John 20:11-18 (NLT)
Mary was standing outside the tomb crying and as she went, she stopped and looked in. She saw two white-robed angels sitting at the head and foot of the place where the body of Jesus had been lying. "Why are you crying?" the angels asked her.
"Because they have taken away my Lord," she replied," and I don't know where have put him."
She glanced over her shoulder and saw someone standing behind her. It was Jesus, but she didn't recognize him. Why are you crying?" Jesus asked her. "Who are you looking for?"
She thought he was the gardener, "Sir," she said, "if you have taken him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him."
"Mary!" Jesus said.
She turned toward him and exclaimed, "Teacher!"
"Don't cling to me," Jesus said, "for I haven't yet ascended to the Father. But go find my brothers and tell them that I am ascending to my Father and your Father, my God and your God."
Mary Magdalene found the disciples and told them, "I have seen the Lord!" Then she gave them his message.
