¹ So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first man, and of the other who had been crucified with Him.

² But when they came to Jesus and saw that He was already dead, they did not break His legs.

³ But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came [flowing] out.

⁴ And he (John, the eyewitness) who has seen it has testified, and his testimony is true; and he knows that he is telling the truth, so that you also [who read this] may believe.

⁵ For these things took place to fulfill the Scripture, "Not a bone of His shall be broken."

⁶ And again another Scripture says, "They shall look at Him whom they have pierced."

⁷ And after this, Joseph of Arimathea—a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews—asked Pilate to let him take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him permission. So he came and took away His body.

⁸ Nicodemus, who had first come to Him at night, also came bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, [weighing] about a hundred [Roman][17] pounds.

⁹ So they took Jesus' body and bound it in linen wrappings with the fragrant spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews.

¹⁰ Now there was a garden at the place where He was crucified, and in the garden a new tomb [cut out of solid rock] in which no one had yet been laid.

¹¹ Therefore, because of the Jewish day of Preparation, and since the tomb was nearby, they laid Jesus there.

¹² Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw the stone [already] removed from the [groove across the entrance of the] tomb.

¹³ So she ran and went to Simon Peter and to the[1] other disciple (John), whom Jesus loved (esteemed), and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and[2] we do not know where they have laid Him!"

¹⁴ So Peter and the other disciple left, and they were going to the tomb.

¹⁵ And the two were running together, but the other disciple outran Peter and arrived at the tomb first.

¹⁶ Stooping down and looking in, he saw the linen[3] wrappings [neatly] lying there; but he did not go in.

¹⁷ Then Simon Peter came up, following him, and went into the tomb and saw the linen wrappings [neatly] lying there;

¹⁸ and the [burial][4] face-cloth which had been on Jesus' head, not lying with the [other] linen wrappings, but[5] rolled up in a place by itself.

¹⁹ So the other disciple, who had reached the tomb first, went in too; and he saw [the wrappings and the face-cloth] and[6] believed [without any doubt that Jesus had risen from the dead].

²⁰ For as yet they did not understand the Scripture, that He must rise from the dead.

²¹ Then the disciples went back again to their own homes.

²² But Mary [who had returned] was standing outside the tomb sobbing; and so, as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb;

²³ and she saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

²⁴ And they said to her, "Woman, why are you crying?" She told them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."

²⁵ After saying this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

²⁶ Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you crying? For whom are you looking?" Supposing that He was the gardener, she replied, "Sir, if you are the one who has carried Him away from here, tell me where you have put Him, and I will take Him away."

²⁷ Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him in[7] Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).

²⁸ Jesus said to her, "[8] Do not hold Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brothers and tell them, 'I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.'"

²⁹ Mary Magdalene came, reporting to the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had said these things to her.

³⁰ So when it was evening on that same day, the first day of the week, though the disciples were [meeting] behind barred doors for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them, and said, "[9] Peace to you."

³¹ After He said this, He showed them His hands and His side. When the disciples saw the Lord, they were filled with great joy.

³² Then Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you [as My representatives]."

³³ And when He said this, He breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit.

³⁴ If you forgive the sins of anyone they are forgiven [because of their faith]; if you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained [and remain unforgiven because of their unbelief]."

³⁵ But Thomas, one of the twelve [disciples], who was called Didymus (the twin), was not with them when Jesus came.
