John 20–21

The ^afirst day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth ^bthe stone taken away from the sepulchre. ²Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, ^cwhom 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. ^3dPeter 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 ^estooping down, and looking in, saw ^fthe linen clothes lying; yet went he not in. ⁶Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth ^fthe linen clothes lie, ⁷and ^gthe napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place ^hby itself. ⁸Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed. ⁹For as yet they ⁱknew not the ^kscripture, that he must rise again from the dead. ¹⁰Then the disciples went away again ^lunto their own home.

¹¹But ^mMary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she ^estooped down, and looked into the sepulchre, ¹²and seeth ⁿtwo 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 ^osaw Jesus standing, and ^pknew not that it was Jesus. ¹⁵Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? ^qwhom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have ^rborne 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, ^sRabboni; which is to say, Master. ¹⁷Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ^tascended to my Father: but go to ^umy brethren, and say unto them, I ascend ^xunto my Father, and your Father; and to ^ymy God, and your God. ^18zMary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

^19aThen the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, ^bwhen the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled ^cfor fear of the Jews, came Jesus and ^dstood in the midst, and saith unto them, ^ePeace be unto you. ²⁰And when he had so said, ^fhe shewed unto them his hands and his side. ^gThen were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord. ²¹Then said Jesus to them again, ^ePeace be unto you: ^has ⁱmy Father hath sent me, even so send I you. ²²And when he had said this, ^khe breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: ^23lwhose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, ^mcalled 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 ⁿin 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 ^ocame Jesus, ^pthe doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, ^ePeace be unto you. ²⁷Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and ^qthrust 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: ^rsblessed are they that have not seen, and yet have ^sbelieved.

^30tAnd many other ^usigns truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book: ^31wbut these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, ^xthe Son of God; and that believing ^yye might have life ^zthrough his name.

XXI.After these things Jesus ^ashewed himself again to the disciples ^bat the sea of Tiberias; and on this wise shewed he himself. ²There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas ^ccalled Didymus, and ^dNathanael of ^eCana in Galilee, and ^fthe sons of Zebedee, and two other of his disciples. ³Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and ^tentered into a ship immediately; and ^gthat night they caught nothing. ⁴But when the morning was now come, ^hJesus stood on the shore: but the disciples ⁱknew not that it was Jesus. ⁵Then Jesus saith unto them, ^kChildren, have ye any meat? ^lThey answered him, No. ⁶And ^mhe said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes. ⁷Therefore that disciple ⁿwhom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he ^ogirt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was ^pnaked,) and did cast himself into the sea. ⁸And the other disciples came in ^qa little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes. ⁹As soon then as they were come to land, they saw ^ra fire of coals there, and ^sfish laid thereon, and bread. ¹⁰Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the ^sfish which ye have now caught. ¹¹Simon Peter ^twent up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. ¹²Jesus saith unto them, ^uCome and ^xdine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord. ^13uJesus then cometh, and ^ytaketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise. ¹⁴This is now ^zthe third time that Jesus shewed himself ^zto his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

¹⁵So when they had ^xdined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, ^aSimon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me ^bmore than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs. ¹⁶He saith to him again the second time, ^aSimon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, ^cFeed my sheep. ¹⁷He saith unto him the third time, ^aSimon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him ^dthe third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, ^ethou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep. ^18fVerily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou ^ggirdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. ^19hThis spake he, signifying ⁱby what death he should ^hglorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, ^kFollow me. ²⁰Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple ^lwhom Jesus loved following; ^mwhich also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth thee? ²¹Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? ²²Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he ⁿtarry ^otill I come, what is that to thee? ^kfollow thou me. ²³Then went this saying abroad among ^pthe brethren, that that disciple should not die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?

²⁴This is the disciple which testifieth of these things, and wrote these things: and ^qwe know ^rthat his testimony is true. ^25sAnd there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that ^teven the world itself could not ^ucontain the books that should be written. Amen.
