Scriptures

New American Standard Bible (NASB)

John 20
¹³ And they *said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She *said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."
¹⁴ When she had said this, she turned around and *saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus.
¹⁵ Jesus *said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be 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 Hebrew, "Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).
¹⁷ Jesus *said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ’I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’"
¹⁸ Mary Magdalene *came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.
¹⁹ So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and *said to them, "Peace be with you."
²⁰ And when He had said this, He showed them both His hands and His side. The disciples then rejoiced when they saw the Lord.
²¹ So Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you; as 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 If you forgive the sins of any, their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the sins of any, they have been retained."
