John 20:12-25 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

12. And she saw two Angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had been placed, one at the head, and one at the feet.

13. They say 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 placed him."

14. When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus.

15. Jesus said to her: "Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you seeking?" Considering that it was the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have moved him, tell me where you have placed him, and I will take him away."

16. Jesus said to her, "Mary!" And turning, she said to him, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).

17. Jesus said to her: "Do not touch 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 to your Father, to my God and to your God.' "

18. Mary Magdalene went, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord, and these are the things that he said to me."

19. Then, when it was late on the same day, on the first of the Sabbaths, and the doors were closed where the disciples were gathered, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and he said to them: "Peace to you."

20. And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and side. And the disciples were gladdened when they saw the Lord.

21. Therefore, he said to them again: "Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you."

22. When he had said this, he breathed on them. And he said to them: "Receive the Holy Spirit.

23. Those whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them, and those whose sins you shall retain, they are retained."

24. Now Thomas, one of the twelve, who is called the Twin, was not with them when Jesus arrived.

25. Therefore, the other disciples said to him, "We have seen the Lord." But he said to them, "Unless I will see in his hands the mark of the nails and place my finger into the place of the nails, and place my hand into his side, I will not believe."
