Jesus Is Alive
(Matthew 28.1-10Mark 16.1-8Luke 24.1-12)1 On Sunday morning while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance. 2 She ran to Simon Peter and to Jesus' favorite disciple and said, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb! We don't know where they have put him.”
3 Peter and the other disciple started for the tomb. 4 They ran side by side, until the other disciple ran faster than Peter and got there first. 5 He bent over and saw the strips of linen cloth lying inside the tomb, but he did not go in.
6 When Simon Peter got there, he went into the tomb and saw the strips of cloth. 7 He also saw the piece of cloth that had been used to cover Jesus' face. It was rolled up and in a place by itself. 8 The disciple who got there first then went into the tomb, and when he saw it, he believed. 9 At that time Peter and the other disciple did not know that the Scriptures said Jesus would rise to life. 10 So the two of them went back to the other disciples.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
(Mark 16.9-11)11 Mary Magdalene stood crying outside the tomb. She was still weeping, when she stooped down 12 and saw two angels inside. They were dressed in white and were sitting where Jesus' body had been. One was at the head and the other was at the foot. 13 The angels asked Mary, “Why are you crying?”
She answered, “They have taken away my Lord's body! I don't know where they have put him.”
14 As soon as Mary said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not know who he was. 15 Jesus asked her, “Why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”
She thought he was the gardener and said, “Sir, if you have taken his body away, please tell me, so I can go and get him.”
16 Then Jesus said to her, “Mary!”
She turned and said to him, “Rabboni.” The Aramaic word “Rabboni” means “Teacher.”
17 Jesus told her, “Don't hold on to me! I have not yet gone to the Father. But tell my disciples I am going to the one who is my Father and my God, as well as your Father and your God.” 18 Mary Magdalene then went and told the disciples she had seen the Lord. She also told them what he had said to her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
(Matthew 28.16-20Mark 16.14-18Luke 24.36-49)19 The disciples were afraid of the Jewish leaders, and on the evening of that same Sunday they locked themselves in a room. Suddenly, Jesus appeared in the middle of the group. He greeted them 20 and showed them his hands and his side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they became very happy.
21 After Jesus had greeted them again, he said, “I am sending you, just as the Father has sent me.” 22 Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive anyone's sins, they will be forgiven. But if you don't forgive their sins, they will not be forgiven.”
Jesus and Thomas
24 Although Thomas the Twin was one of the twelve disciples, he wasn't with the others when Jesus appeared to them. 25 So they told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
But Thomas said, “First, I must see the nail scars in his hands and touch them with my finger. I must put my hand where the spear went into his side. I won't believe unless I do this!”
26 A week later the disciples were together again. This time, Thomas was with them. Jesus came in while the doors were still locked and stood in the middle of the group. He greeted his disciples 27 and said to Thomas, “Put your finger here and look at my hands! Put your hand into my side. Stop doubting and have faith!”
28 Thomas replied, “You are my Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said, “Thomas, do you have faith because you have seen me? The people who have faith in me without seeing me are the ones who are really blessed!”
Why John Wrote His Book
30 Jesus worked many other miracles for his disciples, and not all of them are written in this book. 31 But these are written so that you will put your faith in Jesus as the Messiah and the Son of God. If you have faith in him, you will have true life.
1 Pirmajā nedēļas dienā agri no rīta, kad vēl bija tumsa, Marija Magdalēna nāk pie kapa un redz akmeni no kapa noveltu. 2 Tad viņa skriešus dodas pie Sīmaņa Pētera un otra mācekļa, ko Jēzus mīlēja, un saka tiem: "Viņi To Kungu no kapa paņēmuši, un mēs nezinām, kur viņi To nolikuši." 3 Tad Pēteris un otrs māceklis devās turp un nāca pie kapa. 4 Bet abi divi skrēja; un otrs māceklis skrēja ātrāk par Pēteri un pirmais nonāca pie kapa. 5 Viņš noliecās un redzēja autus tur noliktus, bet pats neiegāja. 6 Pēc tam, viņam sekodams, nāk arī Sīmanis Pēteris; viņš ieiet kapā un redz autus noliktus 7 un sviedrautu, ar ko Viņa galva bija apsegta, nevis pie pārējiem autiem noliktu, bet atsevišķi satītu savā vietā. 8 Tad arī otrs māceklis iegāja, kas pirmais pie kapa bija nācis, redzēja un ticēja. 9 Jo tie vēl nebija sapratuši rakstus, ka Viņam vajag uzcelties no miroņiem. 10 Pēc tam abi mācekļi atkal aizgāja mājās. 11 Bet Marija stāvēja ārā kapa priekšā un raudāja. Un vēl raudādama viņa ieliecās kapā 12 un redz tur sēžam divus eņģeļus baltās drēbēs, vienu galvgalī un otru kājgalī, tai vietā, kur bija gulējušas Jēzus miesas. 13 Tie saka viņai: "Sieva, ko raudi?" Viņa tiem saka: "Viņi manu Kungu paņēmuši, un es nezinu, kur viņi To likuši." 14 To sacījusi, viņa apgriezās un redz Jēzu stāvam, bet nezina, ka tas ir Jēzus. 15 Jēzus viņai saka: "Sieva, ko tu raudi? Ko tu meklē?" Viņa, domādama, ka tas ir dārznieks, saka Viņam: "Kungs, ja tu Viņu esi aiznesis, tad pasaki man, kur tu Viņu esi licis, lai es Viņu dabūtu!" 16 Jēzus viņai saka: "Marija!" Viņa apgriezās un ebrejiski saka uz Viņu: "Rabuni" (tas ir: mācītājs)! 17 Bet Jēzus viņai saka: "Neaizskar Mani, jo Es vēl neesmu aizgājis pie Tēva; bet ej pie Maniem brāļiem un saki tiem: Es aizeimu pie Sava Tēva un jūsu Tēva, pie Sava Dieva un jūsu Dieva." 18 Tad Marija Magdalēna iet un stāsta mācekļiem: "Es savu Kungu esmu redzējusi, un to Viņš man sacījis." 19 Šinī pašā pirmajā nedēļas dienā, vakarā, kad mācekļi, bīdamies no jūdiem, bija sapulcējušies aiz aizslēgtām durvīm, nāca Jēzus, stājās viņu vidū un saka viņiem: "Miers ar jums!" 20 Un, to sacījis, Viņš tiem rādīja Savas rokas un sānus. Tad mācekļi kļuva līksmi, savu Kungu redzēdami. 21 Tad Jēzus vēlreiz viņiem saka: "Miers ar jums! Kā Tēvs Mani sūtījis, tā Es jūs sūtu." 22 Un, to sacījis, Viņš dvesa un sacīja viņiem: "Ņemiet Svēto Garu! 23 Kam jūs grēkus piedosit, tiem tie būs piedoti, kam jūs tos paturēsit, tiem tie paliks." 24 Bet Toms, viens no divpadsmit, saukts dvīnis, nebija pie viņiem, kad nāca Jēzus. 25 Tad pārējie mācekļi viņam stāstīja: "Mēs To Kungu esam redzējuši." Bet viņš tiem sacīja: "Ja es neredzu naglu zīmes Viņa rokās un savu pirkstu nelieku naglu rētās un savu roku nelieku Viņa sānos, es neticēšu." 26 Un pēc astoņām dienām mācekļi atkal bija kopā un arī Toms pie viņiem. Un durvis bija aizslēgtas. Tad Jēzus nāk un stājas viņu vidū un saka: "Miers ar jums!" 27 Pēc tam Viņš Tomam saka: "Stiep šurp savu pirkstu un aplūko Manas rokas un dod šurp savu roku un liec to Manos sānos, un neesi neticīgs, bet ticīgs!" 28 Toms atbildēja un sacīja Viņam: "Mans Kungs un Mans Dievs!" 29 Jēzus viņam saka: "Tāpēc ka tu Mani redzēji, tu ticēji. Svētīgi tie, kas neredz un tomēr tic!" 30 Vēl daudz citu zīmju Jēzus darīja Savu mācekļu priekšā, kas nav aprakstītas šinī grāmatā. 31 Bet šīs ir rakstītas, lai jūs ticētu, ka Jēzus ir Kristus, Dieva Dēls, un lai jūs, pie ticības nākuši, dzīvību iegūtu Viņa Vārdā.
