John 20

¹And the first of the Sabboth, Mary Magdalene cometh early, when it was yet dark, unto the monument: and she saw the stone taken away from the monument.

²She ran therefore and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other Disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith to them: They have taken our Lord out of the monument, and we know not where they have laid him.

³Peter therefore went forth and that other Disciple, and they came to the monument.

⁴And both ran together, and that other Disciple did out-run Peter, and came first to the monument.

⁵And when he had stooped down, he saw the linen cloths lying: but yet he went not in.

⁶Simon Peter therefore cometh, following him, and went into the monument and saw the linen cloths lying,

⁷and the napkin that had been upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but apart, wrapped up into one place.

⁸Then therefore went in that other Disciple also which came first to the monument: and he saw, and believed.

⁹For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he should rise again from the dead.

¹⁰The Disciples therefore departed again to themselves.

¹¹But Mary stood at the monument without, weeping. Therefore as she was weeping, she stooped down, & looked into the monument:

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.

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 put him.

¹⁴When she had said thus, she turned backward, and saw Jesus standing; and she knew not that it is Jesus.

¹⁵Jesus saith to her: Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She thinking that it was the gardener, saith to him: Sir, if thou hast carried him away, tell me where thou hast laid him; and I will take him away.

¹⁶Jesus saith to her: Mary. She turning saith to him: Rabboni (which is to say, Master.)

¹⁷Jesus said 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 your Father, my God and your God.

¹⁸Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the Disciples, That I have seen our Lord, and thus he said unto me.

¹⁹Therefore when it was late that day, the first of the Sabboths, and the doors were shut, where the Disciples were gathered together for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them: Peace be to you.

²⁰And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and side. The Disciples therefore were glad when they saw our Lord.

²¹He said therefore to them again: Peace be to you. As my Father hath sent me, I also do send you.

²²When he had said this: he breathed upon them; and he said to them: Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

²³Whose Sins You Shall Forgive, They Are Forgiven Them: And Whose You Shall Retain, They Are Retained.

²⁴But Thomas one of the Twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁵The other Disciples therefore said to him: We have seen our Lord. But he said to them: unless I 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.

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.

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; & be not incredulous but faithful.

²⁸Thomas answered, & said to him: My Lord, & my God.

²⁹Jesus saith to him: Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed: Blessed are they that have not seen & have believed.

³⁰Many other signs also did Jesus in the sight of his Disciples, which are not written in this Book.

³¹And these are written, that you may believe that Jesus is Christ the Son of God: and that believing, you may have life in his name.
