11 but Mary [from Magdala] was standing outside of the cave-like tomb crying. While she was [still] crying she stooped down to look in the tomb,
12 and there she saw two angels [dressed] in white [clothing] sitting where Jesus’ body had lain, one at His head and one at His feet.
13 They said to Mary, “[My dear] woman, why are you crying?” She answered, “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put Him.”
14 After she said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but did not know it was Him.
15 [Then] Jesus said to her, “[My dear] woman, why are you crying? Who are you looking for?” Assuming He was the grounds keeper, she said to Him, “Sir, if you have carried Him away from here, tell me where you laid Him, and I will go and get Him.”
16 [Then] Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned toward Him and replied in the Hebrew language, “Rabboni,” which means “Teacher.”
17 Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not ascended to the Father yet [Note: Apparently Jesus was discouraging Mary from embracing Him in worship as was done in Matt. 28:9, and thereby causing a delay of when the rest of the disciples would learn of His resurrection], but go to my brothers and tell them [I said] ‘I am [about] to ascend to my Father and to your Father, and to my God and your God.’”
18 So, Mary from Magdala went and told the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and that He had said these things to her. [See Matt. 28:7-10].
