Luther Bible 1545 (English)
was a vessel full of vinegar. And they filled a sponge with vinegar, and put it about hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
And when JEsus had taken the vinegar, he said, It is finished. And bowing his head, he passed away.
And the Jews, because it was the preparation day, that the dead bodies should not remain upon the cross through the sabbath, (for the sabbath day was great,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken down.
And the soldiers came, and brake the legs of the first, and of the other that was crossed with him.
And when they came to JEsu, seeing that he was already dead, they broke not his legs, 34. But one of the soldiers opened his side with a spear, and immediately there came out blood and water.
And he that hath seen it hath borne witness, and his witness is true; and he knoweth that he speaketh the truth, that ye also may believe.
For these things were done, that the scripture might be fulfilled: Ye shall not break his bones.
And again another scripture saith, They shall see which they have pricked.
After these things Pilate was asked of Joseph of Arimathea, which was a disciple of JESUS, yet secretly, for fear of the Jews, to take away the body of JEsu. And Pilate permitted it. And he came and took down the body of JEsu.
And there came also Nicodemus, which came before by night unto JEsu, bringing myrrh and aloes among them for an hundred pounds.
Then took they the body of JESUS, and bound it in linen cloths with spices, as the Jews are wont to bury.
And there was in the place where he was crucified a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no man was ever laid.
And there they laid JEsus for the Jews’ preparation, because the sepulchre was near.
(John)
Chapter 20
Christ’s resurrection revealed and confirmed in Judea.
Now on the sabbath day Mary Magdalene came early, while it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and saw that the stone was removed from the sepulchre.
And 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.
Then Peter and the other disciple went out, and came to the sepulchre.
And the two ran together, and the other disciple ran first, more quickly than Peter, and came first to the sepulchre,
And he looked in, and saw the lines laid: but he went not in.
Then Simon Peter came after him, and entered into the sepulchre, and saw the linen laid.
And the face-cloth, which was bound about Jesus’ head, was not laid with the linen, but was wrapped up by itself in a special place.
And the other disciple also, which came first to the sepulchre, went in, and saw, and believed.
For they knew not yet the scripture, that he should rise from the dead.
Then the disciples went together again.
And Mary stood before the sepulchre weeping without. And as she wept, she looked into the sepulchre.
And behold, two angels in white robes sitting, one at the head, and the other at the feet, when they had laid the body of JESUS.
And they said unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? And she saith unto them, They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
And when she had said this, she turned back, and saw JEsum standing, and knew not that it was JEsus.
Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou? She thinketh it is the gardener, and saith unto him, Lord, if thou hast carried him away, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will fetch him.
Jesus saith unto her, Mary. Then she turned and said unto him, Rabbuni, that is, Master.
Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not: for I am not yet ascended unto my Father. But go thy way to my brothers and say to them: I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God.
18 Mary Magdalene cometh, and saith unto the disciples: I have seen the Lord, and these things he said unto me.
And it came to pass in the evening of the same sabbath, when the disciples were gathered together, and the doors were shut for fear of the Jews, that JEsus came and stood in the midst, and saith unto them: Peace be unto you.
And when he had said this, he shewed them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, because they saw the Lord.
Then said JEsus unto them again: Peace be unto you. As the 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, which is called the twin, was not with them when Jesus came.
Then said the other disciples unto him, We have seen the Lord. And he said unto them: Except I see in his hands the marks of the nails, and put my finger into the marks of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it.
And again his disciples were there eight days, and Thomas with them. Then cometh Jesus, when the doors were shut, and entereth in the midst, and saith, Peace be unto you.
After this he saith unto Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and put 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, Because thou hast seen me, Thomas, thou hast believed. Blessed are they that see not, and yet believe.
And many other signs did JEsus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book.
Now these things are written, that ye might believe that JEsus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life in his name].
(John)
Chapter 21
Christ’s resurrection revealed in Galilee.
After these things Jesus manifested himself again unto the disciples by the sea of Tiberias. But he revealed himself thus.
There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas called Twin, and Nathanael of Cana Galilee, and the sons of Zebedee, and other two of his disciples.
Simon Peter saith unto them: I will go fishing. And they said unto him, We will go with thee.
And they went out, and entered into the ship straightway: and that night they caught nothing.
And when it was now morning, JEsus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was JEsus.
Jesus saith unto them: Children, have ye nothing to eat? They answered him, No.
And he said unto them: Cast the net to the right hand of the ship, and ye shall find. And they cast, and could not draw it for the multitude of fishes.
Then saith the disciple whom Jesus loved unto Peter, It is the LORD. And when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girded his shirt about him (for he was naked), and cast himself into the sea.
And the other disciples came in the ship, (for they were not far from the land, but about two hundred cubits,) and drew the net with the fishes.
And when they went out into the country, they saw coals laid, and fish laid up, and bread.
Say ye unto them, Jesus: Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.
And Simon Peter went in, and drew the net upon the land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three. And though they were so many, yet the net brake not.
Jesus saith unto them: Come and keep the supper. But none of the disciples might ask him, Who art thou? For they knew that it was the Lord.
Then cometh JESUS, and taketh the bread, and giveth them, and likewise the fishes.
Now this is the third time that JESUS was manifested unto his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.
And when they had made supper, Jesus saith unto Simon Peter, Simon Joanna, lovest thou me better than these have me? And he saith unto him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. saith he unto him, Feed my lambs.
And he saith unto him the second time, Simon Joanna, lovest thou me? And he saith unto him, Yea, Lord, thou knowest that I love thee. And he saith unto him, Feed my sheep.
And he saith unto him the third time, Simon Joanna, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved, because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? and 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 younger, 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 lead thee whither thou wouldest not.
And this said he, to signify with what death he would praise God. And when he had said this, he saith unto him, Follow me.
And Peter turned, and saw the disciple whom JEsus loved following, who also lay at his breast at supper, and said, Lord, who is he that betrayeth thee?
And when Peter saw it, he saith unto JESUS, Lord, what is this?
Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come,
