Seeker Overlay ON

* The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early , when it was yet dark , unto the sepulchre , and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre . * Then she runneth , and cometh to Simon Peter , and to the other disciple , whom Jesus loved , and saith unto them , They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre , and we know not where they have laid him . * Peter therefore went forth , and that other disciple , and came to the sepulchre . * So they ran both together : and the other disciple did outrun Peter , and came first to the sepulchre . * And he stooping down , and looking in , saw the linen clothes lying ; yet went he not in . * Then cometh Simon Peter following him , and went into the sepulchre , and seeth the linen clothes lie , * And the napkin , that was about his head , not lying with the linen clothes , but wrapped together in a place by itself . * Then went in also that other disciple , which came first to the sepulchre , and he saw , and believed . * For as yet they knew not the scripture , that he must rise again from the dead . * Then the disciples went away again unto their own home . * But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping : and as she wept , she stooped down , and looked into the sepulchre , * 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 . * And they say unto her , Woman , why weepest thou ? She saith unto them , Because they have taken away my Lord , and I know not where they have laid him . * And when she had thus said , she turned herself back , and saw Jesus standing , and knew not that it was Jesus . * Jesus saith unto her , Woman , why weepest thou ? whom seekest thou ? She , supposing him to be the gardener , saith unto him , Sir , if thou have borne him hence , tell me where thou hast laid him , and I will take him away . * Jesus saith unto her , Mary . She turned herself , and saith unto him , Rabboni ; which is to say , Master . * Jesus saith unto her , Touch me not ; for I am not yet ascended to my Father : but go to my brethren , and say unto them , I ascend unto my Father , and your Father ; and to my God , and your God . * Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord , and that he had spoken these things unto her . * 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 , came Jesus and stood in the midst , and saith unto them , Peace be unto you . * And when he had so said , he shewed unto them his hands and his side . Then were the disciples glad , when they saw the Lord . * Then said Jesus to them again , Peace be unto you : as my Father hath sent me , even so send I you . * And when he had said this , he breathed on them , and saith unto them , Receive ye the Holy Ghost : * Whose soever sins ye remit , they are remitted unto them ; and whose soever sins ye retain , they are retained . * But Thomas , one of the twelve , called Didymus , was not with them when Jesus came . * The other disciples therefore said unto him , We have seen the Lord . But he said unto 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 . * 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 unto you . * 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 . * And Thomas answered and said unto him , My Lord and my God . * Jesus saith unto him , Thomas , because thou hast seen me , thou hast believed : blessed are they that have not seen , and yet have believed . * And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples , which are not written in this book : * But these are written , that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ , the Son of God ; and that believing ye might have life through his name . * After these things Jesus shewed himself again to the disciples at the sea of Tiberias ; and on this wise shewed he himself . * There were together Simon Peter , and Thomas called Didymus , and Nathanael of Cana in Galilee , and the sons of Zebedee , and two other of his disciples . * Simon Peter saith unto them , I go a fishing . They say unto him , We also go with thee . They went forth , and entered into a ship immediately ; and that night they caught nothing . * But when the morning was now come , Jesus stood on the shore : but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus . * Then Jesus saith unto them , Children , have ye any meat ? They answered him , No . * And he said unto them , Cast the net on the right side of the ship , and ye shall find . They cast therefore , and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes . * Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter , It is the Lord . Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord , he girt his fisher 's coat unto him , (for he was naked ,) and did cast himself into the sea . * And the other disciples came in a little ship ; (for they were not far from land , but as it were two hundred cubits ,) dragging the net with fishes . * As soon then as they were come to land , they saw a fire of coals there , and fish laid thereon , and bread . * Jesus saith unto them , Bring of the fish which ye have now caught . * Simon Peter went up , and drew the net to land full of great fishes , an hundred and fifty and three : and for all there were so many , yet was not the net broken . * Jesus saith unto them , Come and dine . And none of the disciples durst ask him , Who art thou ? knowing that it was the Lord . * Jesus then cometh , and taketh bread , and giveth them , and fish likewise . * This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples , after that he was risen from the dead . * So when they had dined , Jesus saith to Simon Peter , Simon , son of Jonas , lovest thou me more than these ? He saith unto him , Yea , Lord ; thou knowest that I love thee . He saith unto him , Feed my lambs . * He saith to him again the second time , Simon , son of Jonas , lovest thou me ? He saith unto him , Yea , Lord ; thou knowest that I love thee . He saith unto him , Feed my sheep . * He saith unto him the third time , Simon , son of Jonas , lovest thou me ? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time , Lovest thou me ? And he said unto him , Lord , thou knowest all things ; thou knowest that I love thee . Jesus saith unto him , Feed my sheep . * Verily , verily , I say unto thee , When thou wast young , thou girdedst thyself , and walkedst whither thou wouldest : but when thou shalt be old , thou shalt stretch forth thy hands , and another shall gird thee , and carry thee whither thou wouldest not . * This spake he , signifying by what death he should glorify God . And when he had spoken this , he saith unto him , Follow me . * Then Peter , turning about , seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following ; which also leaned on his breast at supper , and said , Lord , which is he that betrayeth thee ? * Peter seeing him saith to Jesus , Lord , and what shall this man do ? * Jesus saith unto him , If I will that he tarry till I come , what is that to thee ? follow thou me . * Then went this saying abroad among the brethren , that that disciple should not die : yet Jesus said not unto him , He shall not die ; but , If I will that he tarry till I come , what is that to thee ? * This is the disciple which testifieth of these things , and wrote these things : and we know that his testimony is true . * And there are also many other things which Jesus did , the which , if they should be written every one , I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written . Amen .
