10. Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.
11. But Mary stood outside at the tomb weeping. As she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb,
12. and she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet.
13. 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 put Him.”
14. When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
15. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, “Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have put Him, and I will take Him away.”
16. Jesus said to her, “Mary.”She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher).
17. Jesus said to her, “Stop holding on to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father. But go to My brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’ ”
18. Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had said these things to her.
19. On the evening of that first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were assembled, 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 were then glad when they saw the Lord.
21. So Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As My Father has sent Me, even so I send you.”
22. When He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23. If you forgive the sins of anyone, they are forgiven them. If you retain the sins of anyone, they are retained.”
24. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called The Twin, was not with them when Jesus came.
25. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail prints in His hands, and put my finger in the nail prints, and put my hand in His side, I will not believe.”
26. After eight days His disciples were again inside with the doors shut, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came and stood among them, and said, “Peace be with you.”
27. Then He said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at My hands. Put your hand here and place it in My side. Do not be faithless, but believing.”
28. Thomas answered Him, “My Lord and my God!”
