John 20:8-23

⁸So then the other disciple went in too, the one who got to the tomb first; and he saw and believed.

⁹(For they did not yet know the Scripture, that He had to rise from among the dead.)

¹⁰Then the disciples went back home.

¹¹Well Mary stood outside at the tomb, crying. Then, while she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.

¹²And she sees two angels in white, sitting one at the head and one at the feet of where the body of Jesus had lain.

¹³And they say to her, “Woman, why are you crying?” She says to them, “Because they removed my Lord, and I don't know where they put Him.”

¹⁴And upon saying this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, yet did not know that it was Jesus.

¹⁵Jesus says to her: “Woman, why are you crying? Whom are you seeking?” She, supposing that He was the gardener, says to Him, “Sir, if you carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will remove Him.”

¹⁶Jesus says to her, “Mary!” Turning she says to Him, “Raboni!” (which means ‘Teacher’).

¹⁷Jesus says to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father—my God and your God.’ ”

¹⁸Mary Magdalene goes to the disciples, reporting that she had seen the Lord and He had said these things to her.

¹⁹Then at evening on that first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle, and He says to them, “Peace to you!”

²⁰And upon saying this He showed them His hands and His side. Well, the disciples were overjoyed when they saw the Lord!

²¹So Jesus said to them again: “Peace to you! Just as the Father sent me, I also send you.”

²²Upon saying this He breathed on them and said: “Receive Holy Spirit!

²³To whomever you forgive the sins, they are forgiven to them; to whomever you retain, they have been retained.”
