John 20:1-18

11Now on the first day of the week 2Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw 3the stone already removed from the tomb. 2So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other 4disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “5They have taken the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him.” 36So Peter and the other disciple left, 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 he 7stooped to look in, and saw the 8linen wrappings lying there; however he did not go in. 6So Simon Peter also came, following him, and he entered the tomb; and he looked at the linen wrappings lying there, 7and 9the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the 10linen wrappings but folded up in a place by itself. 8So the other disciple who 11had first come to the tomb also entered then, and he saw and believed. 9For 12they did not yet understand the Scripture, 13that He must rise from the dead. 10So the disciples went away again 14to their own homes.

1115But Mary was standing outside the tomb, weeping; so as she wept, she 16stooped to look into the tomb; 12and she saw 17two 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, “18Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because 19they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they put Him.” 14When she had said this, she turned around and 20saw Jesus standing there, and yet she 21did not know that it was Jesus. 15Jesus said to her, “22Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?” Thinking that He was the gardener, she said to Him, “Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will take Him away.” 16Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to Him 23in 24Hebrew, “25Rabboni!” (which means, Teacher). 17Jesus said to her, “Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to 26My brothers and say to them, ‘I am 27ascending to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.’” 1828Mary Magdalene came and 29announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her.
