Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord

11 But(A) Mary stood outside the tomb,(B) crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 She saw two angels(C) in white sitting where Jesus’s body(D) had been lying, one at the head and the other at the feet. 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, but she did not know it was Jesus.(F) 15 “Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it that you’re seeking?”

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

16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

Turning around, she said to him in Aramaic,[a] “Rabboni!”—which means “Teacher.”(G)

17 “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus told her, “since 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.
