| Chapter 20
|
| 1 | 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. |
