Jesus said to them again, "Peace to you. As the Father has sent me, I also send you. Because you have seen me, you have believed. Blessed are those who have not seen and yet believe." But these are written (signs) so that you may believe that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

The women who followed Jesus went to the tomb to complete the burial rituals, but Jesus' body was gone. Jesus asks, " Who is it you are looking for?" Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him." Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!"

When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, "It is finished." Then bowing his head, he gave up his spirit.

After this, when Jesus knew that everything was now finished that the Scripture might be fulfilled, he said, “I’m thirsty.” A jar full of sour wine was sitting there; so they fixed a sponge full of sour wine on a hyssop branch and held it up to his mouth.

Standing by the cross of Jesus were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, here is your son.” Then he said to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” And from that hour the disciple took her into his home.
