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.

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.
