John 20:11 — John 20:25

11 But Mary stood outside at the tomb weeping. Then as she wept, she stooped to look into the tomb

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

13 And they said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.

14 When she said these things, she turned backward and beheld Jesus standing there, yet she did not know that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? She, supposing that He was 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 in Hebrew, Rabboni! (which means Teacher).

17 Jesus said to her, Do not touch Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brothers and say to them, I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.

18 Mary the Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, I have seen the Lord, and that He had said these things to her.

19 When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and while the doors were shut where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst and said to them, Peace be to you.

20 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. The disciples therefore rejoiced at seeing the Lord.

21 Then Jesus said to them again, Peace be to you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.

22 And when He had said this, He breathed into them and said to them, Receive the Holy Spirit.

23 Whosoever sins you forgive, they are forgiven them; and whosoever sins you 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 to him, We have seen the Lord! But he said to them, Unless I see in His hands the mark of the nails and put my finger into the mark of the nails and put my hand into His side, I will by no means believe.
