1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!"

3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb. 4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. 5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying, 7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. 8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed. 9 For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb, 12 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 They asked her, "Woman, why are you weeping?"

She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him." 14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?"

She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."

16 Jesus said to her, "Mary."

She turned and said to him, "Rabboni!" which is to say, "Teacher!"

17 Jesus said to her, "Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’"

18 Mary Magdalene came and told 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, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, "Peace be to you."

20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit! 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained."

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t 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 print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."

26 After eight days, again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, "Peace be to you." 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing."

28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

29 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."

30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may 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 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.
