Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And (A)she saw (B)two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, (C)“Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, (D)“They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and (E)saw Jesus standing, (F)but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, (G)“Woman, why are you weeping? (H)Whom are you seeking?” Supposing him to be (I)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.” 16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic,[a] (J)“Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to (K)my brothers and say to them, (L)‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to (M)my God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene (N)went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her.

  1. John 20:16 Or Hebrew

25 And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26 (A)Was it not necessary that (B)the Christ should suffer these things and enter into (C)his glory?” 27 And (D)beginning with (E)Moses and (F)all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself.

28 So they drew near to the village to which they were going. (G)He acted as if he were going farther, 29 but they urged him strongly, saying, “Stay with us, for it is toward evening and (H)the day is now far spent.” So he went in to stay with them. 30 When he was at table with them, he took the bread and (I)blessed and broke it and gave it to them. 31 (J)And their eyes were opened, and they recognized him. And (K)he vanished from their sight. 32 They said to each other, (L)“Did not our hearts burn within us while he talked to us on the road, while he (M)opened to us the Scriptures?”
