IVangeli Elabhalwa NguJohane
20 Ngelanga lokuqala leviki, uMariya Magadalena wafika ethuneni ekuseni+ kusesemnyama, wabona ukuthi ilitshe lalisusiwe ethuneni.+ 2 Yikho wagijima waya kuSimoni Phetro lomunye umfundi, lowo owayethandwa nguJesu,+ wafika wathi kubo: “Sebeyithethe iNkosi bayisusa ethuneni,+ asazi ukuthi bayibeke ngaphi.”
3 UPhetro lomfundi lo basuka baya ethuneni. 4 Bagijima bobabili kodwa umfundi lowo wagijima watshiya uPhetro, wafika kuqala ethuneni. 5 Wakhothama walunguza phakathi, wasebona amalembu elineni ephansi+ kodwa kazange angene. 6 USimoni Phetro owayengemuva kwakhe wathi efika wangena ethuneni, wawabona amalembu elineni ephansi. 7 Ilembu elalikade lisekhanda lakhe lalingekho kwamanye amalembu kodwa laligoqiwe labekwa lodwa. 8 Umfundi owayefike kuqala ethuneni laye wangena, wabona futhi wakholwa. 9 Kodwa babengakawuzwisisi umbhalo othi kumele avuke kwabafileyo.+ 10 Abafundi basebesuka babuyela emizini yabo.
11 UMariya yena waqhubeka emi phandle duze kwethuna ekhala. Wakhothama elokhu ekhala, walunguza ethuneni 12 wabona izingilosi ezimbili+ ezazigqoke okumhlophe. Zazihlezi lapho isidumbu sikaJesu esasikade sikhona, enye ngasekhanda enye ngasenyaweni. 13 Zathi kuye: “Dadewethu ukhalelani?” Yena wathi: “Bathethe iNkosi yami, angazi ukuthi bayibeke ngaphi.” 14 Esetsho njalo watshibilika wabona uJesu emi khonapho, kodwa kananzelelanga ukuthi kwakunguye.+ 15 UJesu wathi kuye: “Dadewethu ukhalelani? Udinga bani?” UMariya wacabanga ukuthi ngumuntu osebenza ensimini, wathi kuye: “Mnumzana, nxa umthethe ngitshela ukuthi umbeke ngaphi ngiyemthatha.” 16 UJesu wasesithi: “Mariya!” Yena watshibilika wathi kuye ngesiHebheru: “Rabhoni!” (okutsho ukuthi, “Mfundisi!”) 17 UJesu wathi: “Yekela ukunginamathela ngoba angikayi kuBaba. Kodwa hamba uyetshela abafowethu+ uthi, ‘Ngiya kuBaba+ onguYihlo, loNkulunkulu wami+ onguNkulunkulu wenu.’” 18 UMariya Magadalena wasesiya kubafundi wafika wathi: “Ngiyibonile iNkosi!” Wabatshela lokuthi yayitheni kuye.+
19 Ngalelolanga ntambama, okwakulilanga lokuqala leviki, iminyango yalapho abafundi ababekhona yayikhiyiwe njengoba babesesaba amaJuda. UJesu wafika wama phakathi kwabo wathi: “Ukuthula akube kini.”+ 20 Esetsho njalo wabatshengisa izandla zakhe lomhlubulo wakhe.+ Abafundi bathaba bebona iNkosi.+ 21 UJesu waphinda wathi kubo: “Ukuthula akube kini.+ Ngiyalithuma+ njengoba loBaba wangithuma.”+ 22 Esekutshilo lokhu wabavuthela wathi: “Yamukelani umoya ongcwele.+ 23 Nxa lingaxolela loba ngubani, izono zakhe ziyabe sezithethelelwe, kodwa loba ngubani elingamxoleliyo, izono zakhe azithethelelwa.”
24 Kodwa uTomasi+ omunye wabaliTshumi Lambili owayebizwa ngokuthi liphahla, wayengekho kwabanye ngesikhathi uJesu efika. 25 Abanye abafundi bamtshela bathi: “Siyibonile iNkosi!” Kodwa yena wathi: “Angisoze ngikukholwe lokho ngaphandle ngize ngibone amanxeba ezipikili ezandleni zakhe, ngihlome umunwe wami phakathi kwawo ngifake lesandla sami emhlubulweni wakhe.”+
26 Ngemva kwensuku ezingu-8 abafundi babesendlini, loTomasi laye ekhona. Lanxa iminyango yayikhiyiwe, uJesu wangena wama phakathi kwabo wathi: “Ukuthula akube kini.”+ 27 Wasesithi kuTomasi: “Hloma umunwe wakho lapha, khangela izandla zami ufake lesandla sakho lapha emhlubulweni wami. Yekela ukuthandabuza ukholwe.” 28 UTomasi wasesithi: “Nkosi yami, Nkulunkulu wami!” 29 UJesu wathi kuye: “Usukholwa yini njengoba usungibonile? Bayathokoza abakholwa bengazange babone.”
30 UJesu wenza lezinye izimangaliso ezinengi phambi kwabafundi bakhe, ezingazange zibhalwe encwadinimgoqwa le.+ 31 Kodwa lezi zabhalwa phansi ukuze likholwe ukuthi uJesu unguKhristu iNdodana kaNkulunkulu, besekusithi ngokholo lolu lithole ukuphila ngebizo lakhe.+
