1Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.

1On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb.

2So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."

2So she went running to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, "They've taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they've put him!"

3So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb.

3At that, Peter and the other disciple went out, heading for the tomb.

4The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;

4The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.

5and stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.

5Stooping down, he saw the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

6And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there,

6Then, following him, Simon Peter also came. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.

7and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.

7The wrapping that had been on his head was not lying with the linen cloths but was folded up in a separate place by itself.

8So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.

8The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then also went in, saw, and believed.

9For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.

9For they did not yet understand the Scripture that he must rise from the dead.

11But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb;

13And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."

13They said to her, "Woman, why are you crying?" "Because they've taken away my Lord," she told them, "and I don't know where they've put him."

14When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.

14Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know it was Jesus.

15Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."

15"Woman," Jesus said to her, "why are you crying? Who is it that you're seeking?" Supposing he was the gardener, she replied, "Sir, if you've carried him away, tell me where you've put him, and I will take him away."

16Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).

16Jesus said to her, "Mary." Turning around, she said to him in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" --which means "Teacher."

17Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"

17"Don't cling to me," Jesus told her, "since I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

18Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.

19So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, "Peace be with you."

19When it was evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because they feared the Jews. Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be with you."

20And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

20Having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

21So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

25So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe."

25So the other disciples were telling him, "We've seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "If I don't see the mark of the nails in his hands, put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will never believe."

26After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, "Peace be with you."

26A week later his disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you."

27Then He said to Thomas, "Reach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."

27Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here and look at my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Don't be faithless, but believe."

28Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

28Thomas responded to him, "My Lord and my God!"

29Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

29Jesus said, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe."

30Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
