1And on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalen cometh early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre; and she saw the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
1Early 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.
2She ran, therefore, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith to them: They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
2So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,” she said, “and we do not know where they have put Him!”
3Peter therefore went out, and that other disciple, and they came to the sepulchre.
3Then Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb.
4And they both ran together, and that other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
4The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.
5And when he stooped down, he saw the linen cloths lying; but yet he went not in.
5He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.
6Then cometh Simon Peter, following him, and went into the sepulchre, and saw the linen cloths lying,
6Simon Peter arrived just after him. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.
7And the napkin that had been about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but apart, wrapped up into one place.
7The cloth that had been around Jesus’ head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths.
8Then that other disciple also went in, who came first to the sepulchre: and he saw, and believed.
8Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in. And he saw and believed.
9For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
9For they still did not understand from the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.
10The disciples therefore departed again to their home.
10Then the disciples returned to their homes.
11But Mary stood at the sepulchre without, weeping. Now as she was weeping, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
11But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb,
12And she saw two angels in white, sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.
12and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and the other at the feet.
13They say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them: Because they have taken away my Lord; and I know not where they have laid him.
13“Woman, why are you weeping?” they asked. “Because they have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I do not know where they have put Him.”
14When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing; and she knew not that it was Jesus.
14When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not recognize that it was Jesus.
15Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, thinking it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast taken him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
15“Woman, why are you weeping?” Jesus asked. “Whom are you seeking?” Thinking He was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried Him off, tell me where you have put Him, and I will get Him.”
16Jesus saith to her: Mary. She turning, saith to him: Rabboni (which is to say, Master).
16Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).
17Jesus saith to her: Do not touch me, for I am not yet ascended to my Father. But go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and your God.
17“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”
18Mary Magdalen cometh, and telleth the disciples: I have seen the Lord, and these things he said to me.
18Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.
19Now when it was late that same day, the first of the week, and the doors were shut, where the disciples were gathered together, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them: Peace be to you.
19It was the first day of the week, and that very evening, while the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you!” He said to them.
20And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad, when they saw the Lord.
20After He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father hath sent me, I also send you.
21Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”
22When he had said this, he breathed on them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost.
22When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained.
23If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”
24Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
24Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.
25The other disciples therefore said to him: We have seen the Lord. But he said to them: Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.
25So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands, and put my finger where the nails have been, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe.”
26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said: Peace be to you.
26Eight days later, His disciples were once again inside with the doors locked, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”
27Then he saith to Thomas: Put in thy finger hither, and see my hands; and bring hither thy hand, and put it into my side; and be not faithless, but believing.
27Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.”
28Thomas answered, and said to him: My Lord, and my God.
28Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”
29Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and have believed.
29Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
30Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
