John 20:11-23

111But MaryG3137 was standingG2476 outsideG1854 the tombG3419, weepingG2799; soG3767 as she weptG2799, she 2stoopedG3879 toG3879 lookG3879 into the tombG3419; 12and she sawG2334 3twoG1417 angelsG32 in whiteG3022 sittingG2516, oneG1520 at the headG2776 and oneG1520 at the feetG4228, whereG3699 the bodyG4983 of JesusG2424 had been lyingG2749. 13And they saidG3004 to her, “4WomanG1135, whyG5101 are you weepingG2799?” She saidG3004 to them, “BecauseG3754 5they have takenG142 awayG142 my LordG2962, and I do not knowG3609 whereG4226 they putG5087 Him.” 14When she had saidG3004 thisG3778, she turnedG4762 aroundG3694 and 6sawG2334 JesusG2424 standingG2476 there, and yet she 7did not knowG3609 that it was JesusG2424. 15JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “8WomanG1135, whyG5101 are you weepingG2799? WhomG5101 are you seekingG2212?” ThinkingG1380 that He was the gardenerG2780, she saidG3004 to Him, “SirG2962, ifG1487 you have carriedG941 Him awayG941, tellG3004 me whereG4226 you putG5087 Him, and I will takeG142 Him awayG142.” 16JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “MaryG3137!” She turnedG4762 and saidG3004 to Him 9in 10HebrewG1447, “11RabboniG4462!” (whichG3739 meansG3004, TeacherG1320). 17JesusG2424 saidG3004 to her, “StopG3361 clingingG681 to Me, for I have not yetG3768 ascendedG305 to the FatherG3962; but goG4198 to 12My brothersG80 and sayG3004 to them, ‘I am 13ascendingG305 to My FatherG3962 and your FatherG3962, and My GodG2316 and your GodG2316.’” 1814MaryG3137 MagdaleneG3094 cameG2064 and 15announcedG31 to the disciplesG3101, “I have seenG3708 the LordG2962,” and that He had saidG3004 theseG3778 thingsG3778 to her.

19NowG3767 when it was eveningG3798 on that dayG2250, the firstG1520 day of the weekG4521, and when the doorsG2374 were 16shutG2808 whereG3699 the disciplesG3101 were together dueG1223 to 17fearG5401 of the 18JewsG2453, JesusG2424 cameG2064 and stoodG2476 in their midstG3319, and saidG3004 to them, “19PeaceG1515 be to you.” 20And when He had saidG3004 thisG3778, 20He showedG1166 them bothG2532 His handsG5495 and His sideG4125. The disciplesG3101 thenG3767 21rejoicedG5463 when they sawG3708 the LordG2962. 21SoG3767 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to them againG3825, “22PeaceG1515 be to you; 23justG2531 asG2531 the FatherG3962 has sentG649 Me, I alsoG2532 sendG3992 you.” 22And when He had saidG3004 thisG3778, He breathedG1720 onG1720 them and saidG3004 to them, “ReceiveG2983 the HolyG40 SpiritG4151. 2324IfG302 you forgiveG863 the sinsG266 of anyG5100, their sins 25have been forgivenG863 them; ifG302 you retainG2902 the sins of anyG5100, they have been retainedG2902.”
