1
English · Berean Standard Bible

Early on the first day of the week, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been removed from the entrance.

2
English · Berean Standard Bible

So she came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb,” she said, “and we do not know where they have put Him!”

3
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then Peter and the other disciple set out for the tomb.

4
English · Berean Standard Bible

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

5
English · Berean Standard Bible

He bent down and looked in at the linen cloths lying there, but he did not go in.

6
English · Berean Standard Bible

Simon Peter arrived just after him. He entered the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying there.

7
English · Berean Standard Bible

The cloth that had been around Jesus’ head was rolled up, lying separate from the linen cloths.

8
English · Berean Standard Bible

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

9
English · Berean Standard Bible

For they still did not understand from the Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.

10
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then the disciples returned to their homes.

11
English · Berean Standard Bible

But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent down to look into the tomb,

12
English · Berean Standard Bible

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

13
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Woman, why are you weeping?” they asked. “Because they have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I do not know where they have put Him.”

14
English · Berean Standard Bible

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

15
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Woman, why are you weeping?” Jesus asked. “Whom are you seeking?” Thinking He was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried Him off, tell me where you have put Him, and I will get Him.”

16
English · Berean Standard Bible

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

17
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

18
English · Berean Standard Bible

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.

19
English · Berean Standard Bible

It was the first day of the week, and that very evening, while the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you!” He said to them.

20
English · Berean Standard Bible

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

21
English · Berean Standard Bible

Again Jesus said to them, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent Me, so also I am sending you.”

22
English · Berean Standard Bible

When He had said this, He breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.

23
English · Berean Standard Bible

If you forgive anyone his sins, they are forgiven; if you withhold forgiveness from anyone, it is withheld.”

24
English · Berean Standard Bible

Now Thomas called Didymus, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came.

25
English · Berean Standard Bible

So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he replied, “Unless I see the nail marks in His hands, and put my finger where the nails have been, and put my hand into His side, I will never believe.”

26
English · Berean Standard Bible

Eight days later, His disciples were once again inside with the doors locked, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.”

27
English · Berean Standard Bible

Then Jesus said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe.”

28
English · Berean Standard Bible

Thomas replied, “My Lord and my God!”

29
English · Berean Standard Bible

Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”

30
English · Berean Standard Bible

Jesus performed many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.

31
English · Berean Standard Bible

But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in His name.
