This is how the RSTNE brings forth the account according to the Besorah of Yocanan (John) regarding the events that transpired during the Resurrection of Yahusha Messiah.
———
1 And then on one of the weekly Shabbats (Aviv 18), early in the morning, as darkness became light, [5271] came Miryam from Magdala to the tomb and saw the stone taken away from the tomb.
2 Then she ran and came to Shimon Kepha and to the other talmid, whom YAH-USHA loved and said to them, They have taken away YAH-USHA out of the tomb and we know not where they have laid Him.
3 Kepha therefore went forth and that other talmid and came to the tomb.
4 So they ran both together: and the other talmid did outrun Kepha and came first to the tomb.
5 And stooping down and looking in, he saw the linen clothes lying; yet he did not go in. [5272]
6 Then came Shimon Kepha following him and went into the tomb and saw the linen cloths lying,
7 And the cloth, that was around His head, not lying with the linen cloths, but folded up in a place by itself.
8 Then went in also that other talmid, who came first to the tomb and he saw and believed. [5273]
9 For as yet they knew not The Katuv, that He must rise again from the dead. [5274]
10 Then the talmidim went away again to their own home.
11 But Miryam stood outside at the tomb weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down and looked into the tomb,
12 And saw two heavenly malachim in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of YAH-USHA had lain.
13 And they said to her, Woman, why do you weep? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Master and I know not where they have laid Him.
14 And when she had said that, she turned herself back and saw YAH-USHA standing and knew not that it was YAH-USHA.
15 YAH-USHA said to her, Woman, why do you weep? Whom do you seek? She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, Sir, if You have taken Him away, tell me where You have laid Him and I will take Him away.
16 YAH-USHA said to her, Miryam! She turned herself and said to Him, Rabboni; which is to say, my Great Master.
17 YAH-USHA said to her, Touch Me not; for I AM not yet ascended to My Abba! [5275] But go to My Yisraelite brothers and say to them, I ascend to My Abba and your Abba; and to My Eloha and your Eloha. [5276]
18 Miryam from Magdala came and told the talmidim that she had seen YAH-USHA and that He had spoken these things to her.
19 And being therefore the evening of the same weekly Shabbat (Aviv 18), when the doors were shut where the talmidim were assembled for fear of the unbelieving Yahudim, came YAH-USHA and stood in their midst and said to them, Shalom Aleichem!
20 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His side. Then were the talmidim in gilah, when they saw YAH-USHA.
21 Then said YAH-USHA to them again, Shalom aleichem: as My Abba has sent Me, even so I send you.
22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them and said to them, Receive the Ruach Hakodesh:
23 If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; If you withhold forgiveness of a man’s sins they are kept. [5277]
24 But Toma, one of the twelve, called The Twin, was not with them when YAH-USHA came.
25 The other talmidim therefore said to him, We have seen YAH-USHA. But he said to 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 talmidim were inside and Toma with them: then came YAH-USHA, the doors being shut and stood in the midst and said, Shalom Aleichem!
27 Then He said to Toma, Reach here your finger and see My hands; and reach here your hand and thrust it into My side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28 And Toma answered and said to Him, My Master Yah and my Eloha.
29 YAH-USHA said to him, Toma, because you have seen Me, you have believed: blessed are they that have not seen and yet have believed. [5278]
30 And many other signs truly did YAH-USHA in the presence of His talmidim, which are not written in this scroll:
31 But these are written; that you might believe that YAH-USHA is The Moshiach, The Son of YHUH; and that by believing you might have chayim through His Name.

Study Notes:
[5271] Just before dawn of the weekly Shabbat on Aviv 18. [5272] Because he was a priest and could not defile himself with the dead. That’s also the reason John the Beloved was well-known by the High Priest of Yisrael. [5273] Only after Peter became defiled and so John was not defiled, since contact with the dead had already been made. [5274] Isaiah 53:10-11 and Psalm 16:10. [5275] He had not yet ascended to offer his blood in the Most Set-Apart Place in the heavens and as such could not be ceremonially defiled by sinful flesh. [5276] Note that Messiah Himself has an Eloha and even after His ascension into heaven, He has The Father as His Eloha, as seen throughout the Book of Revelation. Regardless of the approach one takes, one is always left with the eternal truth of YAHUAH the Greater and YAHUAH the Lesser, being one for all eternity. [5277] One must be very careful here to understand this in the light of all of Scripture, including Messiah’s admonition to Yisrael to forgive all men 70 times 7. This declaration can be understood only in terms of evangelism and sharing the Good News (glad tidings) of eternal life in Messiah.When we proclaim as we are sent by YAHUAH and men respond to the Good News of Messiah, that person has been forgiven by us personally, in the sense that we were the ones delivering the message. Likewise, when we do not deliver the message of the only One by whom man can be saved, we do not allow for forgiveness to flow through us.
Thus in essence, we don’t forgive others their sins. This declaration is all about delivering the message and not about the establishment of a religious hierarchy that has power to send people to a second death.
