John 20:
11-18
"Mary stayed outside
the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb and
saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head, and one
at the feet where the body of Jesus had been.
And they said to her, 'Woman,
why are you weeping?' She said to them, 'They have taken my Lord,
and I don't know where they have laid Him.'
When she had said this
she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus.
Jesus said to her, 'Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking
for?' She thought it was the gardener and said to Him, 'Sir, if
you have carried Him away, tell me where you laid Him, and I will
take Him.'
Jesus said to her, 'Mary!'
She turned and said to Him 'Rabbouni,' which means Teacher. Jesus
said to her, 'Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended
to the father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I am going
to my Father and your father, to my God and your God.'
Mary of Magdala went and
announced to the disciples,
'I
have seen the Lord!'
