John 20:16–23
16 Jesus said to her, m“Mary!”
She turned and said to 3Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).
17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet nascended to My Father; but go to oMy brethren and say to them, p‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to qMy God and your God.’ ”
18 rMary Magdalene came and told the 4disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.
Christ Appears to the Disciples (Thomas Absent)
19 sThen, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were 5assembled, for tfear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, u“Peace be with you.” 20 When He had said this, He vshowed them His hands and His side. wThen the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord.
21 So Jesus said to them again, “Peace to you! xAs the Father has sent Me, I also send you.” 22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit. 23 yIf you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.”
