John:20:10-18
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the disciples went back to their homes .
*
But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb ,
and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb .
*
And she saw two angels in white ,
sitting where the body of Jesus had lain ,
one at the head and the other at the feet .
*
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 .«
*
Saying this ,
she turned around and saw Jesus standing there ,
but she did not know that it was Jesus .
*
Jesus said to her , »
Woman ,
why are you weeping ?
Whom are you seeking ?«
Supposing him to be the gardener ,
she 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 in Hebrew , »
Rabboni !« (
which means ,
Teacher ).
*
Jesus said to her , »
Do not hold me ,
for I have not yet ascended to the Father ;
but go to my brethren and say to them , »
I am ascending to my Father and your Father ,
to my God and your God .«
*
Mary Magdalene went and said to the disciples , »
I have seen the Lord !«
And she told them that he had said these things to her .
