John 20:11–18

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

^11aBut Mary was standing outside the tomb crying; and so, as she was crying, she ^bstooped to look into the tomb;

¹²and she ^*saw ^atwo angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying.

¹³And they ^*said to her, “^aWoman, why are you crying?” She ^*said to them, “Because ^bthey have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”

¹⁴When she had said this, she turned around and ^*asaw Jesus standing there, and ^bdid not know that it was Jesus.

¹⁵Jesus ^*said to her, “^aWoman, why are you crying? Whom are you seeking?” Thinking Him to be the gardener, she ^*said to Him, “Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away.”

¹⁶Jesus ^*said to her, “Mary!” She turned and ^*said to Him ^ain ¹Hebrew, “^bRabboni!” (which means, Teacher).

¹⁷Jesus ^*said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to ^aMy brothers and say to them, ‘I ^bascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’”

^18aMary Magdalene ^*came, ^bannouncing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.
