John 20:3–17

³Then Peter and the other disciple went out and were going to the tomb. ⁴And the two were running together, and the other disciple ran ahead, faster than Peter, and came to the tomb first. ⁵And bending over to look, he saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, though he did not go in. ⁶Then Simon Peter also came following him, and he went into the tomb and saw the strips of linen cloth lying there, ⁷and the facecloth that was on his head—not lying with the strips of linen cloth, but folded up separately in one place. ⁸So then the other disciple who had come to the tomb first also went in, and he saw and believed. ⁹(For they did not yet know the scripture that it was necessary for him to rise from the dead.)

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

¹⁰Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.^{* 11}But Mary stood outside at the tomb, weeping. Then, while she was weeping, she bent over to look into the tomb, ¹²and she saw two angels in white, seated one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been lying. ¹³And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put him!” ¹⁴When she^* had said these things, she turned around^a and saw Jesus standing there, and she did not know that it was Jesus.

¹⁵Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She thought that it was the gardener, and^* said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.” ¹⁶Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned around and^* said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni” (which means “Teacher”). ¹⁷Jesus said to her, “Do not touch me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God.’ ”
