1 And on the first of the sabbaths, Mary the Magdalene doth come early (there being yet darkness) to the tomb, and she seeth the stone having been taken away out of the tomb,
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 she runneth, therefore, and cometh unto Simon Peter, and unto the other disciple whom Jesus was loving, and saith to them, 'They took away the Lord out of the tomb, and we have not known where they 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 the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,
3 Y salió Pedro, y el otro discípulo, y vinieron al sepulcro.
4 and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,
4 Y corrían los dos juntos; mas el otro discípulo corrió más presto que Pedro, y llegó primero al sepulcro.
5 and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not.
5 Y bajándose á mirar, vió los lienzos echados; mas no entró.
6 Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,
6 Llegó luego Simón Pedro siguiéndole, y entró en el sepulcro, y vió los lienzos echados,
7 and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place;
7 Y el sudario, que había estado sobre su cabeza, no puesto con los lienzos, sino envuelto en un lugar aparte.
8 then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;
8 Y entonces entró también el otro discípulo, que había venido primero al sepulcro, y vió, y creyó.
9 for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again.
9 Porque aun no sabían la Escritura, que era necesario que él resucitase de los muertos.
10 The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends,
10 Y volvieron los discípulos á los suyos.
11 and Mary was standing near the tomb, weeping without; as she was weeping, then, she stooped down to the tomb, and beholdeth two messengers in white, sitting,
11 Empero María estaba fuera llorando junto al sepulcro: y estando llorando, bajóse á mirar el sepulcro;
12 one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.
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 dost thou weep?' she saith to them, 'Because they took away my Lord, and I have not known where they 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 these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is 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 dost thou weep? whom dost thou seek;' she, supposing that he is the gardener, saith to him, 'Sir, if thou didst carry him away, tell me where thou didst lay 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!' having turned, she saith to him, 'Rabbouni;' that is to say, 'Teacher.'
16 Dícele Jesús: ¡María! Volviéndose ella, dícele: ¡Rabboni! que quiere decir, Maestro.
17 Jesus saith to her, 'Be not touching me, for I have not yet ascended unto my Father; and be going on to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father, and to my God, and to 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 the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and [that] these things he said 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 It being, therefore, evening, on that day, the first of the sabbaths, and the doors having been shut where the disciples were assembled, through fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and saith to them, 'Peace 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 this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.
20 Y como hubo dicho esto, mostróles las manos y el costado. Y los discípulos se gozaron viendo al Señor.
21 Jesus, therefore, said to them again, 'Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;'
21 Entonces les dijo Jesús otra vez: Paz á vosotros; como me envió el Padre, así también yo os envío.
22 and this having said, he breathed on [them], and saith to them, 'Receive the Holy Spirit;
22 Y como hubo dicho esto, sopló, y díjoles: Tomad el Espíritu Santo:
23 if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.'
23 A los que remitiereis los pecados, les son remitidos: á quienes los retuviereis, serán retenidos.
24 And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is 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;' and he said to them, 'If I may not see in his hands the mark of the nails, and may put my finger to the mark of the nails, and may put my hand to 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 were his disciples within, and Thomas with them; Jesus cometh, the doors having been shut, and he stood in the midst, and said, 'Peace 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 he saith to Thomas, 'Bring thy finger hither, and see my hands, and bring thy hand, and put [it] to my side, and become not unbelieving, 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, 'Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.'
29 Dícele Jesús: Porque me has visto, Tomás, creiste: bienaventurados los que no vieron y creyeron.
30 Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that 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 and these have been written that ye may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing ye may have life in 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.
