1 ¶ Early on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene came to the tomb, while it was yet dark, and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance to the sepulchre.

2 So she ran to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said, They have removed the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.

3 Therefore Peter, and that other disciple, left and went to the tomb.

4 Both were running: but the other disciple outran Peter, and reached the tomb first.

5 Stooping down, he looked in, and saw the linen clothes lying there; yet he did not go in.

6 Following him, Simon Peter came, and went into the sepulchre, and saw the linen wrappings lying there,

7 But the cloth, that had been around his head, was not lying with the linen wrappings, but was folded up in a place by itself.

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

9 For they did not yet know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

10 Then the disciples went back to their own home.

11 ¶ But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

12 And saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head, and the other at the foot.

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

14 And after saying this, she turned around, and saw Jesus standing there, but did not realize that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? who are you looking for? She, assuming that he was the gardener, replied, Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away.

16 Jesus said to her, Mary. She turned, and said to him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17 Jesus then said, do not cling to me; for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I am ascending to my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.

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

19 ¶ At evening on that same day, which was the first day of the week, after the doors to the place where the disciples had gathered were locked, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them, and said to them, Peace be with you.

20 And after saying that, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were overjoyed, when they saw the Lord.

21 Again Jesus said, Peace be with you: as my Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.

22 And after he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Ghost:

23 If you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven; and if you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained.

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

25 The other disciples therefore told him, We have seen the Lord. But he said, Unless I 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.

26 ¶ A week later his disciples were again inside, and the doors were locked, and Thomas was with them: then Jesus came, and stood among them, and said, Peace be with you.

27 Then he said to Thomas, Bring your finger here, and examine my hands; and stretch out your hand, and thrust it into my side: and do not be faithless, but believing.

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

29 Jesus then said, Thomas, because you have seen me, you have believed: blessed are those who have not seen, and yet have believed.

30 And Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, that are not written in this book:

31 But these are written, that you might believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God; and that believing you might have life through his name.
