11 … And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb 12 and
saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and
one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been. 13 And
they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said
to them, "They have taken my Lord, and I don't know where
they laid him." 14 When she had said this, she turned
around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was
Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you
weeping? Whom are you looking for?" She thought it was
the gardener and said to him, "Sir, if you carried him away,
tell me where you laid him, and I will take him." 16 Jesus
said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to him in Hebrew,
"Rabbouni," which means Teacher. 17 Jesus said to her,
"Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the
Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am going to
my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" 18
Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples, "I
have seen the Lord," and what he told her. 19 On the
evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were
locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews,
Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them,
"Peace be with you." 20 When he had said this, he showed
them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced when
they saw the Lord. 21 (Jesus) said to them again, "Peace
be with you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you." 22
And when he had said this, he breathed on them and said
to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 Whose sins you
forgive are forgiven them, and whose sins you retain are
retained."
