John 20

11 But Mary stayed outside the tomb crying. As she was crying, she bent down and looked into the tomb. 12 She saw two angels in white, one sitting at the head and the other at the foot of where Jesus' body had been lying.

13 "Why are you crying?" they asked her.

She answered, "Because they’ve taken my Lord away, and I don’t know where they’ve put him." 14 After she’d said this, she turned round and saw Jesus standing there, but she didn’t realize it was Jesus.

15 "Why are you crying?" he asked her. "Who are you looking for?"

Assuming he was the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you’ve taken him away, tell me where you’ve put him so I can go and get him."

16 Jesus said to her, "Mary!"

She turned to him and said, "Rabboni," which means "Teacher" in Hebrew.

17 "Don’t hold onto me,"*20:17. Meaning "don’t detain me by holding me back." Jesus said to her, "for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them I am ascending to my Father and your Father, my God and your God." 18 So Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples, "I’ve seen the Lord," and she explained to them what he had said to her.
