John 20:14-24

14 When she had said these things, she turned backward [she turned aback], and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15 Jesus saith to her, Woman, what weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She guessing that he was the gardener, saith to him, Sire, if thou hast taken him up, say to me, where thou hast laid him, and I shall take him away.
16 Jesus saith to her, Mary. She turned, and saith to him, Rabboni, that is to say, Master.
17 Jesus saith to her, Do not thou touch me, for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them, I ascend to my Father and to your Father, to my God and to your God [and say to them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God].
18 Mary Magdalene came, telling to the disciples, That I saw the Lord, and these things he said to me.
19 Therefore when it was even in that day [Therefore when eventide was in that day], [in] one of the sabbaths, and the gates were shut, where the disciples were gathered, for dread of the Jews, Jesus came, and stood in the middle of the disciples, and he saith to them, Peace to you [and said to them, Peace be to you].
20 And when he had said this, he showed to them [his] hands and side; therefore the disciples joyed, for the Lord was seen.
21 And he saith to them again, Peace to you; as the Father sent me, I send you. [Therefore he said to them again, Peace to you; as the Father hath sent me, and I send you.]
22 When he had said this, he blew on them, and said, Take ye the Holy Ghost;
23 whose sins ye forgive, those be forgiven to them [they be forgiven]; and whose sins ye withhold, those be withheld [they be withholden].
24 But Thomas, one of the twelve, that is said Didymus, was not with them, when Jesus came.
