1 En op die eerste dag van die week kom Maria Magdal,na vroeg, terwyl dit nog donker was, by die graf en sien dat die steen van die graf weggeneem was.

2 Sy hardloop toe en kom by Simon Petrus en by die ander dissipel vir wie Jesus liefgehad het, en sê vir hulle: Hulle het die Here uit die graf weggeneem, en ons weet nie waar hulle Hom neergelê het nie.

3 Toe gaan Petrus en die ander dissipel uit en kom by die graf.

4 En die twee het saam gehardloop, en die ander dissipel het vooruit gehardloop, vinniger as Petrus, en eerste by die graf gekom.

5 En terwyl hy neerbuk, sien hy die doeke lê; maar hy het nie ingegaan nie.

6 Toe kom Simon Petrus agter hom aan en gaan in die graf en sien die doeke lê;

7 en die doek wat op sy hoof was, sien hy nie by die doeke lê nie, maar opgerol op een plek afsonderlik.

8 Daarop het ook die ander dissipel wat eerste by die graf gekom het, ingegaan, en hy het gesien en geglo.

9 Want hulle het nog nie die Skrif verstaan dat Hy uit die dode moes opstaan nie.

10 En die dissipels het weer huis toe gegaan.

11 Maar Maria het buitekant by die graf gestaan en ween; en terwyl sy ween, buk sy na die graf toe

12 en sien twee engele daar sit met wit klere aan, een by die hoof en een by die voete waar die liggaam van Jesus gelê het.

13 En hulle sê vir haar: Vrou, waarom ween jy? Sy antwoord hulle: Omdat hulle my Here weggeneem het, en ek weet nie waar hulle Hom neergelê het nie.

14 En toe sy dit gesê het, draai sy haar om agtertoe en sien Jesus staan, en sy het nie geweet dat dit Jesus was nie.

15 Jesus sê vir haar: Vrou, waarom ween jy? Wie soek jy? Sy het gedink dat dit die tuinier was en antwoord hom: Meneer, as u Hom weggedra het, sê vir my waar u Hom neergelê het, en ek sal Hom wegneem.

16 Jesus sê vir haar: Maria! Sy draai haar om en sê vir Hom: Rabboeni! dit beteken Meester.

17 Jesus sê vir haar: Raak My nie aan nie, want Ek het nog nie opgevaar na my Vader nie; maar gaan na my broeders en sê vir hulle: Ek vaar op na my Vader en julle Vader, en my God en julle God.

18 Maria Magdal,na het aan die dissipels gaan vertel dat sy die Here gesien het en dat Hy dit vir haar gesê het.

19 En toe dit aand was op daardie eerste dag van die week en die deure waar die dissipels vergader het uit vrees vir die Jode, gesluit was, het Jesus gekom en in hul midde gestaan en aan hulle gesê: Vrede vir julle!

20 En nadat Hy dit gesê het, wys Hy hulle sy hande en sy sy. En die dissipels was bly toe hulle die Here sien.

21 Jesus sê toe weer vir hulle: Vrede vir julle! Soos die Vader My gestuur het, stuur Ek julle ook.

22 En nadat Hy dit gesê het, blaas Hy op hulle en sê vir hulle: Ontvang die Heilige Gees.

23 As julle die mense hulle sondes vergewe, dan word dit hulle vergewe; as julle die mense hulle sondes hou, dan is dit gehou.

24 En Thomas wat genoem word D¡dimus, een van die twaalf, was nie saam met hulle toe Jesus gekom het nie.

25 Die ander dissipels sê toe vir hom: Ons het die Here gesien! Maar hy het vir hulle gesê: As ek nie in sy hande die merk van die spykers sien en my vinger steek in die merk van die spykers en my hand in sy sy steek nie, sal ek nooit glo nie.

26 En agt dae daarna was sy dissipels weer binne, en Thomas saam met hulle. En Jesus het gekom terwyl die deure gesluit was, en het in hul midde gestaan en gesê: Vrede vir julle!

27 Daarna sê Hy vir Thomas: Bring jou vinger hier, en kyk na my hande; en bring jou hand en steek dit in my sy; en moenie ongelowig wees nie, maar gelowig.

28 En Thomas antwoord en sê vir Hom: My Here en my God!

29 Jesus sê vir hom: Omdat jy My gesien het, Thomas, het jy geglo; salig is die wat nie gesien het nie en tog geglo het.

30 Nog baie ander tekens het Jesus voor sy dissipels gedoen wat in hierdie boek nie beskrywe is nie;

31 maar hierdie is beskrywe, dat julle kan glo dat Jesus die Christus is, die Seun van God; en dat julle deur te glo die lewe kan hê in sy Naam.

1 Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

2 Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

3 So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

4 They went running together, and the other disciple got in front of Peter and came first to the hole in the rock;

5 And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth; but he did not go in,

6 Then Simon Peter came after him and went into the hole in the rock; and he saw the linen bands on the earth,

7 And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

8 Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him.

9 For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

10 So then the disciples went away again to their houses.

11 But Mary was still there outside the hole in the rock, weeping; and while she was weeping and looking into the hole,

12 She saw two angels in white seated where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet.

13 They said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I have no knowledge where they have put him.

14 And then looking round, she saw Jesus there, but had no idea that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? who are you looking for? She, taking him for the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have taken him away from here, say where you have put him and I will take him away.

16 Jesus said to her, Mary! Turning, she said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which is to say, Master).

17 Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

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

19 At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

20 And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

21 And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

22 And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you:

23 Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins; and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins.

24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, named Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.

26 And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you!

27 Then he said to Thomas, Put out your finger, and see my hands; and put your hand here into my side: and be no longer in doubt but have belief.

28 And Thomas said in answer, My Lord and my God!

29 Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

30 A number of other signs Jesus did before his disciples which are not recorded in this book:

31 But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.
