he scripture, that he must rise again from the dead. So the
disciples went away again unto their own home.
THE APPEARANCE TO MARY.
But Mary was standing without at the tomb weeping: so, as she wept,
she stooped and looked into the tomb; and she beholdeth two angels in
white sitting, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of
Jesus had lain. And they say unto her, "Woman, why weepest thou?"
She saith unto them, "Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know
not where they have laid him."
When she had thus said, she turned herself back, and beholdeth Jesus
standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
Jesus saith unto her, "Woman, why weepest thou? Whom seekest thou?"
She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, "Sir, if thou
hast borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will
take him away."
Jesus saith unto her, "Mary."
She turneth herself, and saith unto him in Hebrew, "Rabboni"; which is
to say, "Teacher."
Jesus saith to her, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended unto the
Father: but go unto my brethren, and say to them, 'I ascend unto my
Father, and your Father, and my God and your God.'"
Mary Magdalene cometh and telleth the disciples, "I have seen the
Lord"; and that he had said these things unto her.

tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared. And they were
saying among themselves, "Who shall roll us away the stone from the
door of the tomb?" and looking up, they see that the stone is rolled
back: for it was exceeding great. And entering into the tomb, they saw
a young man sitting on the right side arrayed in a white robe; and
they were amazed. And he saith unto them, "Be not amazed: ye seek
Jesus, the Nazarene, who hath been crucified: he is risen; he is not
here: behold, the place where they laid him! But go, tell his
disciples and Peter, 'He goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye
see him, as he said unto you.'"
And they departed quickly from the tomb with fear and great joy, and
ran to bring his disciples word.
And behold, Jesus met them, saying, "All hail." And they came and took
hold of his feet, and worshipped him.
Then saith Jesus unto them, "Fear not: go tell my brethren that they
depart into Galilee, and there shall they see me."
