John 20

On the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene finds the tomb empty; Peter and John see the linen cloths and the empty tomb. The risen Jesus appears to the weeping Mary, calling her by name, then to the disciples, showing His hands and side, breathing on them and saying, “Receive the Holy Spirit.” A week later He appears to doubting Thomas, who falls before Him, confessing, “My Lord and my God!” John states his purpose: these signs are written “so that you may believe... and that by believing you may have life in his name.”
