John 20

The Lamb of God is Resurrected
1Early in the morning on the first day of the week, while it is still dark, Miriam from Magdala comes to the tomb. She sees that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb.
2So she comes running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one Yeshua loved. She tells them, “They’ve taken the Master out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they’ve put Him!”
3Then Peter and the other disciple set out, going to the tomb.
4The two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and arrived at the tomb first.
5Leaning in, he sees the linen strips lying there. But he didn’t go in.
6Then Simon Peter comes following him, and he entered the tomb. He looks upon the linen strips lying there,
7and the face cloth that had been on His head. It was not lying with the linen strips, but was rolled up in a place by itself.
8So then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also entered. He saw and believed.
9For they did not yet understand from Scripture that Yeshua must rise from the dead.
10So the disciples went back to their own homes.
Yeshua Appears to Miriam
11But Miriam stood outside the tomb weeping. As she was weeping, she bent down to look into the tomb.
12She sees two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where Yeshua’s body had been lying.
13“Woman, why are you crying?” they say to her. She says to them, “Because they took away my Master, and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.”
14After she said these things, she turned around. And she sees Yeshua standing there. Yet she didn’t know that it was Yeshua.
15Yeshua says to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” Thinking He’s the gardener, she says to Him, “Sir, if You’ve carried Him away, tell me where You’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.”
16Yeshua says to her, “Miriam!” Turning around, she says to Him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).
17Yeshua says to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet gone up to the Father. Go to My brothers and tell them, ‘I am going up to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”
18Miriam from Magdala comes, announcing to the disciples, “I’ve seen the Lord,” and what He had said to her.
Yeshua Appears to the Disciples
19It was evening on that day, the first of the week. When the doors were locked where the disciples were, for fear of the Judean leaders, Yeshua came and stood in their midst! And He said to them, “Shalom aleichem!”
20After He said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21Yeshua said to them again, “Shalom aleichem! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
22And after He said this, He breathed on them. And He said to them, “Receive the Ruach ha-Kodesh!
23If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; but if you hold back, they are held back.”
24One of the Twelve, Thomas called the Twin, was not with them when Yeshua came.
25The other disciples were saying to him, “We’ve seen the Lord!” But he replied to them, “Unless I see the nail prints in His hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand in His side, I will never believe!”
26Eight days later the disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Yeshua comes, despite the locked doors. He stood in their midst and said, “Shalom aleichem!”
27Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at My hands. Reach out your hand and put it into My side. Stop doubting and believe!”
28Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29Yeshua said to Him, “Because you have seen Me, you have believed? Blessed are the ones who have not seen and yet have believed!”
The Reason for Signs and Wonders
30Yeshua performed many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book.
31But these things have been written so that you may believe that Yeshua is Mashiach Ben-Elohim, and that by believing you may have life in His name.

The Empty Tomb
1Now on the #Matt. 28:1–8; Mark 16:1–8; Luke 24:1–10; Acts 20:7; 1 Cor. 16:2first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the #Matt. 27:60, 66; 28:2; Mark 15:46; 16:4; Luke 24:2; John 11:38stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2Then she ran and came to Simon Peter, and to the #John 21:23, 24other disciple, #John 13:23; 19:26; 21:7, 20, 24whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.”
3#Luke 24:12Peter therefore went out, and the other disciple, and were going to the tomb. 4So they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. 5And he, stooping down and looking in, saw #John 19:40the linen cloths lying there; yet he did not go in. 6Then Simon Peter came, following him, and went into the tomb; and he saw the linen cloths lying there, 7and #John 11:44the handkerchief that had been around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded together in a place by itself. 8Then the #John 21:23, 24other disciple, who came to the tomb first, went in also; and he saw and believed. 9For as yet they did not know the #Ps. 16:10; Acts 2:25, 31; 13:34, 35Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. 10Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.
Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord
11#Mark 16:5But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. 12And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”
She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”
14#Matt. 28:9; Mark 16:9Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and #(Luke 24:16, 31); John 21:4did not know that it was Jesus. 15Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”
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.”
16Jesus said to her, #John 10:3“Mary!”
She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).
17Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet #Mark 16:19; Luke 24:5; Acts 1:9; 2:34–36; Eph. 4:8–10; Heb. 4:14ascended to My Father; but go to #Ps. 22:22; Matt. 18:10; Rom. 8:29; Heb. 2:11My brethren and say to them, #John 16:28; 17:11‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to #Eph. 1:17My God and your God.’ ”
18#Matt. 28:10; Luke 24:10, 23Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.
The Apostles Commissioned
19#Mark 16:14; Luke 24:36; John 14:27; 1 Cor. 15:5Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled, for #John 9:22; 19:38fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, #John 14:27; 16:33; Eph. 2:17“Peace be with you.” 20When He had said this, He #Acts 1:3showed them His hands and His side. #John 16:20, 22Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
21So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! #(Matt. 28:18–20); John 17:18, 19; (2 Tim. 2:2); Heb. 3:1As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23#Matt. 16:19; 18:18If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
Seeing and Believing
24Now Thomas, #John 11:16called the Twin, one of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. 25The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord.”
So he said to them, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into His side, I will not believe.”
26And after eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, “Peace to you!” 27Then He said to Thomas, “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and #Ps. 22:16; Zech. 12:10; 13:6; 1 John 1:1reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be #Mark 16:14unbelieving, but believing.”
28And Thomas answered and said to Him, “My Lord and my God!”
29Jesus said to him, “Thomas, because you have seen Me, you have believed. #2 Cor. 5:7; 1 Pet. 1:8Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”
That You May Believe
30And #John 21:25truly Jesus did many other signs in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book; 31#Luke 1:4but these are written that #John 19:35; 1 John 5:13you may believe that Jesus #Luke 2:11; 1 John 5:1is the Christ, the Son of God, #John 3:15, 16; 5:24; (1 Pet. 1:8, 9)and that believing you may have life in His name.
