John 20

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.

1Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

1Now on the firstdayof the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, while it was yet dark, unto the tomb, and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.

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.

2Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

2She 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 tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.

3Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

3So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

3Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.

4So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

4They went running together, and the other disciple got in front of Peter and came first to the hole in the rock;

4And they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the tomb;

5And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

5And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth; but he did not go in,

5and stooping and looking in, he seeth the linen cloths lying; yet entered he not in.

6Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

6Then Simon Peter came after him and went into the hole in the rock; and he saw the linen bands on the earth,

6Simon Peter therefore also cometh, following him, and entered into the tomb; and he beholdeth the linen cloths lying,

7And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

7And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

7and the napkin, that was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

8Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

8Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him.

8Then entered in therefore the other disciple also, who came first to the tomb, and he saw, and believed.

9For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

9For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

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.

10So then the disciples went away again to their houses.

10So 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,

11But Mary was still there outside the hole in the rock, weeping; and while she was weeping and looking into the hole,

11But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;

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.

12She saw two angels in white seated where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet.

12and she beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one 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.

13They said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I have no knowledge where they have put him.

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.

14And then looking round, she saw Jesus there, but had no idea that it was Jesus.

14When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth 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.

15Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? who are you looking for? She, taking him for the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have taken him away from here, say where you have put him and I will take him away.

15Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou hast 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.

16Jesus said to her, Mary! Turning, she said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which is to say, Master).

16Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.

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.

17Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

17Jesus saith to her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and 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.

18Mary Magdalene went with the news to the disciples, and said she had seen the Lord and that he had said these things to her.

18Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and that he had said 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.

19At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

19When therefore it was evening, on that day, the firstdayof the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came 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.

20And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

20And when he had said this, he showed unto them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were 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.

21And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

21Jesus therefore said to them again, Peace be unto you: as the 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:

22And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you:

22And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit:

23Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

23Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins; and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins.

23whose soever sins ye forgive, they are forgiven unto them; whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

24Now Thomas, one of the twelve, named Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

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.

25So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.

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 put 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.

26And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you!

26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, 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.

27Then he said to Thomas, Put out your finger, and see my hands; and put your hand here into my side: and be no longer in doubt but have belief.

27Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

28And Thomas said in answer, My Lord and my God!

28Thomas 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.

29Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

29Jesus saith unto him, 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:

30A number of other signs Jesus did before his disciples which are not recorded in this book:

30Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the 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.

31But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

31but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.
