Appearance to Mary Magdalene
20 11Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she bent down to look inside; 12she saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head, and the other at the feet. 13They said: 
—Woman, why are you weeping? 
She answered: 
—Because they have taken my Lord and I don’t know where they have put him.
14As she said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not recognize him. 15Jesus said to her: 
—Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for? She thought it was the gardener and answered him: 
—Lord, if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and remove him.
16Jesus said to her: 
—Mary! 
She turned and said to him:
—Rabboni (which means, Master). 
17Jesus said to her: 
—Do not cling to me; you see I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them: I am ascending to my Father, who is your Father, to my God, who is your God.
18So Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples: 
—I have seen the Lord, and this is what he said to me.
