Yeshua First Words After His Resurrection

John 20:15-16

“Woman, why are you weeping. Who is it you are looking for? Miriam.” She turns around…YESHUA says to her, “Stop clinging to ME, for I have not yet gone up to the AVI (FATHER.) Miriam from Magdala comes, announcing to the disciples, “I’ve seen the ADONAI,” and what HE had said to her.” It was evening on that day, the first of the week. When the doors were locked where the disciples were, for fear of the Judean leaders, YESHUA came and stood in their midst! And HE said to them, “Shalom aleichem!” After HE said this, HE showed them HIS hands and HIS side. Then the disciples rejoiced when they saw the ADONAI. YESHUA said to them again, “Shalom aleichem! As the FATHER has sent ME, I also send you.” And after HE said this, HE breathed on them. And HE said to them, “Receive the Ruach ha-Kodesh! “If you forgive anyone’s sins, they are forgiven; but if you hold back, they are held back.” One of the Twelve, Thomas called the Twin, was not with them when YESHUA came.  The other disciples were saying to him, “We’ve seen the ADONAI!” But he replied to them, “Unless I see the nail prints in HIS hands, and put my finger into the mark of the nails, and put my hand in HIS side, I will never believe!” Eight days later the disciples were again inside, and Thomas was with them. Yeshua comes, despite the locked doors. HE stood in their midst and said, “Shalom aleichem!” Then HE said to Thomas, “Put your finger here, and look at MY hands. Reach out your hand and put it into MY side. Stop doubting and believe!” Thomas answered and said to HIM, “My ADONAI and my ELOHIM!” Yeshua said to Him, “Because you have seen ME, you have believed? Blessed are the ones who have not seen and yet have believed. YESHUA performed many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book. But these things have been written so that you may believe that Yeshua is  Mashiach Ben-Elohim, and that by believing, you may have life in HIS name.
