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 Nädala esimese päeva varahommikul, kui väljas oli veel pime, läks Maarja Magdaleena Jeesuse hauale ja nägi, et kivi on hauasuult kõrvale lükatud. 2 Ta tuli jooksuga Siimon Peetruse ja teise jüngri juurde, keda Jeesus armastas, ning ütles neile: „Nad on Issanda hauast ära viinud ja me ei tea, kuhu nad on ta pannud!"

3 Kiiruga asusid Peetrus ja see teine jünger haua poole teele. 4 Nad jooksid koos, ent see teine jünger jooksis Peetrusest kiiremini ja jõudis haua juurde esimesena. 5 Kummargil sisse vaadates nägi ta surilinu, ent sisse ta ei astunud. 6 Seejärel jõudis kohale ka Siimon Peetrus. Tema läks hauakoopasse sisse ning nägi maas lebavaid mähiseid 7 ja higirätikut, mis oli olnud ümber Jeesuse pea; see ei lebanud mähiste juures, vaid oli kokkulapituna oma kohal. 8 Kui nüüd teine jünger, kes oli jõudnud haua juurde esimesena, samuti sisse läks, siis ta nägi ja uskus, 9 sest seni ei olnud nad veel mõistnud Pühakirja ettekuulutust, mille kohaselt Jeesus pidi surnuist üles tõusma.

10 Siis läksid jüngrid tagasi sinna, kus nad peatusid.

11 Maarja aga seisis haua juures väljas ja nuttis. Nuttes kummardus ta vaatama hauakoopasse 12 ja nägi kaht valgeis riideis inglit istumas seal, kus oli lebanud Jeesuse surnukeha, üks peatsis ja teine jalutsis.

13 „Naine, miks sa nutad?" küsisid nad temalt.

„Nad on mu Issanda ära viinud," vastas Maarja, „ja ma ei tea, kuhu nad on ta pannud." 14 Seda öelnud, vaatas ta selja taha ja nägi Jeesust, kes seal seisis, aga ta ei saanud aru, et see oli Jeesus.

15 „Naine, miks sa nutad?" küsis Jeesus temalt. „Keda sa otsid?"

Pidades teda aednikuks, vastas Maarja: „Isand, kui sina ta minema viisid, siis ütle mulle, kuhu sa ta panid, ja ma toon ta ära."

16 „Maarja!" ütles Jeesus talle.

Nüüd pöördus Maarja ringi ja hüüatas heebrea keeles: „Rabbuuni!" (See tähendab Õpetajat.)

17 „Ära puuduta mind!" ütles Jeesus talle. „Sest ma ei ole veel läinud üles oma Isa juurde. Aga mine mu vendade juurde ja ütle neile, et ma lähen üles oma Isa ja teie Isa ning oma Jumala ja teie Jumala juurde!"

18 Maarja Magdaleena läks ja teatas jüngritele: „Ma nägin Issandat!" ja ta rääkis neile, mis Jeesus oli öelnud.

19 Selsamal õhtul, nädala esimesel päeval, olid jüngrid koos lukus uste taga, sest nad kartsid juudi ülemaid. Järsku ilmus sinna Jeesus, jäi seisma nende keskele ja ütles: „Rahu olgu teiega!" 20 Seda öelnud, näitas ta neile oma käsi ja külge. Rõõm täitis jüngreid, kui nad Issandat nägid.

21 Jeesus ütles taas: „Rahu teile! Nagu Isa on läkitanud minu, nii läkitan mina nüüd teid." 22 Seejärel hingas ta nende peale ja ütles: „Võtke vastu Püha Vaim! 23 Kellele iganes te patud andeks annate, neile on need andeks antud. Kelle patte te andeks ei anna, neile ei ole andeks antud."

24 Aga Toomas, üks kaheteistkümnest, hüüdnimega Kaksik, ei olnud teistega, kui Jeesus tuli. 25 Teised jüngrid ütlesid talle: „Me nägime Issandat!"

Tema aga vastas: „Ma ei usu enne, kui näen naelajälgi ta kätes ja panen oma sõrme naelaarmidesse ja oma käe tema küljehaava."

26 Nädal hiljem olid jüngrid jälle koos suletud ruumis ja ka Toomas oli nendega. Kuigi uksed olid lukus, tuli Jeesus, jäi seisma nende keskele ja ütles: „Rahu teile!" 27 Seejärel ütles ta Toomasele: „Siruta oma sõrm siia ja vaata mu käsi! Siruta oma käsi ja pane mu küljehaava! Ära kahtle, vaid usu!"

28 Toomas vastas talle: „Minu Issand ja minu Jumal!"

29 „Sa usud, sest sa oled näinud," ütles Jeesus. „Õnnistatud on need, kes pole näinud, aga siiski usuvad."

30 Jeesus andis jüngrite nähes veel palju muid tunnustähti, mida aga ei ole kirjutatud sellesse raamatusse. 31 Ent need siin on kirjutatud üles, et te usuksite, et Jeesus on Messias, Jumala Poeg, ning et teil uskudes oleks elu temas.
