John 20:11-23

11But Miriam stood outside the tomb weeping. As she was weeping, she bent down to look into the tomb.

12She sees two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where Yeshua’s body had been lying.

13“Woman, why are you crying?” they say to her. She says to them, “Because they took away my Master, and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.”

14After she said these things, she turned around. And she sees Yeshua standing there. Yet she didn’t know that it was Yeshua.

15Yeshua says to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” Thinking He’s the gardener, she says to Him, “Sir, if You’ve carried Him away, tell me where You’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.”

16Yeshua says to her, “Miriam!” Turning around, she says to Him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).

17Yeshua says to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet gone up to the Father. Go to My brothers and tell them, ‘I am going up to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

18Miriam from Magdala comes, announcing to the disciples, “I’ve seen the Lord,” and what He had said to her.

19It was evening on that day, the first of the week. When the doors were locked where the disciples were, for fear of the Judean leaders, Yeshua came and stood in their midst! And He said to them, “Shalom aleichem!”

20After He said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

21Yeshua said to them again, “Shalom aleichem! As the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”

22And after He said this, He breathed on them. And He said to them, “Receive the Ruach ha-Kodesh!

23If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; but if you hold back, they are held back.”
