John 20:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

Mary turned toward Jesus and said in the Hebrew [^CAramaic] language, “Rabboni [^Ca variant of the more common Rabbi].” (This means “Teacher.”)

¹⁷ Jesus said to her, “Don’t ·hold on to [cling to; or touch] me, because I have not yet ·gone up [ascended] to the Father. But go to my brothers [^Chis disciples] and tell them, ‘I am ·going back [ascending] to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

¹⁸ Mary Magdalene went and said to the ·followers [disciples], “I saw the Lord!” And she told them what Jesus had said to her.
