Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene(A)

11 Meanwhile, Mary[a] stood crying outside the tomb. As she cried, she bent over and looked[b] into the tomb. 12 She saw two angels in white clothes who were sitting down, one at the head and the other at the foot of the place where Jesus’ body had been lying. 13 They asked her, “Lady,[c] why are you crying?”

She told them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have put him.”

14 After she had said this, she turned around and noticed Jesus standing there, without realizing that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus asked her, “Dear lady,[d] why are you crying? Who are you looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she told him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away.”

16 Jesus told her, “Mary!”

She turned around and told him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” (which means “Teacher”).

17 Jesus told her, “Don’t hold on to me, because I haven’t yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I’m ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

18 So Mary Magdalene[e] went and announced to the disciples, “I’ve seen the Lord!” She also told them what he had told her.
