Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord
11 But(A) Mary stood outside facing the tomb,(B) crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 She saw two angels(C) in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where Jesus’ body(D) had been lying. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?”
“Because they’ve taken away my Lord,”(E) she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.(F)
15 “Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”
Supposing He was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you’ve removed Him, tell me where you’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.”
16 Jesus said, “Mary.”
Turning around, she said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!”[a]—which means “Teacher.”(G)
17 “Don’t cling to Me,” Jesus told her, “for I have not yet ascended(H) to the Father.(I) But go to My brothers(J) and tell them that I am ascending to My Father(K) and your Father—to My God(L) and your God.”
18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!”(M) And she told them what[b] He had said to her.

New International Version
Jesus Appears to Mary Magdalene
11 Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb(A) 12 and saw two angels in white,(B) 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?”(C)
“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”(D) 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,(E) but she did not realize that it was Jesus.(F)
15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?(G) 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,(H) “Rabboni!”(I) (which means “Teacher”).
17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers(J) and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father(K) and your Father, to my God and your God.’”
18 Mary Magdalene(L) went to the disciples(M) with the news: “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them that he had said these things to her.
