13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and 'knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

16 Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

17 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.

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

And he commanded us to preach unto the people, and to testify that it is he which was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick and dead. 1 TIM. ii. 7: Whereunto I am ordained a preacher and an apostle,-a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 2 TIM. ii. 2: The things which thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.

25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print' of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will

not believe.

26 ¶ And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.

27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?

Now abideth faith, hope, charity. 2 COR. v. 7: We walk by faith, not by sight. HEB. xi. 1, 27: Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
