John 20:14-17 ▼

14 After she had said this, she turned around and noticed Jesus standing there, without realizing that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus asked her, |Dear lady, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?| Thinking he was the gardener, she told him, |Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him away.|

16 Jesus told her, |Mary!| She turned around and told him in Hebrew, |Rabbouni!| (which means |Teacher|).

17 Jesus told her, |Don't hold on to me, because I haven't yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, 'I'm ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'|
