John 20

2 Marie Magdalene cometh to the sepulchre. 3 So do Peter and John 12 The two Angels appear, 17 Christ appeareth to Marie Magdalene. 19 And to all his disciples 27 The incredulity and confession of Thomas.
1.Now *the first day of the week came Marie Magdalene, early when it was yet adark, unto the sepulchre, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.
2.Then she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
3.Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they came unto the sepulchre.
4.So they ran both together, but the other disciple did out run Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
5.And he stooped down, and saw the linen clothes lying: yet went he not in.
6.Then came Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and saw the linen clothes lie,
7.And the ^kerchief that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by it self.
8.Then went in also the bother disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw it, cand believed.
9.For as yet they knewe not the Scripture, That he must rise again from the dead.
10.And the disciples went away again unto their ^own home.
11.*But Marie stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she bowed her self into the sepulchre,
12.And saw two Angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13.And they said unto her, Woman, why wepest thou? She said unto them, They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14.When she had thus said, she turned her self back and saw Jesus standing, and knewe not that it was Jesus.
15.Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why wepest thou? whom sekest thou? She supposing that he had been the gardener, said unto him, Syr, if thou hast born him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16.Jesus saith unto her, Marie. She turned her self, and said unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.
17.Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not: for I am not yet dascended to my Father, but go to my ebrethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and to you Father, and to my God, and to your fGod.
18.Marie Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.
19.*The same day then at night, which was the first day of the week, and when the gdoors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the middes, and said to them, hPeace be unto you.
20.And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands, and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they had seen the Lord.
21.Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father sent me, so send I you.
22.And when he had said that, he ibreathed on them, and said unto them, Receive the holie Ghost.
23.*Whosoever’s sins ye remit, they are remitted unto t hem: and whosoever’s 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 unto him, We have seen the Lord: but he said unto them, Except I see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the ^print of the nails, and put mine hand into his side, I will not believe it.
26.¶ And eight days after again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Then came Jesus, when the doors were shut, and stood in the middes, and said, Peace be unto you.
27.After, said he to Thomas, Put thy finger here, and see mine hands, and put forth thine hand, and put it into my side, and be not faithless, but faithful.
28.Then Thomas answered, and said unto him, Thou art my Lord, and my God.
29.Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou believest: blessed are they that have knot seen, and have believed.
30.*And many other signs also did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
31.But these things are written, that ye might believe, that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God, and that in believing ye might have life through his Name.
