John 20

20Early 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.G1161G3391G4521G2064G3137G3094G4404G5607G2089G4653G1519G3419G2532G991G3037G142G1537G34192So 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!"G3767G5143G2532G2064G4314G4613G4074G2532G4314G243G3101G3739G2424G5368G2532G3004G846G142G2962G1537G3419G2532G1492G3756G4226G5087G8463So Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb.G4074G3767G1831G2532G243G3101G2532G2064G1519G34194Both were running, but the other disciple outran Peter and reached the tomb first.G1161G5143G1417G3674G2532G243G3101G4390G5032G4074G2532G2064G4413G1519G34195He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there but did not go in.G2532G3879G991G3608G2749G3305G1525G3756G15256Then Simon Peter came along behind him and went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there,G3767G2064G4613G4074G190G846G2532G1525G1519G3419G2532G2334G3608G27497as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus' head. The cloth was still lying in its place, separate from the linen.G2532G4676G3739G2258G1909G846G2776G3756G2749G3326G3608G235G1794G1519G5117G1520G55658Finally the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.G5119G3767G1525G2532G243G3101G3588G2064G4413G1519G3419G2532G1492G2532G41009(They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.)G1063G3764G1492G3764G1124G3754G846G1163G450G1537G349810Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.G3767G3101G565G3825G4314G143811Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tombG1161G3137G2476G1854G4314G3419G2799G3767G5613G2799G3879G1519G341912and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.G2532G2334G1417G32G1722G3022G2516G1520G4314G2776G2532G1520G4314G4228G3699G4983G2424G274913They 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."G2532G1565G3004G846G1135G5101G2799G3004G846G3754G142G3450G2962G2532G1492G3756G4226G5087G84614At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus.G2532G2036G5023G2036G4762G1519G3694G2532G2334G2424G2476G2532G1492G3756G3754G2076G242415He 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."G2424G3004G846G1135G5101G2799G5101G2212G1565G1380G3754G2076G2780G3004G846G2962G1487G4771G941G846G941G2036G3427G4226G5087G846G2504G142G846G14216Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means "Teacher").G2424G3004G846G3137G1565G4762G3004G846G4462G3739G3004G132017Jesus 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.' "G2424G3004G846G680G3450G3361G1063G305G3768G305G4314G3450G3962G1161G4198G4314G3450G80G2532G2036G846G305G4314G3450G3962G2532G5216G3962G2532G3450G2316G2532G5216G231618Mary 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.G3137G3094G2064G518G3101G3754G3708G2962G2532G2036G5023G84619On 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!"G3767G1565G2250G3798G5607G3391G4521G2532G2374G2808G3699G3101G2258G4863G1223G5401G2453G2064G2424G2532G2476G1519G3319G2532G3004G846G1515G521320After he said this, he showed them his hands and side. The disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord.G2532G2036G5124G2036G1166G846G5495G2532G846G4125G3767G5463G3101G5463G1492G296221Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you."G3767G2036G2424G846G3825G1515G5213G2531G3962G649G3165G2504G3992G2504G520922And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.G2532G2036G5124G1720G2532G3004G846G2983G40G415123If you forgive the sins of anyone, their sins are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."G5100G302G266G863G863G846G5100G302G2902G290224Now Thomas (also known as Didymus ), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.G1161G2381G1520G1537G1427G3004G1324G2258G3756G3326G846G3753G2424G206425So 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."G243G3101G3767G3004G846G3708G2962G1161G2036G846G3362G1492G1722G846G5495G5179G2247G2532G906G3450G1147G1519G5179G2247G2532G906G3450G5495G1519G846G4125G4100G3364G410026A 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!"G2532G3326G3638G2250G3825G846G3101G2258G2080G2532G2381G3326G846G2064G2424G2374G2808G2532G2476G1519G3319G2532G2036G1515G521327Then 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."G1534G3004G2381G5342G5602G4675G1147G2532G1492G3450G5495G2532G5342G4675G5495G2532G906G1519G3450G4125G2532G1096G3361G571G235G410328Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"G2532G2381G611G2532G2036G846G3450G2962G2532G3450G231629Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed."G2424G3004G846G2381G3754G3708G3165G4100G3107G3361G1492G2532G410030Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not recorded in this book.G2532G4183G243G4592G3303G3767G4160G2424G1799G846G3101G3739G2076G3756G1125G1722G5129G97531But 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.G1161G5023G1125G2443G4100G3754G2424G2076G5547G5207G2316G2532G2443G4100G2192G2222G1722G846G3686
