門徒從墳墓回家去了，瑪利亞卻站在墳墓外邊痛哭；她痛哭的時候，就俯身向墳墓裡面窺看，見有兩位穿白衣的天使，坐在安放過耶穌遺體的地方：一位在頭部，一位在腳部。那兩位天使對她說：「女人！你哭什麼？」她答說：「有人把我主搬走了，我不知道他們把他放在那裡了。」說了這話，就向後轉身，見耶穌站在那裡，卻不知道他就是耶穌。耶穌向她說：「女人，你哭什麼？你找誰？」她以為是園丁，就說：「先生，若是你把他搬走了，請告訴我，你把他放在那裡，我去取回他來。」耶穌對她說：「瑪利亞！」她便轉身用希伯來話對他說：「辣步尼！」就是說「師傅」。耶穌向她說：「你別拉住我不放，因為我還沒有升到父那裡；你到我的弟兄那裡去，告訴他們：我升到我的父和你們的父那裡去，升到我的天主和你們的天主那裡去。」瑪利亞瑪達肋納就去告訴門徒說：「我見了主。」並報告了耶穌對她所說的那些話。

Mary stayed outside the tomb weeping. And as she wept, she bent over into the tomb and saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet where the Body of Jesus had been. And they said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “They have taken my Lord, and I don’t know where they laid him.” When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus there, but did not know it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?” She thought it was the gardener and said to him, “Sir, if you carried him away, tell me where you laid him, and I will take him.” Jesus said to her, “Mary!” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni,” which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, “Stop holding on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and tell them, ‘I am going to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.'” Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord,” and then reported what he told her.
