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.
Isusovo uskrsnuće
(Mt 28:1-10; Mk 16:1-8; Lk 24:1-12)
1U nedjelju20:1 U grčkome: prvoga dana u tjednu. rano ujutro, još za mraka, dođe na grob Marija Magdalena i opazi da je odvaljen kamen s ulaza u grob. 2Otrči stoga pronaći Šimuna Petra i još jednog učenika, koga je Isus osobito volio, pa im reče: “Uzeli su Gospodinovo tijelo iz groba i ne znam kamo su ga stavili!”
3Petar tada iziđe s drugim učenikom te potrče prema grobu. 4Drugi učenik prestigne Petra i stigne onamo prvi, 5sagne se, zaviri unutra te spazi povoje od lanena platna gdje leže, ali ne uđe. 6Tada pristigne i Šimun Petar pa uđe u grob. I on ugleda povoje gdje leže 7i platno u koje je bila umotana Isusova glava kako presavijeno leži sa strane. 8Tada je ušao i drugi učenik, vidio i povjerovao— 9jer sve do tada nisu shvatili da Sveto pismo govori kako će Isus ustati od mrtvih. 10Vrate se kući.
Isus se pojavljuje pred Marijom Magdalenom
(Mt 28:9-10; Mk 16:9-11)
11Marija se vratila na grob i stajala vani plačući. Zaplakana se sagne i zaviri u grob 12te ugleda dva anđela obučena u bijelo kako sjede, jedan do glave, a drugi do nogu na mjestu gdje je ležalo Isusovo tijelo. 13“Zašto plačeš?” upitaju anđeli.
“Zato što su mi uzeli Gospodina,” odgovori ona, “a ne znam kamo su ga stavili!”
14Obazre se i ugleda da netko stoji iza nje. Bio je to Isus, ali ga nije prepoznala. 15“Zašto plačeš?” upita on. “Koga tražiš?”
Ona pomisli da je to vrtlar. “Gospodine,” reče, “ako ste ga vi odnijeli, recite mi kamo ste ga stavili pa ću otići i uzeti ga.”
16“Marijo!” reče joj Isus.
Ona se okrene prema njemu i uzvikne na hebrejskome: “Rabbuni!” (što znači: “Učitelju!”)
17“Nemoj me dulje zadržavati”, upozori ju, “jer još nisam uzišao k Ocu. Idi, nađi moju braću i javi im da uzlazim svojemu Ocu i vašemu Ocu, svojemu Bogu i vašemu Bogu.”
18Marija Magdalena ode javiti učenicima da je vidjela Gospodina i prenese im njegovu poruku.
Isus se pojavljuje pred učenicima
(Mt 28:16-20; Mk 16:14-18; Lk 24:36-49)
19Te su se večeri prvoga dana u tjednu učenici sastali iza zaključanih vrata zbog straha od židovskih vođa kad odjednom među njih stane Isus. Pozdravi ih: “Mir vama!” 20Kad im je to rekao, pokaže im svoje ruke i bok. Učenici se razvesele kad ugledaju svojega Gospodina. 21Isus im opet reče: “Mir vama! Kao što je mene poslao Otac, tako i ja šaljem vas.” 22Zatim dahne u njih i reče: “Primite Svetoga Duha! 23Kojima oprostite grijehe, oprošteni su im. Kojima ne oprostite grijehe, nisu im oprošteni.”
Isus se pojavljuje pred Tomom
24Jedan od Dvanaestorice, Toma zvani Blizanac, nije tada bio s drugima. 25“Vidjeli smo Gospodina”, rekli su mu, a on odgovori: “Ne vjerujem sve dok ne vidim rane od čavala na njegovim rukama, dok u njih ne stavim prste i dok ne stavim ruku u ranu na njegovu boku.”
26Nakon osam dana učenici su ponovno bili skupa. Taj je put s njima bio i Toma. Iako su vrata bila zatvorena, Isus stane među njih i pozdravi ih: “Mir vama!” 27Zatim reče Tomi: “Daj ovamo prst; evo mojih ruku! Stavi ruku u moj bok. Ne budi više nevjernik. Vjeruj!”
28“Moj Gospodin i moj Bog!” uzvikne Toma.
29Isus mu reče: “Ti vjeruješ jer si me vidio. Ali blago onima koji me nisu vidjeli, a vjeruju.”
Svrha ove knjige
30Isusovi učenici vidjeli su kako Isus čini i mnoga druga čuda osim zapisanih u ovoj knjizi. 31Ova su zapisana da vjerujete20:31 U nekim rukopisima: da i dalje vjerujete. da je Isus Mesija, Božji Sin, te da vjerujući u njega imate život.
