¥(2) to Mary Magdalene (John 20:11-17):
¥John 20:11 (NIV) but Mary stood outside the tomb crying.
As she wept, she bent over to look into the
tomb 12 and saw two angels in white, seated
where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. 13 They asked her, "Woman,
why are you crying?" "They have taken
my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they have put him." 14 At this, she
turned around and saw Jesus standing there,
but she did not realize that it was Jesus. 15 "Woman," he said, "why are you crying?
Who is it you are looking for?" Thinking
he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him,
and I will get him." 16 Jesus said to her,
"Mary." She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means
Teacher). 17 Jesus said, "Do not
hold on to me, for I have not yet returned to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them, `I
am returning to my Father and your
Father, to my God and your God.'"
