NASB Bible

John 20

The Empty Tomb

1

 aNow on the first day of the week  bMary Magdalene *came early to the tomb, while it *was still dark, and *saw  cthe stone already taken away from the tomb.

2

So she *ran and *came to Simon Peter and to the other  adisciple whom Jesus loved, and *said to them, " bThey have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."

3

 aSo Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb.

4

The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;

5

and  astooping and looking in, he *saw the  blinen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in.

6

And so Simon Peter also *came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he *saw the linen wrappings lying there,

7

and  athe face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the  blinen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself.

8

So the other disciple who  ahad first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.

9

For as yet  athey did not understand the Scripture,  bthat He must rise again from the dead.

10

So the disciples went away again  ato their own homes.

11

 aBut Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she  bstooped and looked into the tomb;

12

and she *saw  atwo angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.

13

And they *said to her, " aWoman, why are you weeping?" She *said to them, "Because  bthey have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."

14

When she had said this, she turned around and * asaw Jesus standing there, and  bdid not know that it was Jesus.

15

Jesus *said to her, aWoman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she *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  ain  1Hebrew, " bRabboni!" (which means, Teacher).

17

Jesus *said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to  aMy brethren and say to them, `I  bascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.' "

18

 aMary Magdalene *came,  bannouncing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.

Jesus among His Disciples

19

So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for  afear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, 1 bPeace be with you."

20

And when He had said this,  aHe showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then  brejoiced when they saw the Lord.

21

So Jesus said to them again, aPeace be with you;  bas the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

22

And when He had said this, He breathed on them and *said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

23

aIf you forgive the sins of any, their sins  1have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained."

24

But  aThomas, one of  bthe twelve, called  1 aDidymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25

So the other disciples were saying to him, "We have seen the Lord!" But he said to them, "Unless I see in  aHis hands the imprint of the nails, and put my finger into the place of the nails, and put my hand into His side,  bI will not believe."

26

 1After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus *came, the doors having been  2shut, and stood in their midst and said, aPeace be with you."

27

Then He *said to Thomas, aReach here with your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand and put it into My side; and do not be unbelieving, but believing."

28

Thomas answered and said to Him, "My Lord and my God!"

29

Jesus *said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed?  aBlessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

Why This Gospel Was Written

30

 aTherefore many other  1 bsigns Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

31

but these have been written  aso that you may believe that Jesus is  1the Christ,  bthe Son of God; and that  cbelieving you may have life in His name.
