Then she runs, and comes to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and says to them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulcher, and we know not where they have placed Him.

Then Simon Peter, following him, he came into the sepulcher; and sees the grave-clothes lying, and the napkin, which was on His head, not lying with the grave-clothes, but separate in one place, having been rolled up. Then the other disciple also came in, the one having come first to the sepulcher, and saw, and believed; for they did not yet understand the Scripture, That it behooved Him to rise from the dead. Then the disciples departed again to their own comrades. And Mary was standing at the sepulcher without, weeping: then while she was weeping, she looked into the sepulcher; and sees two angels sitting in white robes, one at the head, and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus lay. They say to her, Woman, why do you weep? She says to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have placed Him. Saying these words, she turned backward, and sees Jesus standing, and did not know that He is Jesus. Jesus says to her, Woman, why are you weeping? whom are you seeking? She, thinking that He is the gardener, says to Him, Sir, if you have taken Him away, tell me where you have placed Him, and I will take Him. Jesus says to her, Mary: she turning, says to Him in Hebrew, Rabboni, which is called Teacher. Jesus says to her, Cling not to me; for I have not ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and tell them, I ascend to my Father and your Father, and my God and your God. Mary Magdalene comes proclaiming to the disciples, I have seen the Lord; and He spoke these things to her.
