John 20:14-18 ▼

14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know it was Jesus.

15 “Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it that you’re seeking? ” Supposing he was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you’ve carried him away, tell me where you’ve put him, and I will take him away.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.” Turning around, she said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni! ” —which means “Teacher.”

17 “Don’t cling to me,” Jesus told her, “since I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them that I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”

18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord! ” And she told them what he had said to her.
