1 On the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala came to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from it. 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 So she ran, as fast as she could, to find Simon Peter and the other disciple--the one who was dear to Jesus--and to tell them, "They have taken the Master out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have put 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 and the other disciple started at once to go to the tomb, both of them running, 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 but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached it before he did. 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 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there on the ground, but he did not go 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 Simon Peter, however, also came, following him, and entered the tomb. There on the ground he saw the cloths; 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 towel, which had been placed over the face of Jesus, not lying with the cloths, but folded up and put by itself. 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 the other disciple, who had been the first to come to the tomb, also went in and saw and was convinced. 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 until now they had not understood the inspired teaching, that He must rise again from among 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 Then they went away and returned home. Then the disciples went back to their homes. Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.
11 Meanwhile Mary remained standing near the tomb, weeping aloud. She did not enter the tomb, but as she wept she stooped and looked in, 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 saw two angels clothed in white raiment, sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been. 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 They spoke to her. "Why are you weeping?" they asked. "Because," she replied, "they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put 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 While she was speaking, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but did not recognize Him. 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 "Why are you weeping?" He asked; "who are you looking for?" She, supposing that He was the gardener, replied, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I will remove him." 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 "Mary!" said Jesus. She turned to Him. "Rabboni!" she cried in Hebrew: the word means 'Teacher!' 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 "Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But take this message to my brethren: 'I am ascending to my Father and your Father, 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 Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples. "I have seen the Master," she said. And she told them that He had said these things to 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 On that same first day of the week, when it was evening and, for fear of the Jews, the doors of the house where the disciples were, were locked, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, "Peace be to 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!”

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 A second time, therefore, He said to them, "Peace be to you! As the Father sent me, I also now send 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 Having said this He breathed upon them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 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 If you remit the sins of any persons, they remain remitted to them. If you bind fast the sins of any, they remain bound." 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 Thomas, one of the twelve--surnamed 'the Twin' --was not among them when Jesus 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 So the rest of the disciples told him, "We have seen the Master!" His reply was, "Unless I see in his hands the wound made by the nails and put my finger into the wound, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe 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 A week later the disciples were again in the house, and Thomas was with them, when Jesus came--though the doors were locked--and stood in their midst, and said, "Peace be to 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 Then He said to Thomas, "Bring your finger here and feel my hands; bring you hand and put it into my side; and do not be ready to disbelieve but to believe." 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 "My Lord and my God!" replied Thomas. Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!” Thomas said to him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 "Because you have seen me," replied Jesus, "you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." 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 There were also a great number of other signs which Jesus performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not recorded in this book. 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 have been recorded in order that you may believe that He is the Christ, the Son of God, and that, through believing, you may have 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.
