John 20

Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord

11 *Mark 16:5But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down andlooked into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain. 13 Then they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?"

She said to them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him."

14 *Matt. 28:9; Mark 16:9Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and *(Luke 24:16, 31); John 21:4did not know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?"

She, supposing Him to be the gardener, 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, *John 10:3"Mary!"

She turned and said to Him, "Rabboni!" (which is to say, Teacher).

17 Jesus said to her, "Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet *Mark 16:19; Luke 24:5; Acts 1:9; 2:34–36; Eph. 4:8–10; Heb. 4:14ascended to My Father; but go to *Ps. 22:22; Matt. 18:10; Rom. 8:29; Heb. 2:11My brethren and say to them, *John 16:28; 17:11‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to*Eph. 1:17My God and your God.’ "

18 *Matt. 28:10; Luke 24:10, 23Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that He had spoken these things to her.
