John 20:15-17

New Testament for Everyone

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

She guessed he must be the gardener.

“Sir,” she said, “if you’ve carried him off somewhere, tell me where you’ve put him, and I will take him away.”

¹⁶ “Mary!” said Jesus.

She turned and spoke in Aramaic.

“Rabbouni!” she said (which means “Teacher”).

¹⁷ “Don’t cling to me,” said Jesus. “I haven’t yet gone up to the father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I’m going up to my father and your father—to my God and your God.’ ”
