1The 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.
2Then 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.
3Peter therefore went forth, and that other
disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
4So they ran both together: and the other
disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the
sepulchre.
5And he stooping down, and
looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet
went he not in.
6Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and
went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes
lie,
7And the napkin, that was about his head, not
lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together
in a place by itself.
8Then went in also that other disciple, which
came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and
believed.
9For as yet they knew not the scripture, that
he must rise again from the dead.
10Then the disciples went away again unto
their own home.
11But Mary stood without at the sepulchre
weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and
looked into the sepulchre,
12And seeth two angels in white sitting, the
one at the head, and the other at the feet, where
the body of Jesus had lain.
13And 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.
14And when she had thus said, she turned
herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not
that it was Jesus.
15Jesus 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.
16Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She
turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which
is to say, Master.
17Jesus 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.
18Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples
that she had seen the Lord, and that he
had spoken these things unto her.
19Then 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.
20And when he had so said, he shewed unto
them his hands
and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when
they saw the Lord.
21Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto
you: as my Father
hath sent me, even so send I you.
22And when he had said this, he breathed on them,
and saith unto them, Receive
ye the Holy Ghost:
23Whose
soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose
soever sins ye
retain, they are retained.
24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called
Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25The 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.
26And 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.
27Then 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.
28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My
Lord and my God.
29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas,
because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed:
blessed are they
that have not seen, and yet have
believed.
30And many other signs truly did Jesus in the
presence of his disciples, which are not written in
this book:
31But 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.
