1 Now early [in the morning], while it was still dark on the first day of the week [i.e., Sunday], Mary from Magdala went to the [cave-like] tomb and saw the stone [had been] removed from [the entrance of] the tomb.
1 (A)Now on the first day of the week (B)Mary Magdalene *came early to the tomb, while it *was still dark, and *saw (C)the stone already taken away from the tomb.
1 The 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.
1 On(A) the first day of the week(B) Mary Magdalene(C) came to the tomb(D) early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone(E) had been removed(a) from the tomb.
1 On the first day of the week, early in the morning and while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and noticed that the stone had been removed from the tomb.
2 So, she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved [i.e., probably the apostle John], and said to them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb and we do not know where they have put Him."
2 So she *ran and *came to Simon Peter and to the other (D)disciple whom Jesus loved, and *said to them, “(E)They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.”
2 Then 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.
2 So she ran to Simon Peter(F) and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,(G) and we don’t know where they have put Him!”
2 So she ran off and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus kept loving. She told them, "They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!"
4 The two of them ran together, but the other disciple outran Peter and arrived at the grave site first.
4 The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
4 The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and got to the tomb first.
4 The two of them were running together, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and came to the tomb first.
5 He stooped down and looked inside [the cave-like tomb] and saw the linen cloths lying there [i.e., these were wrappings used to hold embalming spices against the body], but he did not go in.
5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
5 Bending over to look inside, he noticed the linen cloths lying there, but didn't go in.
6 Then Simon Peter, who had been following him, also arrived and went [straight] into the cave-like tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.
6 And so Simon Peter also *came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he *saw the linen wrappings lying there,
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
6 Then, following him, Simon Peter came also. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.
6 At this point Simon Peter arrived, following him, and went straight into the tomb. He observed that the linen cloths were lying there,
7 Now the cloth that had been around Jesus' head was not lying with the [other] linen cloths, but was rolled up by itself.
7 and (I)the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the (J)linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.
7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
7 The wrapping(I) that had been on His head was not lying with the linen cloths(J) but was folded up in a separate place by itself.
7 and that the handkerchief that had been on Jesus' head was not lying with the linen cloths but was rolled up in a separate place.
8 Finally, the other disciple, who had arrived at the cave-like tomb first, went on into it. And [when] he saw [the grave clothes, but no body], he believed [in Jesus' resurrection].
8 So the other disciple who (K)had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
8 The other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, then entered the tomb, saw, and believed.
8 Then the other disciple, who arrived at the tomb first, went inside, looked, and believed.
11 but Mary [from Magdala] was standing outside of the cave-like tomb crying. While she was [still] crying she stooped down to look in the tomb,
11 (O)But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she (P)stooped and looked into the tomb;
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
11 But(N) Mary stood outside facing the tomb,(O) crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.
11 Meanwhile, Mary stood crying outside the tomb. As she cried, she bent over and looked into the tomb.
12 and there she saw two angels [dressed] in white [clothing] sitting where Jesus' body had lain, one at His head and one at His feet.
12 and she *saw (Q)two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
12 She saw two angels(P) in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where Jesus’ body(Q) had been lying.
12 She saw two angels in white clothes who were sitting down, one at the head and the other at the foot of the place where Jesus' body had been lying.
13 They said to Mary, "[My dear] woman, why are you crying?" She answered, "They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put Him."
13 And they *said to her, “(R)Woman, why are you weeping?” She *said to them, “Because (S)they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”
13 And 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.
13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?”“Because they’ve taken away my Lord,”(R) she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.”
13 They asked her, "Lady, why are you crying?" She told them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don't know where they have put him."
14 After she said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but did not know it was Him.
14 When she had said this, she turned around and *(T)saw Jesus standing there, and (U)did not know that it was Jesus.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.(S)
14 After she had said this, she turned around and noticed Jesus standing there, without realizing that it was Jesus.
15 [Then] Jesus said to her, "[My dear] woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?" Assuming He was the grounds keeper, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away from here, tell me where you laid Him, and I will go and get Him."
15 Jesus *said to her, “(V)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 Jesus 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.
15 “Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”Supposing He was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you’ve removed Him, tell me where you’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.”
15 Jesus asked her, "Dear lady, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she told him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away."
16 [Then] Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned toward Him and replied in the Hebrew language, "Rabboni," which means "Teacher."
16 Jesus *said to her, “Mary!” She turned and *said to Him (W)in (a)Hebrew, “(X)Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher).
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
16 Jesus said, “Mary.”Turning around, she said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!”(b)—which means “Teacher.”(T)
16 Jesus told her, "Mary!" She turned around and told him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means "Teacher").
17 Jesus said to her, "Do not hold on to me, for I have not ascended to the Father yet [Note: Apparently Jesus was discouraging Mary from embracing Him in worship as was done in Matt. 28:9, and thereby causing a delay of when the rest of the disciples would learn of His resurrection], but go to my brothers and tell them [I said] 'I am [about] to ascend to my Father and to your Father, and to my God and your God.'"
17 Jesus *said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to (Y)My brethren and say to them, ‘I (Z)ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’”
17 Jesus 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.
17 “Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended(U) to the Father.(V) But go to My brothers(W) and tell them that I am ascending to My Father(X) and your Father—to My God(Y) and your God.”
17 Jesus told her, "Don't hold on to me, because I haven't yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, "I'm ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'"
18 So, Mary from Magdala went and told the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her. [See Matt. 28:7-10].
18 (AA)Mary Magdalene *came, (AB)announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!”(Z) And she told them what(c) He had said to her.
18 So Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I've seen the Lord!" She also told them what he had told her.
19 So, when it was evening on that day, [which was] the first day of the week [i.e., Sunday] and the doors [of someone's house], where the disciples were gathered, were closed [i.e., probably locked] for fear of the Jewish authorities, Jesus came and stood among them. [Note: Probably Jesus passed through the closed door miraculously]. He said to them, "May there be peace in your hearts."
19 So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for (AC)fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, “(b)(AD)Peace be with you.”
19 Then 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.
19 In the evening of that first day of the week,(AA) the disciples were gathered together with the doors locked because of their fear of the Jews. Then Jesus came, stood among them, and said to them, “Peace to you!”(AB)
19 It was the evening of the first day of the week, and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were locked because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came and stood among them. He told them, "Peace be with you."
20 After saying this, Jesus showed them His hands and His side, so they rejoiced when they saw the Lord [i.e., now convinced that He had indeed risen from the dead].
20 And when He had said this, (AE)He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then (AF)rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
20 Having said this, He showed them His hands and His side.(AC) So the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
20 After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side, and when they saw the Lord, the disciples were overjoyed.
21 Jesus said to them again, "May there be peace in your hearts. Just as the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."
21 So Jesus said to them again, “(AG)Peace be with you; (AH)as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
21 Jesus told them again, "Peace be with you. Just as the Father has sent me, so I am sending you."
22 Upon saying this, Jesus breathed on the disciples and said to them, "[Be willing to] receive the Holy Spirit." [Note: This "breathing" served as a pledge of the Holy Spirit which actually came on these apostles a few weeks later. See Acts 1:5-8; 2:4].
22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them and *said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
22 When he had said this, he breathed on them and told them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Whosever sins you forgive, they will be forgiven [by God]. And whosever sins you do not forgive, they will not be forgiven [by God]." [Note: Actual forgiveness would result only when people responded, by faith, to the Gospel message. See Acts 2:37-38].
23 (AI)If you forgive the sins of any, their sins (c)have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained.”
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”(AH)
23 If you forgive people's sins, they are forgiven. If you retain people's sins, they are retained."
25 So, the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord." But he replied to them, "I will not believe [it] unless I see the scars of the nails in His hands, and put my finger on the nail scars, and put my hand in His side."
25 So the other disciples were saying to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in (AM)His hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side, (AN)I will not believe.”
25 The 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.
25 So the other disciples kept telling him, “We have 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,(AJ) and put my hand into His side,(AK) I will never believe!”(AL)
25 So the other disciples kept telling him, "We've seen the Lord!" But he told them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands, put my finger into them, and put my hand into his side, I'll never believe!"
26 Eight days later [i.e., the following Sunday], Jesus' disciples were inside [the house] again, [but this time] Thomas was with them. The doors were [still] closed when Jesus [suddenly] stood among them [See note on verse 19] and said, "May there be peace in your hearts."
26 (e)After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been (f)shut, and stood in their midst and said, “(AO)Peace be with you.”
26 And 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.
26 After eight days His disciples were indoors again, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them. He said, “Peace to you!”
26 A week later, his disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were shut, Jesus came, stood among them, and said, "Peace be with you."
27 Then He said to Thomas, "Put your finger here [i.e., to touch the nail scars] and look at my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side [i.e., where the spear had pierced Him]. Stop doubting and believe [that it is really I]."
27 Then He *said to Thomas, “(AP)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.”
27 Then 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.
27 Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and observe My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Don’t be an unbeliever, but a believer.”(AM)
27 Then he told Thomas, "Put your finger here, and look at my hands. Take your hand, and put it into my side. Stop doubting, but believe."
29 Jesus said to him, "Have you believed [that I am alive] because you have seen me? Those who have not seen me and yet believe are [even more] blessed."
29 Jesus *said to him, “Because you have seen Me, have you believed? (AQ)Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed.”
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
29 Jesus said, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed.(e) Those who believe without seeing(AN) are blessed.”
29 Jesus told him, "Is it because you've seen me that you have believed? How blessed are those who have never seen me and yet have believed!"
30 Jesus performed many other [miraculous] signs in front of His disciples which are not recorded in this book [i.e., in the Gospel of John].
30 (AR)Therefore many other (g)(AS)signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:
30 Jesus performed many other signs(AO) in the presence of His disciples that are not written(AP) in this book.(AQ)
30 Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of his disciples that are not recorded in this book.
31 But these [signs] are written down so that you will believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that when you believe [this], you will have [never ending] life in His name [i.e., through His person and work].
31 but these have been written (AT)so that you may believe that Jesus is (h)the Christ, (AU)the Son of God; and that (AV)believing you may have life in His name.
31 But 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.
31 But these are written so that you may believe Jesus is the Messiah,(AR) the Son(AS) of God,(f)(AT) and by believing you may have life in His name.(AU)
31 But these have been recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and so that through believing you may have life in his name.
