020:006 Simon Peter, however, also came, following him, and entered the tomb. There on the ground he saw the cloths; 020:007 and the towel, which had been placed over the face of Jesus, not lying with the cloths, but folded up and put by itself. 020:008 Then the other disciple, who had been the first to come to the tomb, also went in and saw and was convinced. 020:009 For until now they had not understood the inspired teaching, that He must rise again from among the dead. 020:010 Then they went away and returned home. 020:011 Meanwhile Mary remained standing near the tomb, weeping aloud. She did not enter the tomb, but as she wept she stooped and looked in, 020:012 and saw two angels clothed in white raiment, sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been. 020:013 They spoke to her. "Why are you weeping?" they asked. "Because," she replied, "they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him." 020:014 While she was speaking, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but did not recognize Him. 020:015 "Why are you weeping?" He asked; "who are you looking for?" She, supposing that He was the gardener, replied, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him and I will remove him." 020:016 "Mary!" said Jesus. She turned to Him. "Rabboni!" she cried in Hebrew: the word means `Teacher!' 020:017 "Do not cling to me," said Jesus, "for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But take this message to my brethren: `I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'" 020:018 Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples. "I have seen the Master," she said. And she told them that He had said these things to her. 020:019 On that same first day of the week, when it was evening and, for fear of the Jews, the doors of the house where the disciples were, were locked, Jesus came and stood in their midst, and said to them, "Peace be to you!" 020:020 Having said this He showed them His hands and also His side; and the disciples were filled with joy at seeing the Master. 020:021 A second time, therefore, He said to them, "Peace be to you! As the Father sent me, I also now send you." 020:022 Having said this He breathed upon them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. 020:023 If you remit the sins of any persons, they remain remitted to them. If you bind fast the sins of any, they remain bound." 020:024 Thomas, one of the twelve--surnamed `the Twin'--was not among them when Jesus came.
