(Luke 24:1‑53)
;
John 20:1‑21:25• 1Now on the first [day] of the week Mary of Magdala cometh early while it was yet dark unto the tomb and seeth the stone taken away from the tomb.
2She runneth therefore and cometh unto Simon Peter and unto the other disciple whom Jesus dearly loved and saith to them, They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we know not where they laid him.
3Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and were coming unto the tomb.
4And the two were running together, and the other disciple ran forward more quickly than Peter, and came first unto the tomb,
5and stooping down seeth the linen clothes as they lay; nevertheless he went not in.
6Simon Peter therefore cometh following him, and entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,
7and the handkerchief which was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes but folded up in a place apart.
8Then entered therefore also the other disciple that came first unto the tomb, and he saw and believed;
9for as yet they knew not the scripture that he must rise from [the] dead.
10The disciples therefore went away again unto their own [home].
11But Mary stood at the tomb without weeping. While then she was weeping, she stooped into the tomb,
12and beholdeth two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where had lain the body of Jesus.
13And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith to them, Because they took away my Lord, and I know not where they laid him.
14Having said thus, she turned back, and beholdeth Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15Jesus saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom dost thou seek? She, thinking that it was the gardener, saith to him, Sir, if thou didst carry him off, tell me where thou laidest him, and I will take him away.
16Jesus saith to her, Mary. She, turning, saith to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which meaneth Teacher.
17Jesus saith to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended unto the Father; but go unto my brethren and say to them, I ascend unto my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.
18Mary of Magdala cometh bringing word to the disciples, I have seen the Lord, and that he said these things to her.
19When it was evening then, on that day which was the first of the week, and the doors were shut where the disciples were by reason of the fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith to them, Peace to you.
20And having said this he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
21He said therefore to them again, Peace to you: according as the Father hath sent me forth, I also send you.
22And having said this he breathed into and saith to them, Receive the Holy Spirit:
23whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whosesoever ye retain, they are retained.
24But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25The other disciples said therefore to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except 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 in nowise believe.
26And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them. Jesus cometh, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace to you.
27Then he saith to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and see my hands, and reach thy hand, and put [it] into my side, and be not unbelieving but believing.
28Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.
29Jesus saith to him, Because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed; blessed are those that saw not and believed.
30Many other signs therefore did Jesus in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;
31but these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye may have life in his name.
1After these things Jesus manifested himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and he manifested [himself] thus.
2There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael from Cana in Galilee, and the [sons] of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples.
3Simon Peter saith to them, I go away to fish. They say to him, We also come with thee. They went forth, and entered into the boat, and that night took nothing.
4But when early morn was now breaking, Jesus stood on the shore: however the disciples did not know that it was Jesus.
5Jesus therefore saith to them, Children, have ye anything to eat? They answered him, No.
6And he said to them, Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye will find. They cast therefore, and were no longer able to draw it from the multitude of the fishes.
7Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith to Peter, It is the Lord. Then Simon Peter, hearing that it was the Lord, girt his over-coat about [him] (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.
8But the other disciples came in the little boat (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits off), dragging the net of the fishes.
9So when they had got off to the land, they see a coal-fire laid, and fish laid thereon, and bread.
10Jesus saith to them, Bring of the fish which ye took just now.
11Simon Peter [therefore] went up and drew the net to land full of great fishes, a hundred [and] fifty-three: and, many as they were, the net was not rent.
12Jesus saith to them, Come, dine. And none of the disciples durst inquire of him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
13Jesus cometh and taketh the bread and giveth to them, and the fish likewise.
14This already [was the] third [time] Jesus was manifested to the disciples after having risen from [the] dead.
15When therefore they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon [son] of Jonah, lovest thou me more than these? He saith to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I dearly love thee. He saith to him, Feed my lambs.
16He saith to him again a second time, Simon [son] of Jonah, lovest thou me? He saith to him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I dearly love thee. He saith to him, Tend my sheep.
17He saith to him the third time, Simon [son] of Jonah, dost thou dearly love me? Peter was grieved because he said to him the third time, Dost thou dearly love me? and he said to him, Lord, thou knowest all things, thou knowest that I dearly love thee. Jesus saith to him, Feed my sheep.
18Verily, verily, I say to thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself and walkedst whither thou wouldest; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.
19And this he said, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And having said this, he saith to him, Follow me.
20Peter turning round seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following (who also at the supper leaned on his breast and said, Lord, who is he that delivereth thee up?);
21Peter therefore seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what [of] this man?
22Jesus saith to him, If I will that he abide till I come, what [is it] unto thee? follow thou me.
23This saying therefore went forth among the brethren that that disciple doth not die; yet Jesus said not to him, that he doth not die; but, If I will that he abide till I come, what [is it] to thee?
24This is the disciple that beareth witness of these things, and wrote these things: and we know that his witness is true.
25And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they were written one by one, I suppose that not even the world itself would contain the books that should be written.
