John:20:10-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the disciples went away again to their own homes .
*
But Mary stood outside by the tomb weeping ,
and as she wept she stooped down and looked into the tomb .
*
And she saw two angels in white sitting ,
one at the head and the other at the feet ,
where the body of Jesus had lain .
*
Then they said to her , "
Woman ,
why are you weeping ?"
She said to them , "
Because they have taken away my Lord ,
and I do not know where they have laid Him ."
*
Now when she had said this ,
she turned around and saw Jesus standing there ,
and did not know that it was Jesus .
*
Jesus said to her , "
Woman ,
why are you weeping ?
Whom are you seeking ?"
She ,
supposing Him to be the gardener ,
said to Him , "
Sir ,
if You have carried Him away ,
tell me where You have laid Him ,
and I will take Him away ."
*
Jesus said to her , "
Mary !"
She turned and said to Him , "
Rabboni !" (
which is to say ,
Teacher ).
*
Jesus said to her , "
Do not cling to Me ,
for I have not yet ascended to My Father ;
but go to My brethren and say to them , "
I am ascending to My Father and your Father ,
and to My God and your God ."'
*
Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord ,
and that He had spoken these things to her .
