John 20:15-24

English Standard Version

¹⁵ Jesus said to her, ^(A)“Woman, why are you weeping? ^(B)Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be ^(C)the gardener, she 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 in Aramaic,^{[a] (D)}“Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). ¹⁷ Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to ^(E)my brothers and say to them, ^(F)‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to ^(G)my God and your God.’” ¹⁸ Mary Magdalene ^(H)went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.

Jesus Appears to the Disciples

^19 (I)On the evening ^(J)of that day, the first day of the week, ^(K)the doors being locked where the disciples were ^(L)for fear of the Jews,^[b] Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, ^(M)“Peace be with you.” ²⁰ When he had said this, ^(N)he showed them his hands and his side. Then ^(O)the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. ²¹ Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As ^(P)the Father has sent me, ^(Q)even so I am sending you.” ²² And when he had said this, he ^(R)breathed on them and said to them, ^(S)“Receive the Holy Spirit. ^23 (T)If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven them; if you withhold forgiveness from any, it is withheld.”
