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.
