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.
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.
