9. (These followers did not yet understand from the Scriptures that Jesus must rise from death.)
10. Then the followers went back home.
11. But Mary stood outside the tomb, crying. While she was still crying, she bent down and looked inside the tomb.
12. She saw two angels dressed in white. They were sitting where Jesus’ body had been, one at the head and one at the feet.
13. They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”She answered, “They have taken away my Lord. I don’t know where they have put him.”
14. When Mary said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there. But she did not know that it was Jesus.
15. Jesus asked her, “Woman, why are you crying? Whom are you looking for?”Mary thought he was the gardener. So she said to him, “Did you take him away, sir? Tell me where you put him, and I will get him.”
16. Jesus said to her, “Mary.”Mary turned toward Jesus and said in the Jewish language, “Rabboni.” (This means Teacher.)
