* Then they went away and returned home . * Meanwhile Mary remained standing near the tomb , weeping aloud . She did not enter the tomb , but as she wept she stooped and looked in , * and saw two angels clothed in white raiment , sitting one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus had been . * They spoke to her . »Why are you weeping ?« they asked . »Because ,« she replied , »they have taken away my Lord , and I do not know where they have put him .« * While she was speaking , she turned round and saw Jesus standing there , but did not recognize Him . * »Why are you weeping ?« He asked ; »who are you looking for ?« She , supposing that He was the gardener , replied , »Sir , if you have carried him away , tell me where you have put him and I will remove him .« * »Mary !« said Jesus . She turned to Him . »Rabboni !« she cried in Hebrew : the word means `Teacher !' * »Do not cling to me ,« said Jesus , »for I have not yet ascended to the Father . But take this message to my brethren : `I am ascending to my Father and your Father , to my God and your God .'« * Mary of Magdala came and brought word to the disciples . »I have seen the Master ,« she said . And she told them that He had said these things to her .
