John 20

Whiston^{(i) 1} Now the first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre. ² She runneth therefore 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 sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him. ³ Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre. ⁴ Now they ran both together: and the other disciple out ran Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. ⁵ And [he] stooping down, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. ⁶ Simon Peter therefore came also following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lying, ⁷ And the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in one place by it self. ⁸ Then went in therefore that other disciple who came first to the sepulchre, and he saw and believed not. ⁹ For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. ¹⁰ the disciples therefore went away again unto their own homes. ¹¹ But Mary stood without at the sepulchre, weeping: As therefore she wept, she stooped down unto the sepulchre, ¹² And seeth two angels, 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? whom seekest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him. ¹⁴ When she had thus said, she turned her self back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it is 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 hast taken him away, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away. ¹⁶ Jesus saith unto her, Mary. But She turned her self, and saith unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Lord, Master. ¹⁷ Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not: for I have not yet ascended to the Father: Go therefore to the brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth his disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and declared to them what he had said to her. ¹⁹ The same day therefore at evening, being the first [day] of the week, and when the doors were shut, where the disciples were 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 [his] hands and his side to them. His disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. ²¹ He therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the Father hath sent me, even so send I you. ²² When he said this, he breathed on them and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost. ²³ Whose soever sins, ye shall remit, they are remitted unto them whose soever ye shall 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, that We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, put my hands into his Side, and put my finger into the print of the nails, I will not believe. ²⁶ And after eight days, again the 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 put unto my side; and be not faithless, but believing. ²⁸ Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord, and my God. ²⁹ Jesus saith unto him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed [are] they that have not seen, and have believed. ³⁰ Moreover many other signs 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 Christ is the Son of God, and that believing ye might have eternal life in his name.
