John 20 – NIRV & CCB

New International Reader’s Version

John 20:1-31

The Tomb Is Empty

1Early on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb. It was still dark. She saw that the stone had been moved away from the entrance. 2So she ran to Simon Peter and another disciple, the one Jesus loved. She said, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb! We don’t know where they have put him!”

3So Peter and the other disciple started out for the tomb. 4Both of them were running. The other disciple ran faster than Peter. He reached the tomb first. 5He bent over and looked in at the strips of linen lying there. But he did not go in. 6Then Simon Peter came along behind him. He went straight into the tomb. He saw the strips of linen lying there. 7He also saw the funeral cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus’ head. The cloth was still lying in its place. It was separate from the linen. 8The disciple who had reached the tomb first also went inside. He saw and believed. 9They still did not understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead. 10Then the disciples went back to where they were staying.

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11But Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she cried, she bent over to look into the tomb. 12She saw two angels dressed in white. They were seated where Jesus’ body had been. One of them was where Jesus’ head had been laid. The other sat where his feet had been placed.

13They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said. “I don’t know where they have put him.” 14Then she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she didn’t realize that it was Jesus.

15He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”

She thought he was the gardener. So she said, “Sir, did you carry him away? Tell me where you put him. Then I will go and get him.”

16Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him. Then she cried out in the Aramaic language, “Rabboni!” Rabboni means Teacher.

17Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me. I have not yet ascended to the Father. Instead, go to those who believe in me. Tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’ ”

18Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news. She said, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

19On the evening of that first day of the week, the disciples were together. They had locked the doors because they were afraid of the Jewish leaders. Jesus came in and stood among them. He said, “May peace be with you!” 20Then he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples were very happy when they saw the Lord.

21Again Jesus said, “May peace be with you! The Father has sent me. So now I am sending you.” 22He then breathed on them. He said, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23If you forgive anyone’s sins, their sins are forgiven. If you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven.”

Jesus Appears to Thomas

24Thomas was one of the 12 disciples. He was also called Didymus. He was not with the other disciples when Jesus came. 25So they told him, “We have seen the Lord!”

But he said to them, “First I must see the nail marks in his hands. I must put my finger where the nails were. I must put my hand into his side. Only then will I believe.”

26A week later, Jesus’ disciples were in the house again. Thomas was with them. Even though the doors were locked, Jesus came in and stood among them. He said, “May peace be with you!” 27Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here. See my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

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

29Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen me but still have believed.”

The Purpose of John’s Gospel

30Jesus performed many other signs in front of his disciples. They are not written down in this book. 31But these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God. If you believe this, you will have life because you belong to him.

约翰福音 20:1-31

耶稣复活

1周日清晨,天还未亮,抹大拉玛丽亚就来到坟墓前,发现封住墓口的石头已经挪开了。 2她赶快跑去告诉西门·彼得和耶稣所爱的那个门徒,说:“有人把主从坟墓里搬走了,不知放到哪里去了。”

3彼得和那个门徒听了就出去,往坟墓那边跑。 4两个人一起跑,但那个门徒比彼得跑得快,所以先到了坟墓。 5他并没有进去,只是探头往里看,看见细麻布还在那里。 6西门·彼得随后也来了,他进到里边,看到细麻布放在那里, 7耶稣的裹头巾则卷着放在另一处,没有和细麻布放在一起。 8先到的那个门徒也进来了,看见这种情形,就信了。 9因为他们还不明白圣经上有关耶稣必要从死里复活的话。 10然后,他们各自回家去了。

11玛丽亚却站在坟墓外面哭泣,边哭边往坟墓里面看, 12看见两个穿着白衣的天使分别坐在原来安放耶稣遗体的头脚两端。

13天使对她说:“妇人,你为什么哭呢?”

她说:“有人把我的主搬走了,不知道放在什么地方。” 14说完,她转过身来,看见耶稣站在那里,但她不知道那就是耶稣。

15耶稣问她:“妇人,你为什么哭?你在找谁?”

玛丽亚还以为祂是园丁,就说:“先生,如果是你把祂搬走了,请告诉我放在哪里了,我好搬回来。”

16耶稣说:“玛丽亚。”

玛丽亚立即转过头来用希伯来话对祂说:“拉波尼!”拉波尼的意思是老师。

17耶稣说:“不要拉着我,我还没有升到父那里。你先去找我的众弟兄,告诉他们我要升天去见我的父,也是你们的父;去见我的上帝,也是你们的上帝。”

18抹大拉玛丽亚就去向门徒报讯,说:“我看见主了!”又把主对她说的话告诉门徒。

向门徒显现

19当天晚上,即周日晚上,门徒因为害怕犹太人,把房门都关上了。忽然,耶稣来了,站在他们当中,对他们说:“愿你们平安!” 20说完,让他们看祂的手和肋旁。门徒看见主,十分欢喜。

21耶稣又说:“愿你们平安!父怎样差遣我,我也照样差遣你们。” 22然后祂向他们吹了一口气,说:“你们领受圣灵吧! 23你们赦免谁的罪,谁的罪就得到赦免;你们不赦免谁的罪,谁的罪就得不到赦免。”

向多马显现

24耶稣显现的时候,十二个门徒中绰号“双胞胎”的多马不在场。 25其他门徒告诉他:“我们看见主了!”可是多马说:“除非我亲眼看见祂手上的钉痕,用手摸到祂手上的钉痕和祂的肋旁,否则我决不信。”

26过了八天,门徒又聚在一起,多马也在,门都关着。突然耶稣来了,站在他们当中说:“愿你们平安!” 27然后对多马说:“把你的指头放在我手上摸摸看,伸出手来摸摸我的肋旁。不要怀疑,要信!”

28多马回答说:“我的主,我的上帝!”

29耶稣说:“你看见我才信,那些没有看见就信的人有福了。”

30耶稣在门徒面前还行了许多神迹,只是没有记在这本书里。 31而记载这些事的目的是为了使你们相信耶稣就是基督,是上帝的儿子,并且使你们这些信祂的人可以靠祂的名得到生命。
