18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.

19 It was the first day of the week, and that very evening, while the disciples were together with the doors locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them. “Peace be with you!” He said to them.
