1 The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, to the sepulcher, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulcher.
1 Y EL primer [día] de la semana, María Magdalena vino de mañana, siendo aún obscuro, al sepulcro; y vió la piedra quitada del sepulcro.
2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and saith to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have laid him.
2 Entonces corrió, y vino á Simón Pedro, y al otro discípulo, al cual amaba Jesús, y les dice: Han llevado al Señor del sepulcro, y no sabemos dónde le han puesto.
3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulcher.
3 Y salió Pedro, y el otro discípulo, y vinieron al sepulcro.
4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulcher.
4 Y corrían los dos juntos; mas el otro discípulo corrió más presto que Pedro, y llegó primero al sepulcro.
5 And he stooping down, saw the linen cloths lying; yet he went not in.
5 Y bajándose á mirar, vió los lienzos echados; mas no entró.
6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulcher, and seeth the linen cloths lying;
6 Llegó luego Simón Pedro siguiéndole, y entró en el sepulcro, y vió los lienzos echados,
7 And the napkin that was about his head, not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
7 Y el sudario, que había estado sobre su cabeza, no puesto con los lienzos, sino envuelto en un lugar aparte.
8 Then went in also that other disciple who came first to the sepulcher, and he saw, and believed.
8 Y entonces entró también el otro discípulo, que había venido primero al sepulcro, y vió, y creyó.
9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
9 Porque aun no sabían la Escritura, que era necesario que él resucitase de los muertos.
10 Then the disciples went away again to their own home.
10 Y volvieron los discípulos á los suyos.
11 But Mary stood without at the sepulcher weeping: and as she wept she stooped down [to look] into the sepulcher,
11 Empero María estaba fuera llorando junto al sepulcro: y estando llorando, bajóse á mirar el sepulcro;
12 And seeth two angels in white, sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
12 Y vió dos ángeles en ropas blancas que estaban sentados, el uno á la cabecera, y el otro á los pies, donde el cuerpo de Jesús había sido puesto.
13 And they say to her, Woman, why weepest thou? she saith to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
13 Y dijéronle: Mujer, ¿por qué lloras? Díceles: Porque se han llevado á mi Señor, y no sé dónde le han puesto.
14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself about, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
14 Y como hubo dicho esto, volvióse atrás, y vió á Jesús que estaba [allí]; mas no sabía que era Jesús.
15 Jesus saith to her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
15 Dícele Jesús: Mujer, ¿por qué lloras? ¿á quién buscas? Ella, pensando que era el hortelano, dícele: Señor, si tú lo has llevado, dime dónde lo has puesto, y yo lo llevaré.
16 Jesus saith to her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith to him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.
16 Dícele Jesús: ¡María! Volviéndose ella, dícele: ¡Rabboni! que quiere decir, Maestro.
17 Jesus saith to her, Touch me not: for I have not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] my God and your God.
17 Dícele Jesús: No me toques: porque aun no he subido á mi Padre: mas ve á mis hermanos, y diles: Subo á mi Padre y á vuestro Padre, á mi Dios y á vuestro Dios.
18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had spoken these things to her.
18 Fué María Magdalena dando las nuevas á los discípulos de que había visto al Señor, y que [él] le había dicho estas cosas.
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, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, Peace [be] to you.
19 Y como fué tarde aquel día, el primero de la semana, y estando las puertas cerradas donde los discípulos estaban juntos por miedo de los Judíos, vino Jesús, y púsose en medio, y díjoles: Paz á vosotros.
20 And when he had so said, he showed to them [his] hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad when they saw the Lord.
20 Y como hubo dicho esto, mostróles las manos y el costado. Y los discípulos se gozaron viendo al Señor.
21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] to you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so I send you.
21 Entonces les dijo Jesús otra vez: Paz á vosotros; como me envió el Padre, así también yo os envío.
22 And when he had said this, he breathed on [them] , and saith to them, Receive ye the Holy Spirit.
22 Y como hubo dicho esto, sopló, y díjoles: Tomad el Espíritu Santo:
23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; [and] whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
23 A los que remitiereis los pecados, les son remitidos: á quienes los retuviereis, serán retenidos.
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
24 Empero Tomás, uno de los doce, que se dice el Dídimo, no estaba con ellos cuando Jesús vino.
25 The other disciples therefore said to him, We have seen the Lord. But he said to them, Except 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.
25 Dijéronle pues los otros discípulos: Al Señor hemos visto. Y él les dijo: Si no viere en sus manos la señal de los clavos, y metiere mi dedo en el lugar de los clavos, y metiere mi mano en su costado, no creeré.
26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: [then] came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace [be] to you.
26 Y ocho días después, estaban otra vez sus discípulos dentro, y con ellos Tomás. Vino Jesús, las puertas cerradas, y púsose en medio, y dijo: Paz á vosotros.
27 Then saith 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.
27 Luego dice á Tomás: Mete tu dedo aquí, y ve mis manos: y alarga acá tu mano, y métela en mi costado: y no seas incrédulo, sino fiel.
28 And Thomas answered and said to him, My Lord and my God.
28 Entonces Tomás respondió, y díjole: ¡Señor mío, y Dios mío!
29 Jesus saith to him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed [are] they that have not seen, and [yet] have believed.
29 Dícele Jesús: Porque me has visto, Tomás, creiste: bienaventurados los que no vieron y creyeron.
30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
30 Y también hizo Jesús muchas otras señales en presencia de sus discípulos, que no están escritas en este libro.
31 But these are written, that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life through his name.
31 Estas empero son escritas, para que creáis que Jesús es el Cristo, el Hijo de Dios; y para que creyendo, tengáis vida en su nombre.

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.

… 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.

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.
