1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 Therefore 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 out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!"

3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb. 4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first. 5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in. 6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying, 7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself. 8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed. 9 For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead. 10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb, 12 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 They asked her, "Woman, why are you weeping?"

She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him." 14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?"

She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."

16 Jesus said to her, "Mary."

She turned and said to him, "Rabboni!" which is to say, "Teacher!"

17 Jesus said to her, "Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers 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 said these things to her. 19 When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, "Peace be to you."

20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord. 21 Jesus therefore said to them again, "Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." 22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit! 23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained."

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came. 25 The other disciples therefore said to him, "We have seen the Lord!"

But he said to them, "Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe."

26 After eight days, again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, "Peace be to you." 27 Then he said to Thomas, "Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing."

28 Thomas answered him, "My Lord and my God!"

29 Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed."

30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book; 31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

1 No primeiro dia que se seguia ao sábado, Maria Madalena foi ao sepulcro, de manhã cedo, quando ainda estava escuro. Viu a pedra removida do sepulcro.

2 Correu e foi dizer a Simão Pedro e ao outro discípulo a quem Jesus amava: Tiraram o Senhor do sepulcro, e não sabemos onde o puseram!

3 Saiu então Pedro com aquele outro discípulo, e foram ao sepulcro.

4 Corriam juntos, mas aquele outro discípulo correu mais depressa do que Pedro e chegou primeiro ao sepulcro.

5 Inclinou-se e viu ali os panos no chão, mas não entrou.

6 Chegou Simão Pedro que o seguia, entrou no sepulcro e viu os panos postos no chão.

7 Viu também o sudário que estivera sobre a cabeça de Jesus. Não estava, porém, com os panos, mas enrolado num lugar à parte.

8 Então entrou também o discípulo que havia chegado primeiro ao sepulcro. Viu e creu.

9 Em verdade, ainda não haviam entendido a Escritura, segundo a qual Jesus devia ressuscitar dentre os mortos.

10 Os discípulos, então, voltaram para as suas casas.

11 Entretanto, Maria se conservava do lado de fora perto do sepulcro e chorava. Chorando, inclinou-se para olhar dentro do sepulcro.

12 Viu dois anjos vestidos de branco, sentados onde estivera o corpo de Jesus, um à cabeceira e outro aos pés.

13 Eles lhe perguntaram: Mulher, por que choras? Ela respondeu: Porque levaram o meu Senhor, e não sei onde o puseram.

14 Ditas estas palavras, voltou-se para trás e viu Jesus em pé, mas não o reconheceu.

15 Perguntou-lhe Jesus: Mulher, por que choras? Quem procuras? Supondo ela que fosse o jardineiro, respondeu: Senhor, se tu o tiraste, dize-me onde o puseste e eu o irei buscar.

16 Disse-lhe Jesus: Maria! Voltando-se ela, exclamou em hebraico: Rabôni! {que quer dizer Mestre}.

17 Disse-lhe Jesus: Não me retenhas, porque ainda não subi a meu Pai, mas vai a meus irmãos e dize-lhes: Subo para meu Pai e vosso Pai, meu Deus e vosso Deus.

18 Maria Madalena correu para anunciar aos discípulos que ela tinha visto o Senhor e contou o que ele lhe tinha falado.

19 Na tarde do mesmo dia, que era o primeiro da semana, os discípulos tinham fechado as portas do lugar onde se achavam, por medo dos judeus. Jesus veio e pôs-se no meio deles. Disse-lhes ele: A paz esteja convosco!

20 Dito isso, mostrou-lhes as mãos e o lado. Os discípulos alegraram-se ao ver o Senhor.

21 Disse-lhes outra vez: A paz esteja convosco! Como o Pai me enviou, assim também eu vos envio a vós.

22 Depois dessas palavras, soprou sobre eles dizendo-lhes: Recebei o Espírito Santo.

23 Àqueles a quem perdoardes os pecados, ser-lhes-ão perdoados; àqueles a quem os retiverdes, ser-lhes-ão retidos.

24 Tomé, um dos Doze, chamado Dídimo, não estava com eles quando veio Jesus.

25 Os outros discípulos disseram-lhe: Vimos o Senhor. Mas ele replicou-lhes: Se não vir nas suas mãos o sinal dos pregos, e não puser o meu dedo no lugar dos pregos, e não introduzir a minha mão no seu lado, não acreditarei!

26 Oito dias depois, estavam os seus discípulos outra vez no mesmo lugar e Tomé com eles. Estando trancadas as portas, veio Jesus, pôs-se no meio deles e disse: A paz esteja convosco!

27 Depois disse a Tomé: Introduz aqui o teu dedo, e vê as minhas mãos. Põe a tua mão no meu lado. Não sejas incrédulo, mas homem de fé.

28 Respondeu-lhe Tomé: Meu Senhor e meu Deus!

29 Disse-lhe Jesus: Creste, porque me viste. Felizes aqueles que crêem sem ter visto!

30 Fez Jesus, na presença dos seus discípulos, ainda muitos outros milagres que não estão escritos neste livro.

31 Mas estes foram escritos, para que creiais que Jesus é o Cristo, o Filho de Deus, e para que, crendo, tenhais a vida em seu nome.
