1 Nowe the first day of the weeke came Marie Magdalene, early when it was yet darke, vnto the sepulchre, and sawe the stone taken away from the tombe. Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.
2 Then she ranne, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Iesus loued, and saide vnto them, They haue taken away the Lorde out of the sepulchre, and we knowe not where they haue laid him. 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.” So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put him!”
3 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they came vnto the sepulchre. So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.
4 So they ranne both together, but the other disciple did outrunne Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. Both of them were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first. Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
5 And he stouped downe, and sawe the linnen clothes lying: yet went he not in. And stooping to look in, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in. He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in.
6 Then came Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and sawe the linnen clothes lye, Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there, Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there,
7 And the kerchiefe that was vpon his head, not lying with the linnen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by it selfe. and the face cloth, which had been on Jesus’ head, not lying with the linen cloths but folded up in a place by itself. as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen.
8 Then went in also the other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he sawe it, and beleeued. Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in, and he saw and believed; Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.
9 For as yet they knewe not the Scripture, That he must rise againe from the dead. for as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. (They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)
10 And the disciples went away againe vnto their owne home. Then the disciples went back to their homes. Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
11 But Marie stoode without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she bowed her selfe into the sepulchre, But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb
12 And sawe two Angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feete, where the body of Iesus had laien. And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.
13 And they said vnto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She said vnto them, They haue taken away my Lord, and I know not where they haue laide him. 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.” They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?” “They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”
14 When she had thus said, she turned her selfe backe, and sawe Iesus standing, and knewe not that it was Iesus. Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus. At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.
15 Iesus saith vnto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She supposing that he had bene the gardener, said vnto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. Jesus said to her, “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.” He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? 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 Iesus saith vnto her, Marie. She turned her selfe, and said vnto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master. Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17 Iesus saith vnto her, Touch me not: for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but goe to my brethren, and say vnto them, I ascend vnto my Father, and to your Father, and to my God, and your God. Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for 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.’” Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Marie Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seene the Lord, and that he had spoken these things vnto her. Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her. Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
19 The same day then at night, which was the first day of the weeke, and when the doores were shut where the disciples were assembled for feare of the Iewes, came Iesus and stoode in the middes, and saide to them, Peace be vnto you. On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” 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, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!”
20 And when he had so saide, he shewed vnto them his handes, and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they had seene the Lord. When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.
21 Then saide Iesus to them againe, Peace be vnto you: as my Father sent me, so sende I you. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.” Again Jesus said, “Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you.”
22 And when he had saide that, he breathed on them, and saide vnto them, Receiue the holy Ghost. And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. And with that he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Whosoeuers sinnes ye remit, they are remitted vnto them: and whosoeuers sinnes ye reteine, they are reteined. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.” If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
24 But Thomas one of the twelue, called Didymus, was not with them when Iesus came. Now Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. Now Thomas (also known as Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
25 The other disciples therefore saide vnto him, We haue seene the Lord: but he said vnto them, Except I see in his handes the print of the nailes, and put my finger into the print of the nailes, and put mine hand into his side, I will not beleeue it. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and place my finger into the mark of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” 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, I will not believe.”
26 And eight dayes after, againe his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Then came Iesus, when the doores were shut, and stood in the middes, and said, Peace be vnto you. Eight days later, his disciples were inside again, and Thomas was with them. Although the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 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 be with you!”
27 After saide he to Thomas, Put thy finger here, and see mine hands, & put forth thine hand, and put it into my side, and be not faithlesse, but faithfull. Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe.” 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.”
28 Then Thomas answered, & said vnto him, Thou art my Lord, and my God. Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Iesus said vnto him, Thomas, because thou hast seene me, thou beleeuest: blessed are they that haue not seene, and haue beleeued. Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen me? Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.” Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
30 And many other signes also did Iesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this booke. Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.
31 But these things are written, that ye might beleeue, that Iesus is that Christ that Sonne of God, and that in beleeuing ye might haue life through his Name. but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name. But these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.
