11 But 20:11–18 Mk 16:9–11 Mary stood outside the tomb, 20:11 Jn 5:28 crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.
14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know it was Jesus. 20:14 Jn 21:4
16 Jesus said to her, "Mary."
Turning around, she said to him in Aramaic, 20:16 Or Hebrew"Rabboni! " — which means "Teacher." 20:16 Mk 4:38; Eph 4:11
17 "Don’t cling to me," Jesus told her, "since I have not yet ascended 20:17 Lk 24:51; Jn 3:13; 6:62; Ac 1:9–11; 2:33–34; Rm 10:6; Eph 1:20–21; 4:8; 1Pt 3:22to the Father. 20:17 Mt 5:16; 11:27; Jn 8:42But go to my brothers 20:17 Ac 9:30and tell them that I am ascending to my Father 20:17 Jn 14:12and your Father, to my God 20:17 Mt 27:46and your God."
18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord! " 20:18 Mk 16:10 And she told them what 20:18 Lit these things he had said to her.
