John 20, side by side

¹Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.

¹The 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.

²Therefore 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!”

²Then 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.

³Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.

³Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

⁴They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter, and came to the tomb first.

⁴So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

⁵Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he didn’t enter in.

⁵And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

⁶Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,

⁶Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

⁷and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.

⁷And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

⁸So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.

⁸Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

⁹For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

⁹For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

¹⁰So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

¹⁰Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

¹¹But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

¹¹But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

¹²and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹²And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹³They 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.”

¹³And 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.

¹⁴When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.

¹⁴And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

¹⁵Jesus 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.”

¹⁵Jesus 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.

¹⁶Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”

¹⁶Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

¹⁷Jesus 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.’ ”

¹⁷Jesus 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.

¹⁸Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.

¹⁸Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the LORD, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

¹⁹When 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.”

¹⁹Then 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.

²⁰When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.

²⁰And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the LORD.

²¹Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”

²¹Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

²²When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!

²²And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

²³If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”

²³Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

²⁴But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.

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

²⁵The 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.”

²⁵The 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.

²⁶After 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.”

²⁶And 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.

²⁷Then 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.”

²⁷Then 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.

²⁸Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”

²⁸And Thomas answered and said unto him, My LORD and my God.

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

²⁹Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

³⁰Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;

³⁰And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

³¹but 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.

³¹But 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.
