John 20

KING JAMES BIBLE	NEW JERUSALEM
1 The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.	1 It was very early on the first day of the week and stil dark, when Mary of Magdala came to the tomb.She saw that the stone had been moved away from the tomb
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.	2 and came running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved. 'They have takenthe Lord out of the tomb,' she said, 'and we don't know where they have put him.'
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.	3 So Peter set out with the other disciple to go to the tomb.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.	4 They ran together, but the other disciple, running faster than Peter, reached the tomb first;
5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.	5 he bent down and saw the linen cloths lying on the ground, but did not go in.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,	6 Simon Peter, fol owing him, also came up, went into the tomb, saw the linen cloths lying on the ground
7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.	7 and also the cloth that had been over his head; this was not with the linen cloths but rolled up in aplace by itself.
8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.	8 Then the other disciple who had reached the tomb first also went in; he saw and he believed.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.	9 Til this moment they had stil not understood the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.	10 The disciples then went back home.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,	11 But Mary was standing outside near the tomb, weeping. Then, as she wept, she stooped to lookinside,
12 And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.	12 and saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head, the other atthe feet.
13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.	13 They said, 'Woman, why are you weeping?' 'They have taken my Lord away,' she replied, 'and I don'tknow where they have put him.'
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.	14 As she said this she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not realise that itwas Jesus.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.	15 Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?' Supposing him to be thegardener, she said, 'Sir, if you have taken him away, tel me where you have put him, and I will go and removehim.'
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.	16 Jesus said, 'Mary!' She turned round then and said to him in Hebrew, 'Rabbuni!' -- which meansMaster.
17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.	17 Jesus said to her, 'Do not cling to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to thebrothers, and tell them: I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.	18 So Mary of Magdala told the disciples, 'I have seen the Lord,' and that he had said these things toher.
19 Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.	19 In the evening of that same day, the first day of the week, the doors were closed in the room wherethe disciples were, for fear of the Jews. Jesus came and stood among them. He said to them, 'Peace be withyou,'
20 And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.	20 and, after saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy atseeing the Lord,
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.	21 and he said to them again, 'Peace be with you. 'As the Father sent me, so am I sending you.'
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:	22 After saying this he breathed on them and said: Receive the Holy Spirit.
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.	23 If you forgive anyone's sins, they are forgiven; if you retain anyone's sins, they are retained.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.	24 Thomas, cal ed the Twin, who was one of the Twelve, 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 shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.	25 So the other disciples said to him, 'We have seen the Lord,' but he answered, 'Unless I can see theholes that the nails made in his hands and can put my finger into the holes they made, and unless I can put myhand into his side, I refuse to believe.'
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.	26 Eight days later the disciples were in the house again and Thomas was with them. The doors wereclosed, but Jesus came in and stood among them. 'Peace be with you,' he said.
27 Then saith he to Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.	27 Then he spoke to Thomas, 'Put your finger here; look, here are my hands. Give me your hand; put itinto my side. Do not be unbelieving any more but believe.'
28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.	28 Thomas replied, 'My Lord and my God!'
29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.	29 Jesus said to him: You believe because you can see me. Blessed are those who have not seen andyet believe.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:	30 There were many other signs that Jesus worked in the sight of the disciples, but they are notrecorded in this book.
31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.	31 These are recorded so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and thatbelieving this you may have life through his name.
