1 Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

1 τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων μαρία ἡ μαγδαληνὴ ἔρχεται πρωῒ σκοτίας ἔτι οὔσης εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ βλέπει τὸν λίθον ἠρμένον ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου.

2 Then she went running to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple who was loved by Jesus, and said to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the place of the dead and we have no knowledge where they have put him.

2 τρέχει οὗν καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς σίμωνα πέτρον καὶ πρὸς τὸν ἄλλον μαθητὴν ὃν ἐφίλει ὁ ἰησοῦς, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, ἦραν τὸν κύριον ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου, καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν ποῦ ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.

3 So Peter and the other disciple went out to the place of the dead.

3 ἐξῆλθεν οὗν ὁ πέτρος καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητής, καὶ ἤρχοντο εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον.

4 They went running together, and the other disciple got in front of Peter and came first to the hole in the rock;

4 ἔτρεχον δὲ οἱ δύο ὁμοῦ· καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς προέδραμεν τάχιον τοῦ πέτρου καὶ ἦλθεν πρῶτος εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον,

5 And looking in, he saw the linen bands on the earth; but he did not go in,

5 καὶ παρακύψας βλέπει κείμενα τὰ ὀθόνια, οὐ μέντοι εἰσῆλθεν.

6 Then Simon Peter came after him and went into the hole in the rock; and he saw the linen bands on the earth,

6 ἔρχεται οὗν καὶ σίμων πέτρος ἀκολουθῶν αὐτῶ, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον· καὶ θεωρεῖ τὰ ὀθόνια κείμενα,

7 And the cloth, which had been round his head, not with the linen bands but rolled up in a place by itself.

7 καὶ τὸ σουδάριον, ὃ ἦν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, οὐ μετὰ τῶν ὀθονίων κείμενον ἀλλὰ χωρὶς ἐντετυλιγμένον εἰς ἕνα τόπον.

8 Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him.

8 τότε οὗν εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς ὁ ἐλθὼν πρῶτος εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἐπίστευσεν·

9 For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

9 οὐδέπω γὰρ ᾔδεισαν τὴν γραφὴν ὅτι δεῖ αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῆναι.

10 So then the disciples went away again to their houses.

10 ἀπῆλθον οὗν πάλιν πρὸς αὐτοὺς οἱ μαθηταί.

11 But Mary was still there outside the hole in the rock, weeping; and while she was weeping and looking into the hole,

11 μαρία δὲ εἱστήκει πρὸς τῶ μνημείῳ ἔξω κλαίουσα. ὡς οὗν ἔκλαιεν παρέκυψεν εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον,

12 She saw two angels in white seated where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet.

12 καὶ θεωρεῖ δύο ἀγγέλους ἐν λευκοῖς καθεζομένους, ἕνα πρὸς τῇ κεφαλῇ καὶ ἕνα πρὸς τοῖς ποσίν, ὅπου ἔκειτο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ ἰησοῦ.

13 They said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I have no knowledge where they have put him.

13 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῇ ἐκεῖνοι, γύναι, τί κλαίεις; λέγει αὐτοῖς ὅτι ἦραν τὸν κύριόν μου, καὶ οὐκ οἶδα ποῦ ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.

14 And then looking round, she saw Jesus there, but had no idea that it was Jesus.

14 ταῦτα εἰποῦσα ἐστράφη εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, καὶ θεωρεῖ τὸν ἰησοῦν ἑστῶτα, καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ὅτι ἰησοῦς ἐστιν.

15 Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? who are you looking for? She, taking him for the gardener, said to him, Sir, if you have taken him away from here, say where you have put him and I will take him away.

15 λέγει αὐτῇ ἰησοῦς, γύναι, τί κλαίεις; τίνα ζητεῖς; ἐκείνη δοκοῦσα ὅτι ὁ κηπουρός ἐστιν λέγει αὐτῶ, κύριε, εἰ σὺ ἐβάστασας αὐτόν, εἰπέ μοι ποῦ ἔθηκας αὐτόν, κἀγὼ αὐτὸν ἀρῶ.

16 Jesus said to her, Mary! Turning, she said to him in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which is to say, Master).

16 λέγει αὐτῇ ἰησοῦς, μαριάμ. στραφεῖσα ἐκείνη λέγει αὐτῶ ἑβραϊστί, ραββουνι ὃ λέγεται διδάσκαλε.

17 Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

17 λέγει αὐτῇ ἰησοῦς, μή μου ἅπτου, οὔπω γὰρ ἀναβέβηκα πρὸς τὸν πατέρα· πορεύου δὲ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου καὶ εἰπὲ αὐτοῖς, ἀναβαίνω πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ πατέρα ὑμῶν καὶ θεόν μου καὶ θεὸν ὑμῶν.

18 Mary Magdalene went with the news to the disciples, and said she had seen the Lord and that he had said these things to her.

18 ἔρχεται μαριὰμ ἡ μαγδαληνὴ ἀγγέλλουσα τοῖς μαθηταῖς ὅτι ἑώρακα τὸν κύριον, καὶ ταῦτα εἶπεν αὐτῇ.

19 At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

19 οὔσης οὗν ὀψίας τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τῇ μιᾷ σαββάτων, καὶ τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων ὅπου ἦσαν οἱ μαθηταὶ διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν ἰουδαίων, ἦλθεν ὁ ἰησοῦς καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ μέσον καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, εἰρήνη ὑμῖν.

20 And when he had said this, he let them see his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.

20 καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἔδειξεν τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῖς. ἐχάρησαν οὗν οἱ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες τὸν κύριον.

21 And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

21 εἶπεν οὗν αὐτοῖς [ὁ ἰησοῦς] πάλιν, εἰρήνη ὑμῖν· καθὼς ἀπέσταλκέν με ὁ πατήρ, κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς.

22 And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you:

22 καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐνεφύσησεν καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς, λάβετε πνεῦμα ἅγιον·

23 Any to whom you give forgiveness, will be made free from their sins; and any from whom you keep back forgiveness, will still be in their sins.

23 ἄν τινων ἀφῆτε τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἀφέωνται αὐτοῖς, ἄν τινων κρατῆτε κεκράτηνται.

24 Now Thomas, one of the twelve, named Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

24 θωμᾶς δὲ εἷς ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ λεγόμενος δίδυμος, οὐκ ἦν μετ᾽ αὐτῶν ὅτε ἦλθεν ἰησοῦς.

25 So the other disciples said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, If I do not see in his hands the print of the nails and put my finger into the print of the nails, and if I do not put my hand into his side, I will never have belief.

25 ἔλεγον οὗν αὐτῶ οἱ ἄλλοι μαθηταί, ἑωράκαμεν τὸν κύριον. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, ἐὰν μὴ ἴδω ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω τὸν δάκτυλόν μου εἰς τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω μου τὴν χεῖρα εἰς τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσω.

26 And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you!

26 καὶ μεθ᾽ ἡμέρας ὀκτὼ πάλιν ἦσαν ἔσω οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ θωμᾶς μετ᾽ αὐτῶν. ἔρχεται ὁ ἰησοῦς τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων, καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ μέσον καὶ εἶπεν, εἰρήνη ὑμῖν.

27 Then he said to Thomas, Put out your finger, and see my hands; and put your hand here into my side: and be no longer in doubt but have belief.

27 εἶτα λέγει τῶ θωμᾷ, φέρε τὸν δάκτυλόν σου ὧδε καὶ ἴδε τὰς χεῖράς μου, καὶ φέρε τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ βάλε εἰς τὴν πλευράν μου, καὶ μὴ γίνου ἄπιστος ἀλλὰ πιστός.

28 And Thomas said in answer, My Lord and my God!

28 ἀπεκρίθη θωμᾶς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῶ, ὁ κύριός μου καὶ ὁ θεός μου.

29 Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

29 λέγει αὐτῶ ὁ ἰησοῦς, ὅτι ἑώρακάς με πεπίστευκας; μακάριοι οἱ μὴ ἰδόντες καὶ πιστεύσαντες.

30 A number of other signs Jesus did before his disciples which are not recorded in this book:

30 πολλὰ μὲν οὗν καὶ ἄλλα σημεῖα ἐποίησεν ὁ ἰησοῦς ἐνώπιον τῶν μαθητῶν [αὐτοῦ], ἃ οὐκ ἔστιν γεγραμμένα ἐν τῶ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ·

31 But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

31 ταῦτα δὲ γέγραπται ἵνα πιστεύ[ς]ητε ὅτι ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἵνα πιστεύοντες ζωὴν ἔχητε ἐν τῶ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.
