Behold Your Mother

^25 (A)Now there stood by the cross of Jesus His mother, and His mother’s sister, Mary the wife of ^(B)Clopas, and Mary Magdalene.

^49 (A)But all His acquaintances, and the women who followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance, watching these things.

⁵⁵ And many women ^(A)who followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to Him, were there looking on from afar, ^56 (B)among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and ^[a]Joses, and the mother of Zebedee’s sons.

Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord

^11 (A)But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb. ¹² And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. ¹³ Then 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.”

^14 (B)Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and ^(C)did not know that it was Jesus. ¹⁵ Jesus 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.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, ^(D)“Mary!”

She turned and said to ^[a]Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher).

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ^(E)ascended to My Father; but go to ^(F)My brethren and say to them, ^(G)‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to ^(H)My God and your God.’ ”

^18 (I)Mary Magdalene came and told the ^[b]disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.

The Empty Tomb^(A)

20 Now the ^(B)first day of the week Mary Magdalene went to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the ^(C)stone had been taken away from the tomb.

^40 (A)There were also women looking on ^(B)from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the Less and of Joses, and Salome, ⁴¹ who also ^(C)followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

¹⁸ Then the one ^(A)whose name was Cleopas answered and said to Him, “Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?”

² and ^(A)certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and ^[a]infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, ^(B)out of whom had come seven demons,

³⁵ (yes, ^(A)a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
