John 20

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.
