18. Mary Magdalene went and said to the followers, “I saw the Lord!” And she told them what Jesus had said to her.
19. When it was evening on the first day of the week, Jesus’ followers were together. The doors were locked, because they were afraid of the elders. Then Jesus came and stood right in the middle of them and said, “Peace be with you.”
20. After he said this, he showed them his hands and his side. His followers were thrilled when they saw the Lord.
21. Then Jesus said again, “Peace be with you. As the Father sent me, I now send you.”
