John 20

Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And *[Mark 16:5] she saw *Luke 24:4two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, *ver. 15;[ch. 2:4] "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, *ver. 2"They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him." 14 Having said this, she turned around and *Mark 16:9;[Matt. 28:9] saw Jesus standing, *ch. 21:4;Luke 24:16,31but she did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, *ver. 13"Woman, why are you weeping? *ch. 1:38;18:4,7Whom are you seeking?" Supposing him to be *[ch. 19:41]the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away." 16 Jesus said to her, "Mary." She turned and said to him in Aramaic,*20:16 Or Hebrew*See ch. 1:38"Rabboni!" (which means Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to *See Matt. 28:10my brothers and say to them, *[Mark 16:19]; See ch. 14:12‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to *Matt. 27:46;Eph. 1:17;Rev. 3:2,12;[1 Cor. 3:23]my God and your God.’"18 Mary Magdalene *Mark 16:10;[Matt. 28:10;Luke 24:10,22,23]went and announced to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord"—and that he had said these things to her.
