John 20:12

Verse 12 of 31. The 20th of 21 chapters in John, in The Gospels.

8So then the other disciple who came first to the tomb also entered in, and he saw and believed.

9For as yet they didn’t know the Scripture, that he must rise from the dead.

10So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

11But Mary was standing outside at the tomb weeping. So as she wept, she stooped and looked into the tomb,

12and she saw two angels in white sitting, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.

13They asked her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” She said to them, “Because they have taken away my Lord, and I don’t know where they have laid him.”

14When she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, and didn’t know that it was Jesus.

15Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” She, supposing him to be the gardener, said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.”

16Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him, “Rabboni!” which is to say, “Teacher!”
