John 20:16-18

New Testament for Everyone

¹⁶ “Mary!” said Jesus.

She turned and spoke in Aramaic.

“Rabbouni!” she said (which means “Teacher”).

¹⁷ “Don’t cling to me,” said Jesus. “I haven’t yet gone up to the father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I’m going up to my father and your father—to my God and your God.’ ”

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples, “I’ve seen the master!” and that he had said these things to her.
