1 And on the first {day} of the week Mary of Magdala comes in early morn to the tomb, while it was still dark, and sees the stone taken away from the tomb.2 She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, to whom Jesus was attached, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him.3 Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and came to the tomb.4 And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran forward faster than Peter, and came first to the tomb,5 and stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; he did not however go in.6 Simon Peter therefore comes, following him, and entered into the tomb, and sees the linen cloths lying,7 and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a distinct place by itself.8 Then entered in therefore the other disciple also who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed;9 for they had not yet known the scripture, that he must rise from among {the} dead.10 The disciples therefore went away again to their own home.11 But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore she wept, she stooped down into the tomb,12 and beholds two angels sitting in white {garments}, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.13 And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.14 Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing {there}, and knew not that it was Jesus.15 Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.16 Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.17 Jesus says to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and {to} my God and your God.18 Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and {that} he had said these things to her.19 When therefore it was evening on that day, which was the first {day} of the week, and the doors shut where the disciples were, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and says to them, Peace {be} to you.20 And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.21 {Jesus} said therefore again to them, Peace {be} to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.22 And having said this, he breathed into {them}, and says to them, Receive {the} Holy Spirit:23 whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whose soever {sins} ye retain, they are retained.24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.25 The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the mark of the nails, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.26 And eight days after, his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst and said, Peace {be} to you.27 Then he says to Thomas, Bring thy finger here and see my hands; and bring thy hand and put it into my side; and be not unbelieving, but believing.28 Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.29 Jesus says to him, Because thou hast seen me thou hast believed: blessed they who have not seen and have believed.30 Many other signs therefore also Jesus did before his disciples, which are not written in this book;31 but these are written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have life in his name.

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 toe12 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.
