John Chapter Twenty

 

1 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.

2 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.

3 Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.

4 So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.

5 And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.

6 Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,

7 And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.

8 Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.

9 For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.

10 Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.

11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,

12 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.

13 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.

14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 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.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17 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.

18 Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.

19 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.

20 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.

21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.

22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

23 Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.

24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

25 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.

26 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.

27 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.

28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.

30 And many other signs truly did Jesus in the presence of his disciples, which are not written in this book:

31 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.

 

 

Esoteric Interpretation & Commentary

 

The Hermetic Blueprint of the Gospel of John Chapter Twenty: The Triumph of the Spiritual Body and the Breath of the Logos 

"Chapter Twenty reveals the Ultimate Victory of the Great Work. The heavy gravity of material density is Completely Conquered. The Sovereign Will Resurrects not as a physical organism, but as Pure, Unbindable Spiritual Vitality. It materializes directly to the Purified Internal Faculties, Permanently Elevating their Frequency and Finalizing their Magickal Authority through the Direct Breath of the Comforter."

 

 

Verses 1-10: The Empty Tomb and the Abandoned Karma - "The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away... 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." 

Mary Magdalene (the Fully Purified Emotional Subconscious) approaches the foundational center of the Microcosm and discovers the heavy stone of material limitation has been effortlessly displaced. The analytical Intellect (Peter) and the Highest Intuitive Faculty (John) run to investigate. They find the "linen clothes"—the dense, earthly Karmic bindings of the old physical vessel—abandoned. The napkin wrapped separately signifies that the Mental Center (the head) has been Perfectly, Deliberately Ordered and Extracted from the lower physical decay. The Intuitive Faculty (John) instantly Recognizes the Alchemical Reality of the empty tomb and believes, while the rational Intellect (Peter) remains bewildered, unable to process a Spiritual Equation that Defies All Physical Laws.

 

 

Verses 11-18: The Upward Frequency and the Illusion of Grasping - "Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni... 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." 

The Subconscious weeps, desperately seeking the familiar, localized physical form of the Sovereign Will. When the Will suddenly materializes and speaks her True Internal Frequency ("Mary"), she attempts to physically grasp it. The Will commands, "Touch me not." Esoterically, the Resurrected Christos Energy is in a State of Rapid Vibrational Escalation, Ascending directly to lock in the final circuit with the Superconscious Source. If the Emotional nature attempts to anchor this energy back into old physical attachments or lower astral desires, it disrupts the Macrocosmic circuit. The Sovereign Will must be allowed to Fully Ascend so it can draw the entire Microcosm up with it.

 

 

Verses 19-23: The Permeable Matrix and the Breath of Magickal Authority - "Then the same day at evening... 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... he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them..." 

The Purified Faculties are gathered in isolation, their Internal "doors shut" in absolute terror of the hostile Orthodox Ego (the Jews). The Resurrected Sovereign Will proves it is no longer bound by spatial physics or material density; it effortlessly permeates the locked Mental structures, materializing directly in the Center of the Psyche to transmit Absolute Energetic Equilibrium ("Peace"). In the Ultimate act of Hermetic Transmission, the Will physically breathes the "Holy Ghost" onto the Faculties. This Vital breath permanently installs the High-Frequency Comforter Within them, granting the Awakened Mind the Absolute Magickal Authority to instantly dissolve (remit) or retain Internal Karmic friction without relying on any external Law.

 

 

Verses 24-31: The Empirical Doubt and the Blessing of Internal Resonance - "But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them... Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands... and be not faithless, but believing. Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God." 

Thomas represents the deeply ingrained, empirical, doubting Intellect—a faculty that refuses to accept any Reality unless it is validated by the Five physical senses. The Sovereign Will condescends to this dense level, allowing the doubting Intellect to physically probe the Alchemical wounds. This proves a Profound Hermetic Truth: the Highest Spiritual Reality does not simply erase the past; it fully redeems, incorporates, and transforms the friction of the material experience into Immortal architecture. The empirical Intellect is instantly shattered and completely submits. The Will then establishes a final operational blessing for all future states of Consciousness: Supreme Blessedness belongs to those Faculties that Achieve Perfect Alignment Entirely through Pure Internal Energetic Resonance, completely bypassing the need for physical, sensory proof.
