35And he that has seen has borne witness, and his witness is true, and he knows that he says what is true, that ye also might believe. 36For these things came to pass, that the scripture might be fulfilled: A bone of him shall not be broken. 37And again another scripture says: They shall look on him whom they pierced.
38And after this, Joseph from Arimathæa, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took away the body of Jesus. 39And there came also Nicodemus, who at the first came to Jesus by night, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight. 40They took therefore the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices, as is the custom of the Jews to prepare for burial.
41And in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein no one was yet laid. 42There they laid Jesus therefore, on account of the preparation of the Jews, because the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
XX. And on the first day of the week Mary the Magdalene comes early, while it is yet dark, to the sepulchre, and sees the stone taken away out of the sepulchre. 2She runs therefore and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and says to them: They took away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they laid him.
3Peter therefore went forth, and the other disciple, and they went to the sepulchre. 4And the two ran together; and the other disciple outran Peter, and came first to the sepulchre. 5And stooping down he sees the linen cloths lying; yet he went not in. 6Then comes Simon Peter following him; and he went into the sepulchre, and sees the linen cloths lying, 7and the napkin that was about his head not lying with the linen cloths, but wrapped together in a place by itself. 8Then therefore the other disciple, who came first to the sepulchre, went in also; and he saw, and believed. 9For not even yet did they know the scripture, that he must rise from the dead.
10The disciples therefore went away again to their own home. 11And Mary was standing by the sepulchre without, weeping. So, as she wept, she stooped clown into the sepulchre, 12and beholds two angels in white, sitting the one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus lay. 13And they say to her: Woman, why weepest thou? She says to them: Because they took away my Lord, and I know not where they laid him.
14Having said this, she turned back and beholds Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus. 15Jesus says to her: Woman, why weepest thou? Whom dost thou seek? She, supposing that it was the gardener, says to him: Sir, if thou didst bear him hence, tell me where thou laidest him, and I will take him away. 16Jesus says to her: Mary! Turning, she says to him in Hebrew: Rabboni! (which is to say, Teacher!) 17Jesus says to her: Touch me not; for I have not yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brethren, and say to them: I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.
18Mary the Magdalene comes bringing word to the disciples, that she has seen the Lord, and that he spoke these things to her.
19When therefore it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, the doors having been shut, where the disciples were assembled, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst; and he says to them: Peace be to you. 20And having said this, he showed them his hands and his side. The disciples rejoiced therefore, when they saw the Lord.
21Jesus therefore said to them again: Peace be to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you. 22And having said this, he breathed on them, and says to them: Receive the Holy Spirit. 23Whosesoever sins ye remit, they are remitted to them; and whosesoever ye retain, they are retained.
