"Why are you crying?" they asked her. "They took my Lord," she said to them, "and I don't know where they have put him."
14
As she said this, she turned around and saw Yeshua standing there, but she didn't know it was he.
15
Yeshua said to her, "Lady, why are you crying? Whom are you looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you're the one who carried him away, just tell me where you put him; and I'll go and get him myself."
16
Yeshua said to her, "Miryam!" Turning, she cried out to him in Hebrew, "Rabbani!" (that is, "Teacher!")
17
"Stop holding onto me," Yeshua said to her, "because I haven't yet gone back to the Father. But go to my brothers, and tell them that I am going back to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God."

Miryam of Magdala went to the talmidim with the news that she had seen the Lord and that he had told her this.

In the evening that same day, the first day of the week, when the talmidim were gathered together behind locked doors out of fear of the Judeans, Yeshua came, stood in the middle and said, "Shalom aleikhem!"
20
Having greeted them, he showed them his hands and his side. The talmidim were overjoyed to see the Lord.
21
"Shalom aleikhem!" Yeshua repeated. "Just as the Father sent me, I myself am also sending you."
22
Having said this, he breathed on them and said to them, "Receive the Ruach HaKodesh!

If you forgive someone's sins, their sins are forgiven; if you hold them, they are held."
