John 20-21

21st Century King James Version

20 On the first day of the week came Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulcher and saw the stone taken away from the sepulcher.

² Then she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid Him!”

³ Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulcher.

⁴ And they both ran together, and the other disciple outran Peter and came first to the sepulcher.

⁵ And stooping down and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying, yet he went not in.

⁶ Then came Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulcher and saw the linen cloths as they lay

⁷ and the napkin that had been about His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

⁸ Then the other disciple, who came first to the sepulcher, went in also; and he saw, and believed.

⁹ For as yet they knew not the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead.

¹⁰ Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

¹¹ But Mary stood outside at the sepulcher weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the sepulcher,

¹² and saw two angels in white, sitting one at the head and the other at the feet where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹³ And they said unto her, “Woman, why weepest thou?” She said unto them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him.”

¹⁴ And when she had thus said, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

¹⁵ Jesus said unto her, “Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?” She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said unto Him, “Sir, if thou have borne Him hence, tell me where thou hast laid Him, and I will take Him away.”

¹⁶ Jesus said unto her, “Mary!” She turned herself and said unto Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, “Master”).

¹⁷ Jesus said unto her, “Touch Me not, for I am not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say unto them, ‘I ascend unto My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’”

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things unto her.

¹⁹ Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in their midst and said unto them, “Peace be unto you.”

²⁰ And when He had so said, He showed unto them His hands and His side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.

²¹ Then said Jesus to them again, “Peace be unto you. As My Father hath sent Me, even so send I you.”

²² And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said unto them, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost.

²³ Whosoever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whosoever sins ye retain, they are retained.”

²⁴ But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

²⁵ The other disciples therefore said unto him, “We have seen the Lord.” But he said unto them, “Unless I shall see in His hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into His side, I will not believe.”

²⁶ And after eight days the disciples were again within, and Thomas was with them. Then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in their midst and said, “Peace be unto you.”

²⁷ Then said He to Thomas, “Reach hither thy finger and behold My hands, and reach hither thy hand and thrust it into My side: and be not faithless, but believing.”

²⁸ And Thomas answered and said unto Him, “My Lord and my God!”

²⁹ Jesus said unto him, “Thomas, because thou hast seen Me, thou hast believed. Blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed.”

³⁰ And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of His disciples, which are not written in this book.

³¹ But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, ye might have life through His name.

21 After these things Jesus showed Himself again to the disciples at the Sea of Tiberias, and in this way showed He Himself:

² There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Didymus, and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of His disciples.

³ Simon Peter said unto them, “I am going fishing.” They said unto him, “We also go with thee.” They went forth and entered into a boat immediately; and that night they caught nothing.

⁴ But when the morning had now come, Jesus stood on the shore, but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus.

⁵ Then Jesus said unto them, “Children, have ye any meat?” And they answered Him, “No.”

⁶ And He said unto them, “Cast the net on the right side of the boat, and ye shall find.” They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it in for the multitude of fishes.

⁷ Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said unto Peter, “It is the Lord!” Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded his fisher’s coat unto him (for he was naked) and cast himself into the sea.

⁸ And the other disciples came in a little boat (for they were not far from land, but, as it were, two hundred cubits), dragging the net with fishes.

⁹ As soon then as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon and bread.

¹⁰ Jesus said unto them, “Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.”

¹¹ Simon Peter went up and drew the net to land, full of great fishes, a hundred and fifty three; and though there were so many, yet the net was not broken.

¹² Jesus said unto them, “Come and dine.” And none of the disciples dared ask Him, “Who art Thou?” knowing that it was the Lord.

¹³ Jesus then came and took bread and gave it to them, and fish likewise.

¹⁴ This is now the third time that Jesus showed Himself to His disciples after He was risen from the dead.

¹⁵ So when they had dined, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou Me more than these?” He said unto Him, “Yea, Lord; Thou knowest that I love Thee.” He said unto him, “Feed My lambs.”

¹⁶ He said to him again the second time, “Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou Me?” He said unto Him, “Yea, Lord; Thou knowest that I love Thee.” He said unto him, “Feed My sheep.”

¹⁷ He said unto him the third time, “Simon, son of Jonah, lovest thou Me?” Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time, “Lovest thou Me?” And he said unto Him, “Lord, Thou knowest all things. Thou knowest that I love Thee.” Jesus said unto him, “Feed My sheep.

¹⁸ Verily, verily I say unto thee, when thou wast young, thou girded thyself and walked whither thou wouldest; but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee and carry thee whither thou wouldest not.”

¹⁹ This spoke He, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said unto him, “Follow Me.”

²⁰ Then Peter, turning about, saw the disciple whom Jesus loved following, who also had leaned on His breast at supper, and said, “Lord, who is he that betrayeth Thee?”

²¹ Peter, seeing him, said to Jesus, “Lord, and what shall this man do?”

²² Jesus said unto him, “If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou Me.”

²³ Then this saying went abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not die. Yet Jesus had not said unto him, “He shall not die,” but, “If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee?”

²⁴ This is the disciple who testifieth of these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true.

²⁵ And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
