Le tombeau vide
1 Now on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene went early, while it was still dark, to the tomb, and saw the stone 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, 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.Jésus se montre à Marie de Magdala
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 told 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.Jésus se montre à ses disciples
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 midst, 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."Jésus et Thomas
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, 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 midst, 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."Le but de ce livre
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. -

1 Τῇ δὲ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ ἔρχεται πρωῒ σκοτίας ἔτι οὔσης εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ βλέπει τὸν λίθον ἠρμένον ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου.2 τρέχει οὖν καὶ ἔρχεται πρὸς Σίμωνα Πέτρον καὶ πρὸς τὸν ἄλλον μαθητὴν ὃν ἐφίλει ὁ Ἰησοῦς, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Ἦραν τὸν κύριον ἐκ τοῦ μνημείου, καὶ οὐκ οἴδαμεν ποῦ ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.3 ἐξῆλθεν οὖν ὁ Πέτρος καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητής, καὶ ἤρχοντο εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον.4 ἔτρεχον δὲ οἱ δύο ὁμοῦ· καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς προέδραμεν τάχιον τοῦ Πέτρου καὶ ἦλθεν πρῶτος εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον,5 καὶ παρακύψας βλέπει κείμενα τὰ ὀθόνια, οὐ μέντοι εἰσῆλθεν.6 ἔρχεται οὖν καὶ Σίμων Πέτρος ἀκολουθῶν αὐτῷ, καὶ εἰσῆλθεν εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον· καὶ θεωρεῖ τὰ ὀθόνια κείμενα,7 καὶ τὸ σουδάριον, ὃ ἦν ἐπὶ τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτοῦ, οὐ μετὰ τῶν ὀθονίων κείμενον ἀλλὰ χωρὶς ἐντετυλιγμένον εἰς ἕνα τόπον·8 τότε οὖν εἰσῆλθεν καὶ ὁ ἄλλος μαθητὴς ὁ ἐλθὼν πρῶτος εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον, καὶ εἶδεν καὶ ἐπίστευσεν·9 οὐδέπω γὰρ ᾔδεισαν τὴν γραφὴν ὅτι δεῖ αὐτὸν ἐκ νεκρῶν ἀναστῆναι.10 ἀπῆλθον οὖν πάλιν πρὸς αὑτοὺς οἱ μαθηταί.Jésus se montre à Marie de Magdala
11 Μαρία δὲ εἱστήκει πρὸς τῷ μνημείῳ ἔξω κλαίουσα. ὡς οὖν ἔκλαιεν παρέκυψεν εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον,12 καὶ θεωρεῖ δύο ἀγγέλους ἐν λευκοῖς καθεζομένους, ἕνα πρὸς τῇ κεφαλῇ καὶ ἕνα πρὸς τοῖς ποσίν, ὅπου ἔκειτο τὸ σῶμα τοῦ Ἰησοῦ.13 καὶ λέγουσιν αὐτῇ ἐκεῖνοι· Γύναι, τί κλαίεις; λέγει αὐτοῖς ὅτι Ἦραν τὸν κύριόν μου, καὶ οὐκ οἶδα ποῦ ἔθηκαν αὐτόν.14 ταῦτα εἰποῦσα ἐστράφη εἰς τὰ ὀπίσω, καὶ θεωρεῖ τὸν Ἰησοῦν ἑστῶτα, καὶ οὐκ ᾔδει ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν.15 λέγει αὐτῇ Ἰησοῦς· Γύναι, τί κλαίεις; τίνα ζητεῖς; ἐκείνη δοκοῦσα ὅτι ὁ κηπουρός ἐστιν λέγει αὐτῷ· Κύριε, εἰ σὺ ἐβάστασας αὐτόν, εἰπέ μοι ποῦ ἔθηκας αὐτόν, κἀγὼ αὐτὸν ἀρῶ.16 λέγει αὐτῇ Ἰησοῦς· Μαριάμ. στραφεῖσα ἐκείνη λέγει αὐτῷ Ἑβραϊστί· Ραββουνι (ὃ λέγεται Διδάσκαλε).17 λέγει αὐτῇ Ἰησοῦς· Μή μου ἅπτου, οὔπω γὰρ ἀναβέβηκα πρὸς τὸν πατέρα· πορεύου δὲ πρὸς τοὺς ἀδελφούς μου καὶ εἰπὲ αὐτοῖς· Ἀναβαίνω πρὸς τὸν πατέρα μου καὶ πατέρα ὑμῶν καὶ θεόν μου καὶ θεὸν ὑμῶν.18 ἔρχεται Μαριὰμ ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ ἀγγέλλουσα τοῖς μαθηταῖς ὅτι Ἑώρακα τὸν κύριον καὶ ταῦτα εἶπεν αὐτῇ.Jésus se montre à ses disciples
19 Οὔσης οὖν ὀψίας τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ τῇ μιᾷ σαββάτων, καὶ τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων ὅπου ἦσαν οἱ μαθηταὶ διὰ τὸν φόβον τῶν Ἰουδαίων, ἦλθεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ μέσον, καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Εἰρήνη ὑμῖν.20 καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἔδειξεν τὰς χεῖρας καὶ τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῖς. ἐχάρησαν οὖν οἱ μαθηταὶ ἰδόντες τὸν κύριον.21 εἶπεν οὖν αὐτοῖς ὁ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν· Εἰρήνη ὑμῖν· καθὼς ἀπέσταλκέν με ὁ πατήρ, κἀγὼ πέμπω ὑμᾶς.22 καὶ τοῦτο εἰπὼν ἐνεφύσησεν καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Λάβετε πνεῦμα ἅγιον·23 ἄν τινων ἀφῆτε τὰς ἁμαρτίας ἀφέωνται αὐτοῖς· ἄν τινων κρατῆτε κεκράτηνται.Jésus et Thomas
24 Θωμᾶς δὲ εἷς ἐκ τῶν δώδεκα, ὁ λεγόμενος Δίδυμος, οὐκ ἦν μετ’ αὐτῶν ὅτε ἦλθεν Ἰησοῦς.25 ἔλεγον οὖν αὐτῷ οἱ ἄλλοι μαθηταί· Ἑωράκαμεν τὸν κύριον. ὁ δὲ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς· Ἐὰν μὴ ἴδω ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτοῦ τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω τὸν δάκτυλόν μου εἰς τὸν τύπον τῶν ἥλων καὶ βάλω μου τὴν χεῖρα εἰς τὴν πλευρὰν αὐτοῦ, οὐ μὴ πιστεύσω.26 Καὶ μεθ’ ἡμέρας ὀκτὼ πάλιν ἦσαν ἔσω οἱ μαθηταὶ αὐτοῦ καὶ Θωμᾶς μετ’ αὐτῶν. ἔρχεται ὁ Ἰησοῦς τῶν θυρῶν κεκλεισμένων, καὶ ἔστη εἰς τὸ μέσον καὶ εἶπεν· Εἰρήνη ὑμῖν.27 εἶτα λέγει τῷ Θωμᾷ· Φέρε τὸν δάκτυλόν σου ὧδε καὶ ἴδε τὰς χεῖράς μου, καὶ φέρε τὴν χεῖρά σου καὶ βάλε εἰς τὴν πλευράν μου, καὶ μὴ γίνου ἄπιστος ἀλλὰ πιστός.28 ἀπεκρίθη Θωμᾶς καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ὁ κύριός μου καὶ ὁ θεός μου.29 λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ὅτι ἑώρακάς με πεπίστευκας; μακάριοι οἱ μὴ ἰδόντες καὶ πιστεύσαντες.Le but de ce livre
30 Πολλὰ μὲν οὖν καὶ ἄλλα σημεῖα ἐποίησεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἐνώπιον τῶν μαθητῶν, ἃ οὐκ ἔστιν γεγραμμένα ἐν τῷ βιβλίῳ τούτῳ·31 ταῦτα δὲ γέγραπται ἵνα πιστεύητε ὅτι Ἰησοῦς ἐστιν ὁ χριστὸς ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ θεοῦ, καὶ ἵνα πιστεύοντες ζωὴν ἔχητε ἐν τῷ ὀνόματι αὐτοῦ.

Malgré le reproche affectueux que Jésus exprime dans ces paroles, nous ne croyons pas qu'il faille les prendre dans un sens interrogatif, comme si Jésus mettait en question la foi de ce disciple.
Non, cette foi, il la reconnaît, l'approuve et la confirme telle que Thomas vient de l'exprimer avec effusion de cœur.
Jésus emploie même le verbe au parfait, exprimant un acte de l'âme accompli et permanent. Et, malgré cela, il y a un léger blâme dans ces mots : Parce que tu m'as vu, ainsi que dans la seconde partie du verset.
Pourquoi ? est-ce que tous les autres disciples n'ont pas cru la résurrection de Jésus parce qu'ils l'ont vu ? Ou bien, en déclarant heureux ceux qui ont cru sans voir, Jésus entend-il que la foi puisse naître sans raison de croire ?
Non, mais Thomas s'était trouvé dans une situation particulière qui lui donnait toutes les raisons de croire. Dix de ses condisciples, dont il ne pouvait suspecter ni l'intelligence ni la bonne foi, lui avaient dit avec joie : Nous avons vu le Seigneur, (verset 25) et lui, récusant ce témoignage, avait exige une démonstration matérielle des sens.
C'est là ce qui était déraisonnable ; (verset 25, note) car c'était méconnaître et nier la valeur du témoignage, sur lequel pourtant reposent la plupart de nos connaissances et de nos convictions, même dans les choses de ce monde ; et combien plus dans les vérités religieuses qui doivent rattacher notre âme au Dieu invisible !
Voilà pourquoi Jésus pose ici pour son royaume ce grand principe : Heureux ceux qui n'ont pas vu et qui ont cru !
La foi est, en effet, un acte moral de la conscience et du cœur, indépendant des sens, tous les objets de la foi appartiennent au monde invisible, l'Eglise chrétienne, depuis dix-neuf siècles, croit en Jésus-Christ et en sa résurrection sur ce même témoignage apostolique que Thomas récusait. (Comparer 1Pierre 1.8)
Quiconque fait dépendre sa foi de la vue, des sens, ou du raisonnement, l'expose à une désolante instabilité, puisque "les choses visibles ne sont que pour un temps et que les invisibles seules sont éternelles." (2Corinthiens 4.18)
C'est pourquoi Jésus déclare heureux ceux qui croient en lui ; car la foi, en nous unissant à lui, nous met en possession des trésors de grâce, de paix, d'amour, de vie qui sont en lui et qui seuls constituent le vrai bonheur de l'âme humaine.
