1 ^20:1AND on the first day of the week, Mary the Magdalene came in the morning, while it was yet dark, to the tomb and saw the stone taken away from the tomb. ^20:2Then 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 from the tomb, and we know not where they have laid him. ^20:3Then went Peter and the other disciple, and came to the tomb. ^20:4And the two ran together; and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the tomb, ^20:5and stooping down saw the bandages lying, but he went not in. ^20:6Then Simon Peter came following him, and went into the tomb, and beheld the bandages lying, ^20:7and the napkin which was on his head not lying with the bandages but folded up in a place by itself. ^20:8Then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and saw and believed; ^20:9for they did not yet know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. ^20:10Then the disciples went away by themselves.

2 ^20:11But Mary stood at the tomb outside, weeping. Then as she wept she stooped down to the tomb, ^20:12and saw two angels in white sitting one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. ^20:13And they said to her, Woman, why do you weep? She said to them, Because they have taken my Lord and I know not where they have laid him. ^20:14Having said these words she turned around and beheld Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. ^20:15Jesus said to her, Woman, why do you weep? whom do you seek? She, supposing that he was the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have borne him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him. ^20:16Jesus said to her, Mary. She, turning around, said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which is interpreted, Teacher. ^20:17Jesus said to her, Do not touch me; for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. ^20:18Mary the Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he said these things to her.

3 ^20:19Then when it was evening, on that first day of the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, Peace be to you. ^20:20And having said this he showed them both his hands and his side; then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord. ^20:21Then he said to them again, Peace be to you; as the Father has sent me, I also send you. ^20:22And having said this he breathed on them, and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit. ^20:23Those whose sins you forgive, are forgiven; and whose you retain, are retained.

4 ^20:24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus came. ^20:25Then the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord; but he said to them, Unless I see in his hands the impression of the nails, and put my finger in the impression of the nails, and put my hand in his side, I will not believe. ^20:26And after eight days his disciples were again within, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be to you. ^20:27Then he said to Thomas, Reach here your finger and behold my hands, and reach your hand and put it in my side, and be not faithless but believing. ^20:28Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God. ^20:29Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and believed.

5 ^20:30Jesus performed also many other miracles in the presence of his disciples which are not recorded in this book; ^20:31but these are recorded that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

6 ^21:1After these things he showed himself again to the disciples at the lake of Tiberias; and he showed himself thus. ^21:2Simon Peter, and Thomas called the Twin, and Nathaniel who was from Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were together. ^21:3Simon Peter said to them, I am going a fishing. They said to him, We will also go with you. They went out and entered into the ship; and on that night caught nothing, ^21:4but when it was now morning Jesus stood on the shore; but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. ^21:5Then Jesus said to them, Children, have you any thing to eat? They answered him, No. ^21:6And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship and you shall find. Then they cast it, and they were not able to draw it from the number of fishes. ^21:7Then that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, It is the Lord. Then Simon Peter, hearing that it was the Lord, girded on his coat, for he was naked, and cast himself into the lake. ^21:8But the other disciples came with the boat, drawing the net of fishes, for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits distant. ^21:9Then when they came to land they saw coals placed, and a fish laid upon [them], and bread. ^21:10Jesus said to them, Bring of the fish that you have now caught. ^21:11Simon Peter went and drew the net to the land, full of great fishes a hundred and fifty-three; and though there were so many the net was not broken. ^21:12Jesus said to them, Come and breakfast. No one of the disciples dared to ask him, Who are you? for they knew that he was the Lord. ^21:13Jesus came and took the bread and gave them, and the fish likewise. ^21:14This was now the third time that Jesus appeared to his disciples after he had arisen from the dead.

7 ^21:15When therefore they had breakfasted, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, do you love me more than these? He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I am a friend to you. He said to him, Feed my lambs. ^21:16Again he said to him a second time; Simon, son of John, do you love me? He said to him, Yes, Lord, you know that I am a friend to you. He said to him, Feed my sheep. ^21:17He said to him a third time; Simon, son of John, are you a friend to me? Peter was grieved that he said to him the third time, Are you a friend to me? and he said to him, Lord you know all things; you know that I am a friend to you. Jesus said to him, Feed my sheep. ^21:18I tell you most truly, that when you were young you girded yourself and walked where you would; but when you become old, you shall stretch out your hands and another shall bind you and carry you where you would not; ^21:19but he said this signifying by what death he should glorify God; and having said this, he said to him, Follow me.

8 ^21:20And Peter turning around saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also reclined at the supper on his breast and said, Lord, who is it that is to betray you? ^21:21Peter seeing him said to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man [do]? ^21:22Jesus said to him, If I wish him to continue till I come, what is that to you? follow me. ^21:23The report then went out among the brothers that this disciple would not die; but Jesus said not to him, He shall not die; but, If I wish him to continue till I come, what is that to you?

9 ^21:24This is the disciple who testifies of these things and has written them; and we know that his testimony is true. ^21:25And there are many other things which Jesus did, which, if they should be written particularly, I do not suppose the world itself could contain the books written.
