In John 20:1-18, Mary Magdalene arrives at the tomb early in the morning while it is still dark. She sees the stone has been removed from the entrance and runs to tell Peter and another disciple. They race to the tomb, find it empty, and leave, but Mary stays, weeping. Jesus appears to her, calling her by name. Overjoyed, she recognizes him and clings to him until he instructs her to go tell the disciples of his resurrection.
