John Chapter 20

1 On the first of the week~, early when it was yet dark, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb+ and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb+.
2 Therefore+ Mary ran + to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved and said to them: They have taken the Lord from+ the tomb and we do not know where they have laid Him.
3 Then Peter + and that other disciple went+ quickly to the tomb+.
4 The two+ ran together and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb+ first.
5 Stooping down to look in, he saw the linen clothes lying there, yet he did not go in.
6 Then Simon Peter came following him and went into the tomb+ and saw the linen clothes lying there.
7 The cloth+ that had been around+ Jesus' head was not lying with the linen clothes, but was folded+ in a place by itself.
8 Then the other disciple who came to the tomb+ first also went in and saw all these things and believed.
9 For as yet they did not understand+ the Scripture that Jesus must rise again from the dead. Psalm 16:10
10 Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.
11 But Mary stood outside+ the tomb+ weeping. As she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb+.
12 She saw two angels in white sitting. One sat at the head and the other at the feet where Jesus' body had lain.
13 They said to her: Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them: Because they have taken away my Lord and I do not know where they have laid Him.
14 When she had thus said, she turned back, and saw Jesus standing, but did not understand+ that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus said to her: Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him: Sir, if you have moved+ Him from here, 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: Rabboni. Which is to say, Master.
17 Jesus said to her: Do not touch me now. For I have not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brothers and say to them: I am now ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.
18 Then Mary Magdalene went+ to the disciples and told them that she had seen the Lord and that He had spoken these things to her.
19 Therefore, it being evening of that day, the first of the week~, and the doors where the disciples were assembled having been shut for fear of the Jews, Jesus came forth and stood in the midst and said to them: Peace to you.
20 When He had said this, He showed them His hands and side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw that it was the Lord.
21 Then Jesus said to them again: Peace to you. As my Father has sent me, even so I now send you.
22 When He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them: Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Those+ sins you forgive+ are forgiven+ to them and those+ you retain, are retained.
24 Now one of the twelve, Thomas also called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25 Therefore, the other disciples said to him: We have seen the Lord. But He said to them: Unless+ I see the print of the nails in His hands and put my finger into the print of the nails and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe.
26 After eight days, Jesus' disciples were again inside+ the room and Thomas with them. Although the doors were shut, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said: Peace to you.
27 Then He said to Thomas: Bring+ your finger here and behold my hands. Bring your hand and thrust it into my side. Do not be faithless, but believing. Psalm 22:16
28 Thomas answered and said to Him: My Lord and my God.
29 Jesus said to him: Thomas, you have believed because you have seen me. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.
30 And indeed+, Jesus did many other signs~ in the presence of His disciples that are not written in this book.
31 But these are written so that you might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, so that by believing you might have life through His name.
