The Holy Gospel Of Jesus Christ,
According To John Chapter 20
1 Mary bringeth word that Christ is risen.
3 Peter and John
4 run to see it.
15 Jesus appeareth to Mary,
19 and to the disciples that were
together in the house,
25 Thomas, before faithless,
29 now believeth.
1 Now (*) (1) 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 tomb.
(*) Mark 16:1; Luke 24:1 .
(1) Mary Magdalene, Peter and John are
the first witnesses of the resurrection; and
such as cannot justly be suspected, for that
they themselves could scarcely be persuaded
of it, so far is it off, that they should invent
it of set purpose.
() She departed from home before day,
and came thither about the sun rising,
Mark 16:2 .
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 the other disciple, and they came
unto the sepulcher.
4 So they ran both together, but the other
disciple did outrun Peter, and came first
to the sepulcher.
5 And he stooped down, and saw the
linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
6 Then came Simon Peter following him,
and went into the sepulcher, and saw the
linen clothes lie,
7 And the (*) kerchief that was upon his
head, not lying with the linen clothes,
but wrapped together in a place by itself.
(*) Or, napkin.
8 Then went in also the (*) other disciple,
which came first to the sepulcher, and
he saw it, () and believed.
(*) That is, John which wrote this Gospel.
() He believed that Christ's body was taken
away, according as Mary reported.
9 For as yet they knew not the Scripture,
That he must rise again from the dead.
10 And the disciples went away again unto
their (*) own home.
(*) Or, to their company.
11 ¶ (*) But Mary stood (a) without at
the sepulcher weeping; and as she wept,
she bowed herself into the sepulcher,
(*) Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:5 .
(a) That is, without the cave, which the
sepulcher was cut out of.
12 (2) And saw two Angels in (b) white,
sitting, the one at the head, and the other
at the feet, where the body of Jesus had
lain.
(2) Two Angels are made witnesses
of the Lord's resurrection.
(b) In white clothing.
13 And they said unto her,
Woman, why weepest thou?
She said unto them,
They have taken away (c) my Lord, and
I know not where they have laid him.
(c) Mary spoke as the common people
used to speak; for they spoke of a dead
carcass, as they do of a whole man.
14 (3) When she had thus said, she turned
herself back, and saw Jesus standing,
and knew not that it was Jesus.
(3) Jesus witnesseth by his presence, that
he is truly risen.
15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman,
why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?
She supposing that he had been the gardener,
said unto him, Sir, if thou hast borne him
hence, tell me where thou hast laid him,
and I will take him away.
16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary.
She turned herself, and said unto him,
Rabboni, which is to say, Master.
17 (4) Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not,
for I am not yet (*) ascended to my Father;
but go to my (d) () brethren, and say unto
them, I ascend unto (e) my Father, and
to your Father, and to my God, and your
() God.
(4) Christ which is risen, is not to be sought
in this world according to the flesh, but in
heaven by faith, whither he is gone before us.
(*) Because she was to much addicted to
the corporal presence, Christ teacheth her
to lift up her mind by faith into heaven where
only after his ascension he remaineth, and
where we sit with him at the right hand of
the Father.
(d) By his brethren he meaneth his disciples;
for in the next verse following, it is said, that
Mary told his disciples.
() That is, the disciples; for he was the first
born amongst many brethren,
Psalm 22:23; Romans 8:29;
Colossians 1:18 .
(e) He calleth God his Father because he
is his Father naturally in the Godhead, and
he saith your Father, because he is our Father
by grace, through the adoption of the sons
of God; that is, by taking us of his free grace
to be his sons,
Epiphanius.
() He is our Father and our God, because
Jesus Christ is our brother.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the
disciples that she had seen the Lord,
and that he had spoken these things unto
her.
19 ¶ (*) (5) The same day then at night,
which was the first day of the week, and
when the (f) () doors were shut where the
disciples were assembled for fear of the
Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst,
and said to them, () Peace be unto you.
(*) Mark 16:14; Luke 24:36;
1 Corinthians 15:5 .
(5) Christ in that he presented himself before
his disciples suddenly through his divine power,
when the gates were shut, doeth fully assure
them both of his resurrection, and also of their
Apostleship, inspiring them with the holy Ghost,
who is the director of the ministry of the Gospel.
(f) Either the doors opened to him of their
own accord, or the very walls themselves
were a passage for him.
() So that no man opened him the doors,
but by his divine power he caused them
to open of their own accord, as of Peter
is read,
Acts 5:19; Acts 17:10 .
() Or all prosperity; which manner of
greeting the Jews used.
20 And when he had so said, he shewed
unto them his hands, and his side.
Then were the disciples glad when they had
seen the Lord.
21 (*) Then said Jesus to them again,
Peace be unto you; as my Father sent me,
so send I you.
(*) Matthew 28:18 .
22 And when he had said that, he
(*) breathed on them, and said unto them,
Receive the holy Ghost.
(*) To give them greater power and virtue
to execute that weighty charge that he would
commit unto them.
23 (6) Whosoever's sins ye remit, they are
remitted unto them; and whosoever's sins
ye retain, they are retained.
(6) The publishing of the forgiveness of sins
by faith in Christ, and the setting forth and
denouncing the wrath of God in retaining
the sins of the unbelievers, is the sum of
the preaching of the Gospel.
24 ¶ (7) But Thomas one of the twelve,
called Didymus, was not with them when
Jesus came.
(7) Christ draweth out of the unbelief of
Thomas, a certain and sure testimony of
his resurrection.
25 The other disciples therefore said unto
him, We have seen the Lord. But he said
unto them, Except I see in his hands the print
of the nails, and put my finger into the
(*) print of the nails, and put my hand into
his side, I will not believe it.
(*) Or, place.
26 ¶ And eight days after, again his disciples
were within, and Thomas with them.
Then came Jesus, when the doors were
shut, and stood in the midst, and said,
Peace be unto you.
27 After said he to Thomas, Put thy finger
here, and see my hands, and put forth
thy hand, and put it into my side, and be
not faithless, but faithful.
28 Then Thomas answered and said unto
him, Thou art my Lord, and my God.
29 (8) Jesus said unto him, Thomas, because
thou hast seen me, thou believest; blessed
are they that have (*) not seen, and have
believed.
(8) True faith dependeth upon the mouth
of God, and not upon fleshly eyes.
(*) Which depend upon the simplicity of
God's word, and ground not themselves
upon man's sense and reason.
30 (*) (9) And many other signs also did
Jesus in the presence of his disciples,
which are not written in this book.
(*) John 21:25 .
(9) To believe in Christ, the Son of God,
and our only Saviour, is the end of the
doctrine of the Gospel, and especially of
the history of the resurrection.
31 But these things are written that ye might
believe, that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God,
and that in believing ye might have life
through his Name.
