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!"*20:16 Rabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for "great teacher." which is to say, "Teacher!"*20:16 or, Master

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,*20:24 or, Twin 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,*20:29 TR adds "Thomas," 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 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.
