He saw the strips of linen lying\nthere, \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>7<\/b><\/font> as well as the cloth that had been wrapped around Jesus\u2019 head. The cloth\nwas still lying in its place, separate from the linen. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>8<\/b><\/font> Finally the other disciple, who\nhad reached the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed. \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>9<\/b><\/font> (They still did\nnot understand from Scripture that Jesus had to rise from the dead.) \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>10<\/b><\/font> Then the\ndisciples went back to where they were staying.\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>11<\/b><\/font> Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into\nthe tomb \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>12<\/b><\/font> and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus\u2019 body had been, one\nat the head and the other at the foot.\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>13<\/b><\/font> They asked her, \u201cWoman, why are you crying?\u201d\n\u201cThey have taken my Lord away,\u201d she said, \u201cand I don\u2019t know where they have put\nhim.\u201d \n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>14<\/b><\/font> At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not\nrealize that it was Jesus.\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>15<\/b><\/font> He asked her, \u201cWoman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?\u201d\nThinking he was the gardener, she said, \u201cSir, if you have carried him away, tell me\nwhere you have put him, and I will get him.\u201d\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>16<\/b><\/font> Jesus said to her, \u201cMary.\u201d\nShe turned toward him and cried out in Aramaic, \u201cRabboni!\u201d (which means\n\u201cTeacher\u201d).\n<br><br>\n<font color=\"blue\"><b>17<\/b><\/font> Jesus said, \u201cDo not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father.
