[John 20]

 

             {Mar 16:1-8 & Mat 28:1-8 & Luk 24:1-8, 12 & Joh 20:1-10 Dawn and very early Sun.}

             ^20:1 Now on the first day of the week Mary the Magdalene comes in the morning, while being still dark, to the tomb and sees the stone has been lifted away from the tomb. ^20:2 Therefore, she runs and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They took away the Lord from the tomb and we do not know where they placed him.

             ^20:3 Therefore, Peter went forth, and the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb. ^20:4 Now the two were running in unison and the other disciple ran quickly ahead of Peter and came to the tomb first; ^20:5 and he peered inside and sees the linen-strips laying; nevertheless he did not enter. ^20:6 Therefore, Simon Peter comes, following him and entered into the tomb, and he views the linen-strips laying, ^20:7 and the handkerchief which was upon his head was not laying with the linen-strips, but separate from them, the handkerchief has been curled up in one place. ^20:8 Therefore, the other disciple also entered in then, who came first to the tomb, and he saw and believed. ^20:9 (For^* they did not yet know the Scripture, that it is essential for him to rise^* up from the dead.) ^20:10 Therefore, the disciples went away again to themselves.

 

             {Mar 16:9-11 & Mat 28:9-10 & Luk 24:9-11 & Joh 20:11-18.}

             ^20:11 But Mary stood outside before the tomb, weeping. Therefore, as she was weeping, she peered into the tomb; ^20:12 and she views two messengers in white sitting, one toward the head and one toward the feet, where the body of Jesus was laying. ^20:13 And those men say to her, Woman, why are you weeping?

             She says to them, They took my Lord and I do not know where they placed him. ^20:14 And she said these things and was turned toward the things behind {i.e., she turned around} and views Jesus standing and did not know that it is Jesus.

             ^20:15 Jesus says to her, Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?

             That woman, thinking that one is the gardener, says to him, Lord, if you bore him away, tell me where you placed him and I will take him.

             ^20:16 Jesus says to her, Mary.

             That woman turned and says to him, Rabboni; which is spoken: Teacher.

             ^20:17 Jesus says to her, Do not touch me; for^* I have not yet ascended to my Father, but travel to my brethren and say to them, I am ascending to my Father and your^° Father and my God and your^° God.

             ^20:18 Mary the Magdalene comes, reporting to the disciples, She has seen the Lord, and that he said these things to her.

 

             {Mar 16:14 & Luk 24:36-43 & Joh 20:19-25 Sun. Evening.}

             ^20:19 Therefore, being evening in that day, the first day of the week, and after the doors has been locked where the disciples were gathered because of fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle, and says to them, Peace to you^°. ^20:20 And he said this and showed to them the hands and his rib-cage. Therefore, the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

               ^20:21 Therefore, Jesus said to them again, Peace to you^°; just-as the Father has sent me; I am also sending you^°. ^20:22 And he said this and breathed into them and says to them, Receive^° the Holy Spirit. ^20:23 If you^° forgive sins of anyone, they are forgiven to them; if you^° hold-fast sins of anyone, those sins have been held-fast. {Mat 16:19, 18:18}

 

             ^20:24 But Thomas, one out-of the twelve, who is called^* Didymus {Twin}, was not with them when Jesus came. ^20:25 Therefore, the other disciples was saying to him, We have seen the Lord.

             But he said to them, If I do not see the pattern of the nails in his hands and may put my finger into the pattern of the nails and may put my hand into his rib-cage, I will never believe.

 

             {Joh 20:26-31 & 1Co 15:5 Sun. after resurrection.}

             ^20:26 And after eight days his disciples were inside again and Thomas with them. Jesus comes, the doors have been locked and stood in the middle and said, Peace to you^°. ^20:27 Thereafter he says to Thomas, Bring your finger here and behold the hands, and bring your hand here and put it into my rib-cage and do not become unbelieving, but become believing.

             ^20:28 And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God!

             ^20:29 Jesus says to him, Because you have seen me, you have believed, but the fortunate ones have not seen and yet have believed.

 

             ^20:30 Therefore, Jesus indeed did^* many other signs also in the sight of his disciples, which are not written in this book; ^20:31 but these have been written in-order-that you^° may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and in-order-that in believing you^° may have life in his name.
