The Empty Tomb
(Matthew 28.1-8Mark 16.1-8Luke 24.1-12)
1 Early on Sunday morning, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb and saw that the stone had been taken away from the entrance. 2 She went running to Simon Peter and the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and told them, “They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we don't know where they have put him!”
3 Then Peter and the other disciple went to the tomb. 4 The two of them were running, but the other disciple ran faster than Peter and reached the tomb first. 5 He bent over and saw the linen cloths, but he did not go in. 6 Behind him came Simon Peter, and he went straight into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying there 7 and the cloth which had been around Jesus' head. It was not lying with the linen cloths but was rolled up by itself. 8 Then the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, also went in; he saw and believed. ( 9 They still did not understand the scripture which said that he must rise from death.) 10 Then the disciples went back home.
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
(Matthew 28.9Matthew 10Mark 16.9-11)
11 Mary stood crying outside the tomb. While she was still crying, she bent over and looked in the tomb 12 and saw two angels there dressed in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and the other at the feet. 13 “Woman, why are you crying?” they asked her.
She answered, “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put him!”
14 Then she turned around and saw Jesus standing there; but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 “Woman, why are you crying?” Jesus asked her. “Who is it that you are looking for?”
She thought he was the gardener, so she said to him, “If you took him away, sir, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.”
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary!”
She turned toward him and said in Hebrew, “Rabboni!” (This means “Teacher.”)
17 “Do not hold on to me,” Jesus told her, “because I have not yet gone back up to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I am returning to him who is my Father and their Father, my God and their God.”
18 So Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and related to them what he had told her.
Jesus Appears to His Disciples
(Matthew 28.16-20Mark 16.14-18Luke 24.36-49)
19 It was late that Sunday evening, and the disciples were gathered together behind locked doors, because they were afraid of the Jewish authorities. Then Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you,” he said. 20 After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Lord. 21 Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, so I send you.” 22 Then he breathed on them and said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 If you forgive people's sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”
Jesus and Thomas
24 One of the twelve disciples, Thomas (called the Twin), was not with them when Jesus came. 25 So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”
Thomas said to them, “Unless I see the scars of the nails in his hands and put my finger on those scars and my hand in his side, I will not believe.”
26 A week later the disciples were together again indoors, and Thomas was with them. The doors were locked, but Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you.” 27 Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at my hands; then reach out your hand and put it in my side. Stop your doubting, and believe!”
28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 Jesus said to him, “Do you believe because you see me? How happy are those who believe without seeing me!”
The Purpose of This Book
30 In his disciples' presence Jesus performed many other miracles which are not written down in this book. 31 But these have been written in order that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that through your faith in him you may have life.
Jēzus augšāmcelšanās
(Mt 28:1–10Mk 16:1–8Lk 24:1–12)
1 Pirmajā nedēļas dienā, rīta agrumā, kad vēl bija tumsa, Marija Magdalēna nāca pie kapa un redzēja akmeni no kapa noveltu. 2 Viņa skriešus devās pie Sīmaņa Pētera un pie otra mācekļa, ko Jēzus mīlēja, un tiem sacīja: “Viņi ir paņēmuši no kapa Kungu, un mēs nezinām, kur tie viņu likuši.” 3 Tad Pēteris un tas otrs māceklis devās uz kapu. 4 Abi skrēja kopā, bet otrais māceklis aizskrēja ātrāk par Pēteri un pie kapa nonāca pirmais. 5 Viņš pieliecās un ieraudzīja linu autu noliktu, bet pats iekšā negāja. 6 Tad, sekodams viņam, atnāca arī Sīmanis Pēteris un, iegājis kapā, ieraudzīja nolikto linu autu, 7 bet sviedrautu, ar ko bija apklāta Jēzus galva, noliktu nevis kopā ar linu autu, bet atsevišķi satītu citā vietā. 8 Tad kapā iegāja arī otrs māceklis, kurš tur bija nonācis pirmais; un viņš redzēja un ticēja. 9 Tie gan vēl nesaprata, ka pēc Rakstiem viņam būs augšāmcelties no mirušajiem. 10 Tad mācekļi atkal aizgāja uz savām mājām.
Jēzus parādās Marijai Magdalēnai
(Mk 16:9–11)
11 Bet Marija stāvēja ārā kapa priekšā un raudāja. Raudādama viņa noliecās kapā 12 un redzēja divus eņģeļus baltās drēbēs sēžam, kur Jēzus miesas bija gulējušas, vienu galvgalī un otru kājgalī. 13 Tie viņai sacīja: “Sieviete, kādēļ tu raudi?” Viņa tiem atbildēja: “Viņi paņēmuši manu Kungu, un es nezinu, kur tie viņu likuši.” 14 To sacījusi, viņa pagriezās atpakaļ un redzēja Jēzu stāvam, bet viņa nezināja, ka tas ir Jēzus. 15 Jēzus viņai sacīja: “Sieviete, kādēļ tu raudi? Ko tu meklē?” Viņa, domādama, ka tas ir dārznieks, viņam sacīja: “Kungs, ja tu viņu esi aiznesis, saki man, kur tu viņu esi licis, es viņu paņemšu.” 16 Jēzus viņai sacīja: “Marija!” Pagriezusies tā viņam ebrejiski saka: “Rabuni” (tas ir: Skolotāj)! 17 Jēzus sacīja: “Nepieskaries man, es vēl neesmu uzkāpis pie Tēva; bet dodies pie maniem brāļiem un saki viņiem: es uzkāpju pie mana Tēva un jūsu Tēva un pie mana Dieva un jūsu Dieva.” 18 Marija Magdalēna atnāca pie mācekļiem un pavēstīja: “Es redzēju Kungu!” Un viņa stāstīja, ko viņš tai sacījis.
Jēzus parādās mācekļiem
(Mt 28:16–20Mk 16:14–18Lk 24:36–49)
19 Šīs nedēļas pirmās dienas vakarā, kad mācekļi, baidīdamies no jūdiem, bija sapulcējušies aiz aizslēgtām durvīm, atnāca Jēzus un, nostājies viņu vidū, sacīja: “Miers jums!” 20 To sacījis, viņš rādīja tiem savas rokas un sānus. Mācekļi, ieraudzījuši Kungu, kļuva līksmi. 21 Jēzus viņiem atkal sacīja: “Miers jums! Kā Tēvs mani ir sūtījis, tā arī es jūs sūtu!” 22 To pateicis, viņš uzpūta dvašu un tiem sacīja: “Saņemiet Svēto Garu! 23 Kam jūs grēkus piedosiet, tiem tie tiks piedoti; kam paturēsiet, tiem paliks.”
Toma neticība
24 Kad Jēzus atnāca, Toms, saukts Dvīnis, viens no tiem divpadsmit, nebija ar viņiem. 25 Citi mācekļi viņam sacīja: “Mēs redzējām Kungu!” Bet viņš tiem atbildēja: “Kamēr es neredzēšu naglu brūces viņa rokās, kamēr nelikšu savu pirkstu viņa naglu brūcēs un kamēr nelikšu savu roku viņa sānos, es neticēšu!” 26 Pēc astoņām dienām mācekļi atkal bija tur kopā, un Toms bija ar viņiem. Durvis bija aizslēgtas, bet Jēzus nāca un, nostājies viņu vidū, sacīja: “Miers jums!” 27 Pēc tam viņš sacīja Tomam: “Stiep šurp savu pirkstu un lūko manas rokas un stiep savu roku un liec manos sānos, un neesi vairs neticīgs, bet esi ticīgs!” 28 Toms viņam atbildēja: “Mans Kungs un mans Dievs!” 29 Jēzus viņam sacīja: “Tu tici tādēļ, ka tu mani redzēji; laimīgi tie, kas nav redzējuši, bet tic.”
Evaņģēlija uzrakstīšanas nolūks
30 Vēl daudzas citas zīmes Jēzus darīja savu mācekļu priekšā, par kurām šajā grāmatā nav rakstīts. 31 Bet šīs ir rakstītas, lai jūs ticētu, ka Jēzus ir Kristus, Dieva Dēls, un lai jums, kas ticat, būtu dzīvība viņa vārdā.
