John 20: 11-18
Mary Magdalene 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,
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,
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,
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 went and announced to the disciples,
“I have seen the Lord,”
and then reported what he had told her.

Juan 20:11-18
Ngunit si Maria ay nakatayo sa labas ng libingan na tumatangis. Sa kaniyang pagtangis, siya ay yumuko at tumingin sa loob ng libingan. Nakita niyang nakaupo ang dalawang anghel na nakaputi. Ang isa ay nasa ulunan at ang isa ay nasa paanan ng pinaglagyan ng katawan ni Jesus.
Sinabi nila sa kaniya: Babae, bakit ka tumatangis?
Sinabi niya sa kanila: Kinuha nila ang aking Panginoon at hindi ko alam kung saan nila siya inilagay. Pagkasabi niya ng mga ito, siya ay tumalikod at nakita niya si Jesus na nakatayo. Hindi niya alam na iyon ay si Jesus.
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Babae, bakit ka tumatangis? Sino ang hinahanap mo?
Inakala niyang siya ang tagapag-alaga ng halamanan. Kaya sinabi niya sa kaniya: Ginoo, kung kinuha mo siya rito, sabihin mo sa akin kung saan mo siya inilagay. Kukunin ko siya.
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Maria.
Humarap siya at sinabi sa kaniya: Raboni! Ang ibig sabihin nito ay guro.
Sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya: Huwag mo akong hawakan sapagkat hindi pa ako nakakaakyat sa aking Ama. Pumunta ka sa mga kapatid ko. Sabihin mo sa kanila na ako ay papaitaas sa aking Ama at inyong Ama, sa aking Diyos at inyong Diyos.
Si Maria na taga-Magdala ay pumunta sa mga alagad. Sinabi niya sa kanila na nakita niya ang Panginoon. At ang mga bagay na ito ay sinabi ni Jesus sa kaniya.

Go to My brothers and tell them
Next to Peter, the beloved disciple, Andrew, and Judas, the figure most frequently mentioned in the Gospel of John is Mary Magdalene (14 times in all). Mary’s first impression of the empty tomb is negative: She thinks that Jesus’ body was carried away (20:2). In her second visit, the impression is still negative: She insists that people have taken away the body of her Lord (20:13). But this serves as a transition to the main positive story where she comes to faith, made possible not by the angels but by Jesus Himself.
Even though Jesus stands plainly in sight, Mary does not recognize Him. He asks her, “Whom are you looking for?” – a question that probes discipleship (see Jn 1:41 where the early disciples stay with Jesus and find the Messiah). Mary is looking for the dead Jesus; she will find the living one. She is looking for the familiar Jesus; she is before the Glorified One. The tears she has shed for her Master have blurred her vision to the heavenly interventions (the two angels). Jesus overcomes this failure by calling her by name. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who calls His very own by name (see Jn 10:3). Mary proves that she is one of those of whom Jesus said: “I know Mine and Mine know Me” (Jn 10:14).
At the end of the story, Mary Magdalene announces to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord.” Mary Magdalene is the first to proclaim the risen Lord. She is “the apostle to the apostles.”
God bless you more than you can ever imagine.
