Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 (A)But Mary was standing outside the tomb crying; and so, as she was crying, she (B)stooped to look into the tomb; 12 and she *saw (C)two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying. 13 And they *said to her, “(D)Woman, why are you crying?” She *said to them, “Because (E)they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” 14 When she had said this, she turned around and *(F)saw Jesus standing there, and (G)did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus *said to her, (H)Woman, 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.” 16 Jesus *said to her, “Mary!” She turned and *said to Him (I)in [a]Hebrew, “(J)Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher). 17 Jesus *said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to (K)My brothers and say to them, ‘I (L)ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’” 18 (M)Mary Magdalene *came, (N)announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.

Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord

11 But(A) Mary stood outside facing the tomb,(B) crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 She saw two angels(C) in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where Jesus’ body(D) had been lying. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“Because they’ve taken away my Lord,”(E) she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.(F)

15 “Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Supposing He was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you’ve removed Him, tell me where you’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.”

16 Jesus said, “Mary.”

Turning around, she said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!”[a]—which means “Teacher.”(G)

17 “Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended(H) to the Father.(I) But go to My brothers(J) and tell them that I am ascending to My Father(K) and your Father—to My God(L) and your God.”

18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!”(M) And she told them what[b] He had said to her.
