13 They asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?”(A)

“They have taken my Lord away,” she said, “and I don’t know where they have put him.”(B) 14 At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there,(C) but she did not realize that it was Jesus.(D)

15 He asked her, “Woman, why are you crying?(E) Who is it you are looking for?”

Thinking he was the gardener, she said, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him.”

16 Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic,(F) “Rabboni!”(G) (which means “Teacher”).

17 Jesus said, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers(H) and tell them, ‘I am ascending to my Father(I) and your Father, to my God and your God.’”

Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”(F)

29 Then Jesus told him, “Because you have seen me, you have believed;(G) blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed.”(H)
