1 τη δε μια των σαββατων μαρια η μαγδαληνη ερχεται πρωι σκοτιας ετι ουσης εις το μνημειον, και βλεπει τον λιθον ηρμενον εκ του μνημειου.
1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb.
2 τρεχει ουν και ερχεται προς σιμωνα πετρον και προς τον αλλον μαθητην ον εφιλει ο ιησους, και λεγει αυτοις· ηραν τον κυριον εκ του μνημειου, και ουκ οιδαμεν που εθηκαν αυτον.
2 Therefore she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have laid him!”
3 εξηλθεν ουν ο πετρος και ο αλλος μαθητης και ηρχοντο εις το μνημειον.
3 Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.
4 ετρεχον δε οι δυο ομου· και ο αλλος μαθητης προεδραμεν ταχιον του πετρου και ηλθεν πρωτος εις το μνημειον,
4 They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.
5 και παρακυψας βλεπει κειμενα τα οθονια, ου μεντοι εισηλθεν.
5 Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in.
6 ερχεται ουν σιμων πετρος ακολουθων αυτω, και εισηλθεν εις το μνημειον και θεωρει τα οθονια κειμενα,
6 Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,
7 και το σουδαριον, ο ην επι της κεφαλης αυτου, ου μετα των οθονιων κειμενον, αλλα χωρις εντετυλιγμενον εις ενα τοπον.
7 and the cloth that had been on his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but rolled up in a place by itself.
8 τοτε ουν εισηλθεν και ο αλλος μαθητης ο ελθων πρωτος εις το μνημειον, και ειδεν και επιστευσεν·
8 So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.
9 ουδεπω γαρ ηδεισαν την γραφην οτι δει αυτον εκ νεκρων αναστηναι.
9 For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
10 απηλθον ουν παλιν προς εαυτους οι μαθηται.
10 So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
11 μαρια δε ειστηκει προς τω μνημειω κλαιουσα εξω. ως ουν εκλαιεν, παρεκυψεν εις το μνημειον
11 But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,
12 και θεωρει δυο αγγελους εν λευκοις καθεζομενους, ενα προς τη κεφαλη και ενα προς τοις ποσιν, οπου εκειτο το σωμα του ιησου.
12 and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13 και λεγουσιν αυτη εκεινοι· γυναι, τι κλαιεις; λεγει αυτοις· οτι ηραν τον κυριον μου, και ουκ οιδα που εθηκαν αυτον.
13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”
14 και ταυτα ειπουσα εστραφη εις τα οπισω, και θεωρει τον ιησουν εστωτα, και ουκ ηδει οτι ιησους εστιν.
14 When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.
15 λεγει αυτη ο ιησους· γυναι, τι κλαιεις; τινα ζητεις; εκεινη δοκουσα οτι ο κηπουρος εστιν, λεγει αυτω· κυριε, ει συ εβαστασας αυτον, ειπε μοι που εθηκας αυτον, καγω αυτον αρω.
15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”
16 λεγει αυτη ο ιησους· μαρια. στραφεισα εκεινη λεγει αυτω· ραββουνι, ο λεγεται, διδασκαλε.
16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”
17 λεγει αυτη ο ιησους· μη μου απτου· ουπω γαρ αναβεβηκα προς τον πατερα μου· πορευου δε προς τους αδελφους μου και ειπε αυτοις· αναβαινω προς τον πατερα μου και πατερα υμων, και θεον μου και θεον υμων.
17 Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 ερχεται μαρια η μαγδαληνη απαγγελλουσα τοις μαθηταις οτι εωρακεν τον κυριον, και ταυτα ειπεν αυτη.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
19 ουσης ουν οψιας τη ημερα εκεινη τη μια των σαββατων, και των θυρων κεκλεισμενων οπου ησαν οι μαθηται συνηγμενοι δια τον φοβον των ιουδαιων, ηλθεν ο ιησους και εστη εις το μεσον, και λεγει αυτοις· ειρηνη υμιν.
19 When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
20 και τουτο ειπων εδειξεν αυτοις τας χειρας και την πλευραν αυτου. εχαρησαν ουν οι μαθηται ιδοντες τον κυριον.
20 When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.
21 ειπεν ουν αυτοις ο ιησους παλιν· ειρηνη υμιν. καθως απεσταλκεν με ο πατηρ, καγω πεμπω υμας.
21 Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”
22 και τουτο ειπων ενεφυσησεν και λεγει αυτοις· λαβετε πνευμα αγιον·
22 When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
23 αν τινων αφητε τας αμαρτιας, αφιενται αυτοις, αν τινων κρατητε, κεκρατηνται.
23 If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”
24 θωμας δε εις εκ των δωδεκα, ο λεγομενος διδυμος, ουκ ην μετ αυτων οτε ηλθεν ο ιησους.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.
25 ελεγον ουν αυτω οι αλλοι μαθηται· εωρακαμεν τον κυριον. ο δε ειπεν αυτοις· εαν μη ιδω εν ταις χερσιν αυτου τον τυπον των ηλων, και βαλω τον δακτυλον μου εις τον τυπον των ηλων, και βαλω την χειρα μου εις την πλευραν αυτου, ου μη πιστευσω.
25 The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
26 και μεθ ημερας οκτω παλιν ησαν εσω οι μαθηται αυτου και θωμας μετ αυτων. ερχεται ο ιησους των θυρων κεκλεισμενων, και εστη εις το μεσον και ειπεν· ειρηνη υμιν.
26 After eight days, again his disciples were inside and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, “Peace be to you.”
27 ειτα λεγει τω θωμα· φερε τον δακτυλον σου ωδε και ιδε τας χειρας μου, και φερε την χειρα σου και βαλε εις την πλευραν μου, και μη γινου απιστος, αλλα πιστος.
27 Then he said to Thomas, “Reach here your finger, and see my hands. Reach here your hand, and put it into my side. Don’t be unbelieving, but believing.”
28 και απεκριθη θωμας και ειπεν αυτω· ο κυριος μου και ο θεος μου.
28 Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
29 λεγει αυτω ο ιησους· οτι εωρακας με, πεπιστευκας· μακαριοι οι μη ιδοντες και πιστευσαντες.
29 Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
30 πολλα μεν ουν και αλλα σημεια εποιησεν ο ιησους ενωπιον των μαθητων αυτου, α ουκ εστιν γεγραμμενα εν τω βιβλιω τουτω·
30 Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;
31 ταυτα δε γεγραπται ινα πιστευσητε οτι ιησους εστιν ο χριστος ο υιος του θεου, και ινα πιστευοντες ζωην εχητε εν τω ονοματι αυτου.
31 but these are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing you may have life in his name.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Mary Magdalene had brought the news to His disciples, Peter and John, that the Lord was taken away from the sepulchre; and they, when they came thither, found only the linen clothes wherewith the body had been shrouded; and what else could they believe but what she had told them, and what she had herself also believed?

Full of feeling somehow is the female sex, and more inclined to pity. I say this, lest thou shouldest wonder how it could be that Mary wept bitterly at the tomb, while Peter was in no way so affected. For, "The disciples," it saith, "went away unto their own home"; but she stood shedding tears.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 14 (1889)
… and that this same suffered and rose again, as John, the disciple of the Lord, verifies, saying: "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye might have eternal life in His name," --foreseeing these blasphemous systems which divide the Lord, as far as lies in their power, …
They are encouraged in this supposition by the fact that the Lord Jesus after His resurrection breathed on His disciples, and said, "Receive ye the Holy Spirit." From this they suppose that the same thing was effected in either case, as if the evangelist had gone on to say, And they became living souls.
Read in context · Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers, series 1, vol. 2 (1887)
But lest any one from simplicity or perverse ingenuity should suppose that Christ is but equal in honour to righteous men, from His saying, I ascend to My Father, and your Father, it is well to make this distinction beforehand, that the name of the Father is one, but the power of His operation manifold.
