and since the tomb was close at hand,
they laid J esus there.
THE RESURRECTION
20
Early on Sunday morning,*
while it was still dark, Mary Mag
dalene came to the tomb and found that
the stone had been rolled away from the
entrance. 2 She ran and found Simon Pe
ter and the other disciple, the one whom
Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken
the Lord’s body out of the tomb, and we
don’t know where they have put him!”
3 Pe
ter and the other disciple started
out for the tomb. 4 They were both running, but the other disciple outran Peter
and reached the tomb first. 5 He stooped
and looked in and saw the linen wrappings lying there, but he didn’t go in.
6 Then Simon Peter arrived and went inside. He also noticed the linen wrappings
lying there, 7 while the cloth that had
covered Jesus’ head was folded up and
lying apart from the other wrappings.
8 Then the disciple who had reached the
tomb first also went in, and he saw and
believed—9 for until then they still hadn’t
understood the Scriptures that said Jesus
must rise from the dead. 10 Then they
went home.
JESUS APPEARS TO MARY MAGDALENE
Mary was standing outside the tomb
crying, and as she wept, she stooped and
looked in. 12 She saw two white-robed angels, one sitting at the head and the other
at the foot of the place where the body
of J esus had been lying. 13 “Dear woman,
why are you crying?” the angels asked
her.
“Because they have taken away my
Lord,” she replied, “and I don’t know
where they have put him.”
14 She turned to leave and saw someone standing there. It was J esus, but she
didn’t recognize him. 15 “Dear woman,
why are you crying?” Jesus asked her.
“Who are you looking for?”
She thought he was the gardener.
“Sir,” she said, “if you have taken him
away, tell me where you have put him,
and I will go and get him.”
16 “Mary!” Jesus said.
She turned to him and cried out, “Rab
boni!” (which is Hebrew for “Teacher”).

17 “Don’t cling to me,” J
esus said, “for
I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But
go find my brothers and tell them, ‘I am
ascending to my Father and your Father,
to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene found the disciples
and told them, “I have seen the Lord!”
Then she gave them his message.
JESUS APPEARS TO HIS DISCIPLES
19 That Sunday evening* the disciples
were meeting behind locked doors because they were afraid of the Jewish
leaders. Suddenly, Jesus was standing
there among them! “Peace be with you,”
he said. 20 As he spoke, he showed them
the wounds in his hands and his side.
They were filled with joy when they saw
the Lord! 21 Again he said, “Peace be with
you. As the Father has sent me, so I am
sending you.” 22 Then he breathed on
them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are
forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they
are not forgiven.”
JESUS APPEARS TO THOMAS
One of the twelve disciples, Thomas
(nicknamed the Twin),* was not with
the others when Jesus came. 25 They told
him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But he replied, “I won’t believe it unless I see the nail wounds in his hands,
put my fingers into them, and place my
hand into the wound in his side.”
26 Eight days later the disciples were
together again, and this time Thomas
was with them. The doors were locked;
but suddenly, as before,
Jesus was
standing among them. “Peace be with
you,” he said. 27 Then he said to Thomas,
“Put your finger here, and look at my
hands. Put your hand into the wound in
my side. Don’t be faithless any longer.
Believe!”
28 “My Lord and my God!” Thom
as
exclaimed.
29 Then
Jesus told him, “You believe
because you have seen me. Blessed are
those who believe without seeing me.”
