John 20:11-23

11But Mary stood at the tomb weeping without. As therefore she wept, she stooped down into the tomb,

12and beholds two angels sitting in white [garments], one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13And they say to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14Having said these things she turned backward and beholds Jesus standing [there], and knew not that it was Jesus.

15Jesus says to her, Woman, why dost thou weep? Whom seekest thou? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him, Sir, if thou hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

16Jesus says to her, Mary. She, turning round, says to him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which means Teacher.

17Jesus says to her, Touch me not, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and [to] my 1God and your 2God.

18Mary of Magdala comes bringing word to the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and [that] he had said these things to her.

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

20And having said this, he shewed to them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, having seen the Lord.

21[Jesus] said therefore again to them, Peace [be] to you: as the Father sent me forth, I also send you.

22And having said this, he breathed into [them], and says to them, Receive [the] Holy Spirit:

23whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; whose soever [sins] ye retain, they are retained.
