John 20:11–18

Christ Appears to Mary Magdalene

^11jBut Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. ¹²And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. ¹³Then they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?”

She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.”

^14kNow when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and ^ldid not know that it was Jesus. ¹⁵Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?”

She, supposing Him to be the gardener, 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, ^m“Mary!”

She turned and said to ³Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).

¹⁷Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ⁿascended to My Father; but go to ^oMy brethren and say to them, ^p‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to ^qMy God and your God.’ ”

^18rMary Magdalene came and told the ⁴disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.
