John 20:15-17

Expanded Bible

¹⁵ Jesus asked her, “Woman, why are you ·crying [weeping]? Whom are you looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said to him, “·Did you take him away, sir? [^LIf you took him away, sir…] Tell me where you put him, and I will get him.”

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

Mary turned toward Jesus and said in the Hebrew [^CAramaic] language, “Rabboni [^Ca variant of the more common Rabbi].” (This means “Teacher.”)

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, “Don’t ·hold on to [cling to; or touch] me, because I have not yet ·gone up [ascended] to the Father. But go to my brothers [^Chis disciples] and tell them, ‘I am ·going back [ascending] to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
