Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and {to} my God, and your God.

Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and {that} he had spoken these things unto her.

Then the same day at evening, being the first {day} of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace {be} unto you.

And when he had so said, he shewed unto them {his} hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
