John 20

John 20:11

Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb

John 20:12

and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot.

John 20:13

They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

John 20:13 continued

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.” 

John 20:14

At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize that it was Jesus. 

John 20:15

He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

John 20:15 continued

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

John 20:16

Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

John 20:16 continued

She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

John 20:17

Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
