi sou kou a, yo pran rad li yo, yo fè kat pil ak yo, yo separe yo bay chak sòlda yo yonn. Yo pran gwo rad san kouti a, rad ki te fèt ak yon sèl pyès depi anwo jouk anba a.

24 Sòlda yo yonn di lòt: Nou p'ap chire rad sa a non. Ann tire osò pou konnen pou ki moun l'ap ye. Se konsa, pawòl ki te ekri nan Liv la rive vre: Yo separe rad mwen ant yo: Yo tire osò pou rad mwen an. Se sa menm sòlda yo te fè.

25 Bò kwa Jezi a te gen manman l' ak sè manman l', Mari, madanm Kleopas la, ansanm avèk Mari, moun lavil Magdala a.

26 Jezi wè manman l' ansanm ak disip li te renmen an toupre li. Li di manman l' konsa: Madanm, men pitit ou.

27 Li di disip la: Men manman ou. Depi lè sa a, disip la pran manman Jezi lakay li.

28 Jezi te konnen lè sa a tout bagay ki pou te fèt te fin fèt. Pou fè sa ki te ekri nan Liv la rive vre, li di: Mwen swaf.

29 Te gen yon veso plen venèg bò la. Sòlda yo tranpe yon eponj nan venèg la, yo mare l' nan pwent yon branch bwa yo rele izòp, yo pwoche l', yo mete l' bò bouch Jezi.

30 Lè Jezi fin pran venèg la, li di: Tou sa ki pou te rive rive! Apre sa, li bese tèt li, li mouri.

31 ¶ Se te lavèy jou repo a. Jwif yo pa t' vle pou kadav yo te rete sou kwa yo pandan jou repo a, paske jou repo a te yon gwo jou fèt. Yo mande Pilat pou fè kraze janm moun ki te kloure sou kwa yo, lèfini pou l' te fè wete kadav yo.

32 Se lè sa a, sòlda yo vini, yo kraze janm premye nonm yo te kloure sou kwa menm lè ak Jezi a. Apre sa, yo kraze janm dezyèm lan tou.

33 Men, lè yo rive sou Jezi, yo wè li te gen tan mouri. Se sak fè yo pa t' kraze janm li yo.

34 Men, yonn nan sòlda yo pèse bò kòt li avèk yon lans. Lamenm, dlo ak san koule sot nan twou a.

35 Moun k'ap rapòte bagay sa yo te wè yo ak je li. Sa l'ap di a se vre. Li konnen li menm l'ap di laverite, pou nou menm tou nou ka kwè.

36 Tou sa pase konsa pou pawòl ki te ekri nan Liv la te ka rive vre: Yo pa kraze yon sèl zo nan kò li.

37 Gen yon lòt pawòl yo te ekri ankò ki di: Y'a leve je yo gade, y'a wè moun yo te pèse a.

38 ¶ Apre sa, Jozèf, moun lavil Arimate a, al mande Pilat pèmisyon pou li te pran kò Jezi. (Jozèf sa a te yon disip Jezi, men an kachèt, paske li te pè jwif yo.) Pilat ba l' pèmisyon an. Se konsa, Jozèf vini, li pran kò Jezi, li pote l' ale.

39 Nikodèm, nonm ki ta l' jwenn Jezi yon lè nan mitan lannwit lan, te vini tou. Li te pote senkant lit konsa yon odè yo rele lami melanje ak lalwa nan lwil.

40 Yo tou de rive, yo pran Jezi. Pandan yo t'ap vlope l' nan bann twal fin yo, yo mete lwil santi bon sou li jan jwif yo te konn fè lè y'ap antere moun.

41 Kote yo te kloure Jezi sou kwa a te gen yon jaden. Nan jaden an te gen yon kavo tou nèf. Yo pa t' ankò mete pesonn ladan li.

42 Se te lavèy jou repo jwif yo, epi kavo a te toupre. Se sak fè, se la yo te mete kò Jezi a.

20 ¶ Nan dimanch maten, byen bonè, li pa t' ankò fin jou, Mari, moun Magdala a, al nan kavo a. Li wè yo te wete wòch ki te fèmen bouch kavo a.

Li kouri, li al jwenn Simon Pyè ansanm ak lòt disip Jezi te renmen an, li di yo: Yo wete Seyè a kote l' te ye nan kavo a. Nou pa konn kote yo mete li.

Pyè pati ansanm ak lòt disip la, y' al nan kavo a.

Yo t'ap kouri ansanm, men lòt disip la t'ap kouri pi vit pase Pyè. Li rive bò kavo a anvan li.

Li bese pou l' gade anndan an. Li wè bann twal fin yo te fè yon pil atè a. Men, li pa antre.

Lè Simon Pyè rive dèyè l', li antre nan kavo a. Li wè bann twal fin yo anpile atè a

ansanm ak moso twal ki te mare tèt Jezi a. Men, moso twal sa a pa t' menm kote ak bann twal fin yo. Li te vlope apa yon lòt kote.

Se lè sa a, lòt disip ki te rive bò kavo a anvan an antre tou. Li wè, li kwè.

(Disip yo pa t' ankò konprann sa ki te ekri nan Liv la kote yo te di Jezi te gen pou l' te leve soti vivan pami mò yo.)

10 Apre sa, tou de disip yo tounen lakay yo.

11 ¶ Mari menm te rete deyò toupre kavo a. Li t'ap kriye. Antan l' t'ap kriye konsa, li bese tèt li pou l' gade anndan kavo a.

12 Li wè de zanj Bondye abiye tout an blan, chita kote yo te mete kò Jezi a, yonn nan plas tèt la, lòt la nan plas pye yo.

13 Zanj yo mande li: Madanm, poukisa w'ap kriye konsa? Li reponn yo: Yo wete Seyè mwen an, m' pa konn kote yo mete li.

14 Lè l' fin di sa, li vire tèt li, li wè Jezi ki te kanpe la, men li pa t' rekonèt si se te Jezi.

15 Jezi mande li: Madanm, poukisa w'ap kriye konsa? Ki moun w'ap chache? Mari menm te kwè se te mèt jaden an. Se poutèt sa li di li: Mèt, si se ou menm ki wete l', di m' ki bò ou mete li. M'a v al pran li.

16 Jezi di li: Mari! Mari vire bò kot Jezi, li di l' an lang ebre: Rabouni (sa vle di: Mèt).

17 Jezi di li: Pa manyen m'! Mwen poko moute al jwenn Papa mwen. Men, ale jwenn frè m' yo, di yo m'ap moute bò kot Papa m' ki papa nou tou, m'ap moute bò kot Bondye m' ki Bondye nou tou.

18 Se konsa Mari, moun Magdala a, al di disip yo: Mwen wè Seyè a. Epi li rakonte yo sa Jezi te di li.

19 ¶ Menm jou dimanch sa a, nan aswè, disip yo te reyini nan yon kay. Yo te fèmen pòt yo akle paske yo te pè jwif yo. Jezi vini, li kanpe nan mitan yo, li di yo: benediksyon Bondye sou nou tout!

20 Apre li fin di yo sa, li moutre yo de pla men l' ak bò kòt li. Disip yo pa t' manke kontan lè yo wè Seyè a.

21 Jezi di yo ankò: benediksyon Bondye sou nou tout! Menm jan Papa a te voye m' lan, se konsa m'ap voye nou tou.

22 Apre pawòl sa yo, li soufle sou yo, li di yo: Resevwa Sentespri.

23 Moun n'a padone peche yo, y'a resevwa padon vre. Moun n'a refize padone, yo p'ap resevwa padon.

24 Men, twouve Toma, yonn nan douz disip yo ki te rele Jimo, pa t' la avèk yo lè Jezi te vini an.

25 Lòt disip yo di li: Nou wè Seyè a. Men, Toma reponn yo: Si m' pa wè mak klou yo nan pla men l', si m' pa mete dwèt mwen nan plas kote klou yo te ye a, si m' pa mete men m' nan bò kòt li, mwen p'ap kwè.

26 ¶ Yon senmenn apre sa, disip Jezi yo te reyini ankò anndan kay la. Fwa sa a Toma te la avèk yo. Tout pòt yo te fèmen akle. Jezi vini, li kanpe nan mitan yo, li di: benediksyon Bondye sou nou tout.

27 Apre sa li di Toma: Mete dwèt ou isit la. Men. Gade men m' yo. Lonje men ou, mete l' la bò kòt mwen. Wete doutans nan kè ou. Kwè, tande.

28 Toma reponn li: Seyè mwen, Bondye mwen!

29 Jezi di li: Koulye a, se paske ou wè m' kifè ou kwè? benediksyon pou tout moun ki va kwè san yo pa wè mwen!

30 Jezi te fè anpil lòt mirak ankò devan disip li yo, men nou pa rapòte yo nan liv sa a.

31 Tou sa ki ekri nan Liv sa a, mwen ekri yo pou nou ka kwè Jezi se Kris la, Pitit Bondye, pou lè nou kwè a nou ka gen lavi nan li.

21 ¶ Kèk jou apre sa, Jezi fè disip yo wè l' ankò, bò lanmè Tiberyad la. Men ki jan sa te pase:

Simon Pyè, Toma (yo rele Jimo a), Natanayèl (ki te moun Kana nan peyi Galile) ak de pitit Zebede yo te la ansanm ak de lòt nan disip Jezi yo.

Simon Pyè di: Mwen pral lapèch. Yo di li: Nou menm tou, nou pral avè ou. Se konsa yo pati, yo moute nan yon kannòt. Men, yo pase tout nwit lan yo pa t' pran anyen.

Li te kòmanse fè jou lè Jezi parèt bò dlo a. Men disip yo pa t' rekonèt si se te li menm.

Jezi di yo konsa: Mesye m' yo, èske nou pran pwason? Yo reponn li: Non, nou pa pran anyen.

Li di yo: Lage privye a sou bò dwat kannòt la, n'a jwenn kichòy. Yo lage privye a. Men, yo pa t' kapab rale l' soti nan dlo a sitèlman li te plen pwason.

Disip Jezi te renmen an di Pyè konsa: Se Seyè a wi. Lè Simon Pyè tande pawòl sa yo: Se Seyè a, li mete rad sou li (paske li te toutouni), li lage kò l' nan dlo a.

Lòt disip yo menm t'ap tounen atè nan kannòt la, yo t'ap trennen privye ki te plen pwason an dèyè yo. Yo pa t' twò lwen rivay la, san (100) mèt konsa.

Lè yo desann atè, yo wè yon dife ki te limen sou rivay la avèk kèk pwason ap boukannen ladan li. Te gen pen tou.

10 Jezi di yo: Pote kèk pwason nan sa nou fèk sot pran yo.

11 Simon Pyè moute nan kannòt la, li rale prive a tou plen vin atè. Te gen sansenkanntwa (153) gwo pwason ladan li. Men atousa, privye a pa t' chire.

12 Jezi di yo: vin manje. Yo yonn nan disip yo pa t' gen kouraj mande li: Ki moun ou ye? Yo tout te konnen se te Seyè a.

13 Jezi pwoche bò kote yo, li pran pen, li ba yo. Li ba yo pwason tou.

14 Sa te fè twazyèm fwa Jezi te fè disip li yo wè l' depi l' te leve soti vivan nan lanmò.

15 ¶ Lè yo fin manje, Jezi di Simon Pyè konsa: Simon, pitit Jan, èske ou renmen m' plis pase moun sa yo renmen mwen? Simon Pyè reponn: Wi, Seyè, ou konnen mwen renmen ou. Jezi di li: Pran swen ti mouton m' yo.

16 Li mande l' yon dezyèm fwa: Simon, pitit Jan, èske ou renmen mwen? Li reponn: Wi, Seyè, ou konnen mwen renmen ou. Jezi di li: Pran swen mouton m' yo.

17 Apre sa, li mande l' yon twazyèm fwa: Simon, pitit Jan, èske ou renmen mwen? Sa te fè Simon lapenn anpil lè l' wè Jezi te mande l' yon twazyèm fwa: Eske ou renmen mwen? Li reponn li: Seyè, ou konn tout bagay. Ou konnen mwen renmen ou. Jezi di l' konsa: Pran swen mouton m' yo.

18 Sa m'ap di ou la a, se vre wi. Lè ou te jenn ti gason, ou te konn mare sentiwon ou pou kont ou. Lè sa a, ou te konn ale kote ou te vle. Men, lè wa fin granmoun, wa lonje de bra ou konsa, se moun ki va mare sentiwon ou pou ou. Lè sa a, y'a mennen ou kote ou pa ta vle ale.

19 (Lè Jezi t'ap pale konsa, li t'ap moutre ki jan Pyè tapral mouri pou sa te sèvi yon lwanj pou Bondye.) Apre sa, Jezi di li: Swiv mwen.

20 ¶ Pyè vire tèt li, li wè disip Jezi te renmen an ki t'ap vin dèyè yo. Se disip sa a ki te panche bò zòrèy Jezi, antan yo t'ap manje a, ki te mande li: Seyè, ki moun ki pral trayi ou la?

21 Se konsa, Pyè wè l' ap vini, li mande Jezi: Seyè, e nonm sa a, kisak pral rive li?

22 Jezi reponn li: Si m' vle li rete vivan jouk lè m' gen pou m' tounen an, sa sa gade ou? Ou menm, swiv mwen.

23 Se konsa, nouvèl la gaye nan mitan frè yo: disip sa a p'ap janm mouri. Men, Jezi pa t' di Pyè: Li p'ap janm mouri. Li te di l' konsa: Si m' vle li rete vivan jouk lè m' gen pou m' tounen an, sa sa gade ou?

24 Se menm disip sa a k'ap rapòte tout bagay sa yo. Se li menm ki ekri yo. Nou konnen sa l'ap di a se verite.

25 Jezi te fè anpil lòt bagay ankò. Si yon moun ta pran ekri liv pou rakonte yo tout, yonn apre lòt, mwen pa kwè ta gen plas sou latè pou mete liv sa yo.

Jesus Sentenced to Be Crucified(A)

19 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him flogged.(B) The soldiers twisted together a crown of thorns and put it on his head. They clothed him in a purple robe and went up to him again and again, saying, “Hail, king of the Jews!”(C) And they slapped him in the face.(D)

Once more Pilate came out and said to the Jews gathered there, “Look, I am bringing him out(E) to you to let you know that I find no basis for a charge against him.”(F) When Jesus came out wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe,(G) Pilate said to them, “Here is the man!”

As soon as the chief priests and their officials saw him, they shouted, “Crucify! Crucify!”

But Pilate answered, “You take him and crucify him.(H) As for me, I find no basis for a charge against him.”(I)

The Jewish leaders insisted, “We have a law, and according to that law he must die,(J) because he claimed to be the Son of God.”(K)

When Pilate heard this, he was even more afraid, and he went back inside the palace.(L) “Where do you come from?” he asked Jesus, but Jesus gave him no answer.(M) 10 “Do you refuse to speak to me?” Pilate said. “Don’t you realize I have power either to free you or to crucify you?”

11 Jesus answered, “You would have no power over me if it were not given to you from above.(N) Therefore the one who handed me over to you(O) is guilty of a greater sin.”

12 From then on, Pilate tried to set Jesus free, but the Jewish leaders kept shouting, “If you let this man go, you are no friend of Caesar. Anyone who claims to be a king(P) opposes Caesar.”

13 When Pilate heard this, he brought Jesus out and sat down on the judge’s seat(Q) at a place known as the Stone Pavement (which in Aramaic(R) is Gabbatha). 14 It was the day of Preparation(S) of the Passover; it was about noon.(T)

“Here is your king,”(U) Pilate said to the Jews.

15 But they shouted, “Take him away! Take him away! Crucify him!”

“Shall I crucify your king?” Pilate asked.

“We have no king but Caesar,” the chief priests answered.

16 Finally Pilate handed him over to them to be crucified.(V)

The Crucifixion of Jesus(W)

So the soldiers took charge of Jesus. 17 Carrying his own cross,(X) he went out to the place of the Skull(Y) (which in Aramaic(Z) is called Golgotha). 18 There they crucified him, and with him two others(AA)—one on each side and Jesus in the middle.

19 Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: jesus of nazareth,(AB) the king of the jews.(AC) 20 Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city,(AD) and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. 21 The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, “Do not write ‘The King of the Jews,’ but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews.”(AE)

22 Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.”

23 When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.

24 “Let’s not tear it,” they said to one another. “Let’s decide by lot who will get it.”

This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled(AF) that said,

“They divided my clothes among them
    and cast lots for my garment.”[a](AG)

So this is what the soldiers did.

25 Near the cross(AH) of Jesus stood his mother,(AI) his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.(AJ) 26 When Jesus saw his mother(AK) there, and the disciple whom he loved(AL) standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman,[b] here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home.

The Death of Jesus(AM)

28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished,(AN) and so that Scripture would be fulfilled,(AO) Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar(AP) was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.”(AQ) With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

31 Now it was the day of Preparation,(AR) and the next day was to be a special Sabbath. Because the Jewish leaders did not want the bodies left on the crosses(AS) during the Sabbath, they asked Pilate to have the legs broken and the bodies taken down. 32 The soldiers therefore came and broke the legs of the first man who had been crucified with Jesus, and then those of the other.(AT) 33 But when they came to Jesus and found that he was already dead, they did not break his legs. 34 Instead, one of the soldiers pierced(AU) Jesus’ side with a spear, bringing a sudden flow of blood and water.(AV) 35 The man who saw it(AW) has given testimony, and his testimony is true.(AX) He knows that he tells the truth, and he testifies so that you also may believe. 36 These things happened so that the scripture would be fulfilled:(AY) “Not one of his bones will be broken,”[c](AZ) 37 and, as another scripture says, “They will look on the one they have pierced.”[d](BA)

The Burial of Jesus(BB)

38 Later, Joseph of Arimathea asked Pilate for the body of Jesus. Now Joseph was a disciple of Jesus, but secretly because he feared the Jewish leaders.(BC) With Pilate’s permission, he came and took the body away. 39 He was accompanied by Nicodemus,(BD) the man who earlier had visited Jesus at night. Nicodemus brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about seventy-five pounds.[e] 40 Taking Jesus’ body, the two of them wrapped it, with the spices, in strips of linen.(BE) This was in accordance with Jewish burial customs.(BF) 41 At the place where Jesus was crucified, there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb, in which no one had ever been laid. 42 Because it was the Jewish day of Preparation(BG) and since the tomb was nearby,(BH) they laid Jesus there.

The Empty Tomb(BI)

20 Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene(BJ) went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.(BK) So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved,(BL) and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”(BM)

So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.(BN) Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. He bent over and looked in(BO) at the strips of linen(BP) lying there but did not go in. Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there, as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head.(BQ) The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen. Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first,(BR) also went inside. He saw and believed. (They still did not understand from Scripture(BS) that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)(BT) 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(BU) 12 and saw two angels in white,(BV) 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?”(BW)

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”(BX) 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,(BY) but she did not realize that it was Jesus.(BZ)

15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?(CA) 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,(CB) “Rabboni!”(CC) (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(CD) and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father(CE) and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

18 Mary Magdalene(CF) went to the disciples(CG) 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,(CH) Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace(CI) be with you!”(CJ) 20 After he said this, he showed them his hands and side.(CK) The disciples were overjoyed(CL) when they saw the Lord.

21 Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you!(CM) As the Father has sent me,(CN) I am sending you.”(CO) 22 And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.(CP) 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”(CQ)

Jesus Appears to Thomas

24 Now Thomas(CR) (also known as Didymus[f]), 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,(CS) I will not believe.”(CT)

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(CU) be with you!”(CV) 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.”(CW)

28 Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”

29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed;(CX) blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”(CY)

The Purpose of John’s Gospel

30 Jesus performed many other signs(CZ) in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.(DA) 31 But these are written that you may believe[g](DB) that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God,(DC) and that by believing you may have life in his name.(DD)

Jesus and the Miraculous Catch of Fish

21 Afterward Jesus appeared again to his disciples,(DE) by the Sea of Galilee.[h](DF) It happened this way: Simon Peter, Thomas(DG) (also known as Didymus[i]), Nathanael(DH) from Cana in Galilee,(DI) the sons of Zebedee,(DJ) and two other disciples were together. “I’m going out to fish,” Simon Peter told them, and they said, “We’ll go with you.” So they went out and got into the boat, but that night they caught nothing.(DK)

Early in the morning, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples did not realize that it was Jesus.(DL)

He called out to them, “Friends, haven’t you any fish?”

“No,” they answered.

He said, “Throw your net on the right side of the boat and you will find some.” When they did, they were unable to haul the net in because of the large number of fish.(DM)

Then the disciple whom Jesus loved(DN) said to Peter, “It is the Lord!” As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, “It is the Lord,” he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.[j] When they landed, they saw a fire(DO) of burning coals there with fish on it,(DP) and some bread.

10 Jesus said to them, “Bring some of the fish you have just caught.” 11 So Simon Peter climbed back into the boat and dragged the net ashore. It was full of large fish, 153, but even with so many the net was not torn. 12 Jesus said to them, “Come and have breakfast.” None of the disciples dared ask him, “Who are you?” They knew it was the Lord. 13 Jesus came, took the bread and gave it to them, and did the same with the fish.(DQ) 14 This was now the third time Jesus appeared to his disciples(DR) after he was raised from the dead.

Jesus Reinstates Peter

15 When they had finished eating, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?”

“Yes, Lord,” he said, “you know that I love you.”(DS)

Jesus said, “Feed my lambs.”(DT)

16 Again Jesus said, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

He answered, “Yes, Lord, you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Take care of my sheep.”(DU)

17 The third time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?”

Peter was hurt because Jesus asked him the third time, “Do you love me?”(DV) He said, “Lord, you know all things;(DW) you know that I love you.”

Jesus said, “Feed my sheep.(DX) 18 Very truly I tell you, when you were younger you dressed yourself and went where you wanted; but when you are old you will stretch out your hands, and someone else will dress you and lead you where you do not want to go.” 19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death(DY) by which Peter would glorify God.(DZ) Then he said to him, “Follow me!”(EA)

20 Peter turned and saw that the disciple whom Jesus loved(EB) was following them. (This was the one who had leaned back against Jesus at the supper and had said, “Lord, who is going to betray you?”)(EC) 21 When Peter saw him, he asked, “Lord, what about him?”

22 Jesus answered, “If I want him to remain alive until I return,(ED) what is that to you? You must follow me.”(EE) 23 Because of this, the rumor spread among the believers(EF) that this disciple would not die. But Jesus did not say that he would not die; he only said, “If I want him to remain alive until I return, what is that to you?”

24 This is the disciple who testifies to these things(EG) and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true.(EH)

25 Jesus did many other things as well.(EI) If every one of them were written down, I suppose that even the whole world would not have room for the books that would be written.
