John
Chapter 20
20:1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene comes in the morning, while it was still dark, to the tomb and sees the stone lifted away from the tomb.
20:2 Therefore she runs and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved*, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord from the tomb and we do not know where they have laid him.
20:3 Therefore Peter went forth, and the other disciple, and they went toward the tomb.
20:4 And they both ran in unison and the other disciple ran ahead of Peter and came first to the tomb;
20:5 and stooping down and looking in, he sees the linen-strips laying; nevertheless he did not enter in.
20:6 Then* Simon Peter comes, following him and entered into the tomb, and he views the linen-strips laying,
20:7 and the handkerchief that was upon his head, was not laying with the linen-strips, but was entwined in a separate place.
20:8 Therefore, the other disciple also entered in then, who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed.
20:9 (For* they did not yet know the Scripture, that it is essential for him to rise* up from the dead.)
20:10 So the disciples went away again to their home.
{Mk 16:9-11 & Mt 28:9-10 & Lk 24:9-11 & Jn 20:11-18.}
20:11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. Therefore, as she wept, she peered into the tomb;
20:12 and she views two messengers in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had laid.
20:13 And they say to her, Woman, why do you weep?
She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord and I do not know where they have laid him.
20:14 And when she had said these things, she turned herself back and views Jesus standing and did not know that it was Jesus.
20:15 Jesus says to her, Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?
She, thinking that it is the gardener, says to him, Lord, if you bore him away from here, tell me where you have laid him and I will take him away.
20:16 Jesus says to her, Mary .
She having turned around, says to him, Rabboni; which is to say, Teacher.
20:17 Jesus says to her, Do not be touching me; for* I have not yet ascended to the Father, but go-onward to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your* Father and my God and your* God.
20:18 Mary Magdalene comes, reporting to the disciples, that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
{Mk 16:14 & Lk 24:36-43 & Jn 20:19-25 Sunday Evening.}
20:19 Therefore, when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were gathered because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle, and says to them, Peace to you*.
20:20 And when he had said this, he showed to them his hands and his ribs. Therefore the disciples rejoiced, when they saw the Lord.
20:21 Then* Jesus said to them again, Peace to you*; as the Father has sent me; I am also sending you*.
20:22 And when he had said this, he exhales on them and says to them, Receive the Holy Spirit.
20:23 If you* forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven to them by God; if you* hold-fast anyone's sins, those sins have been held.
20:24 But Thomas, one out of the twelve, called{F} Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
20:25 Therefore, the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord.
But he said to them, If I do not see the pattern of the nails in his hands and may put my finger into the pattern of the nails and may put my hand into his ribs, I will never* believe.
{Jn 20:26-31 & 1Cor: 15:5 Sunday after resurrection.}
20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were inside and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being locked and stood in the middle and said, Peace to you*.
20:27 Thereafter he says to Thomas, Bring your finger here and behold my hands, and bring your hand here and put it into my ribs and do not become unbelieving, but believing.
20:28 And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God!
20:29 Jesus says to him, Because you have seen me, you have believed , but those who have not seen and yet have believed are fortunate.
20:30 Therefore, Jesus indeed did many other signs also before his disciples, which are not written in this book;
20:31 but these are written, that* you* may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that* believing you* may have life in his name.
