John 20 (WEBP)

[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] 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] Therefore Peter and the other disciple went out, and they went toward the tomb.
[4] They both ran together. The other disciple outran Peter and came to the tomb first.
[5] Stooping and looking in, he saw the linen cloths lying there; yet he didn’t enter in.
[6] Then Simon Peter came, following him, and entered into the tomb. He saw the linen cloths lying,
[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] So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.
[9] For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
[10] So the disciples went away again to their own homes.
[11] But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,
[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] 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] When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.
[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] Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”
[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] Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had said these things to her.
[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] When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.
[21] Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you.”
[22] When he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit!
[23] If you forgive anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”
[24] But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.
[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] 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] 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] Thomas answered him, “My Lord and my God!”
[29] Jesus said to him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and have believed.”
[30] Therefore Jesus did many other signs in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book;
[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.

John 20:16a Rabboni is a transliteration of the Hebrew word for “great teacher.”
John 20:16b or, Master
John 20:24 or, Twin

Young’s Literal Translation

John 20 (YLT)

[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,
[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.’
[3] Peter, therefore, went forth, and the other disciple, and they were coming to the tomb,
[4] and the two were running together, and the other disciple did run forward more quickly than Peter, and came first to the tomb,
[5] and having stooped down, seeth the linen clothes lying, yet, indeed, he entered not.
[6] Simon Peter, therefore, cometh, following him, and he entered into the tomb, and beholdeth the linen clothes lying,
[7] and the napkin that was upon his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but apart, having been folded up, in one place;
[8] then, therefore, entered also the other disciple who came first unto the tomb, and he saw, and did believe;
[9] for not yet did they know the Writing, that it behoveth him out of the dead to rise again.
[10] The disciples therefore went away again unto their own friends,
[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,
[12] one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been laid.
[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;’
[14] and these things having said, she turned backward, and seeth Jesus standing, and she had not known that it is Jesus.
[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;’
[16] Jesus saith to her, ‘Mary!’ having turned, she saith to him, ‘Rabbouni;’ that is to say, ‘Teacher.’
[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.’
[18] Mary the Magdalene cometh, telling to the disciples that she hath seen the Lord, and that these things he said to her.
[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;’
[20] and this having said, he shewed them his hands and side; the disciples, therefore, rejoiced, having seen the Lord.
[21] Jesus, therefore, said to them again, ‘Peace to you; according as the Father hath sent me, I also send you;’
[22] and this having said, he breathed on them, and saith to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit;
[23] if of any ye may loose the sins, they are loosed to them; if of any ye may retain, they have been retained.’
[24] And Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came;
[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.’
[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!’
[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.’
[28] And Thomas answered and said to him, ‘My Lord and my God;’
[29] Jesus saith to him, ‘Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed; happy those not having seen, and having believed.’
[30] Many indeed, therefore, other signs also did Jesus before his disciples, that are not written in this book;
[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.’
