John 20:2-18

2So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other 1disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “2They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.” 33So Peter and the other disciple went forth, and they were going to the tomb. 4The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first; 5and 4stooping and looking in, he saw the 5linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in. 6And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there, 7and 6the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the 7linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself. 8So the other disciple who 8had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed. 9For as yet 9they did not understand the Scripture, 10that He must rise again from the dead. 10So the disciples went away again 11to their own homes.

1112But Mary was standing outside the tomb weeping; and so, as she wept, she 13stooped and looked into the tomb; 12and she saw 14two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had been lying. 13And they said to her, “15Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because 16they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.” 14When she had said this, she turned around and 17saw Jesus standing there, and 18did not know that it was Jesus. 15Jesus said to her, “19Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Supposing Him to be 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.” 16Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him 20in 21Hebrew, “22Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher). 17Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to 23My brethren and say to them, ‘I 24ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’” 1825Mary Magdalene came, 26announcing to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.
