12. and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13. They told her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”
14. When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.
15. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”
16. Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”
17. Jesus said to her, “Don’t hold me, for I haven’t 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. When therefore it was evening, on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were locked where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the middle, and said to them, “Peace be to you.”
20. When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples therefore were glad when they saw the Lord.
21. Jesus therefore said to them again, “Peace be to you. As the 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 anyone’s sins, they have been forgiven them. If you retain anyone’s sins, they have been retained.”
24. But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, wasn’t with them when Jesus came.
25. The other disciples therefore said to him, “We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them, “Unless I see in his hands the print of the nails, put my finger into the print of the nails, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”
