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, ^(C)“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 ^(D)ascended to My Father; but go to ^(E)My brethren and say to them, ^(F)‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to ^(G)My God and your God.’ ”

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