“How is it that You, a Jew, ask for a drink from me, a Samaritan woman?” she asked Him. For Jews do not associate with Samaritans.

“I don’t have a husband,” she answered.

“You have correctly said, ‘I don’t have a husband,’” Jesus said.

Now many Samaritans from that town believed in Him because of what the woman said when she testified, “He told me everything I ever did.”

“No one, Lord,” she answered.

“Neither do I condemn you,” said Jesus. “Go, and from now on do not sin anymore.”]

As soon as Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went to meet Him. But Mary remained seated in the house.

“Yes, Lord,” she told Him, “I believe You are the Messiah, the Son of God, who comes into the world.”

Having said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, saying in private, “The Teacher is here and is calling for you.”

As soon as she heard this, she got up quickly and went to Him.

The Jews who were with her in the house consoling her saw that Mary got up quickly and went out. So they followed her, supposing that she was going to the tomb to cry there.

When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw Him, she fell at His feet and told Him, “Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died!”

Jesus answered, “Leave her alone; she has kept it for the day of My burial.

When a woman is in labor she has pain because her time has come. But when she has given birth to a child, she no longer remembers the suffering because of the joy that a person has been born into the world.

On the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb.

So she ran to Simon Peter and to the other disciple, the one Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we don’t know where they have put Him!”

But Mary stood outside facing the tomb, crying. As she was crying, she stooped to look into the tomb.

She saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where Jesus’ body had been lying.

They said to her, “Woman, why are you crying?”

“Because they’ve taken away my Lord,” she told them, “and I don’t know where they’ve put Him.”

Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, though she did not know it was Jesus.

“Woman,” Jesus said to her, “why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?”

Supposing He was the gardener, she replied, “Sir, if you’ve removed Him, tell me where you’ve put Him, and I will take Him away.”

Jesus said, “Mary.”

Turning around, she said to Him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!”—which means “Teacher.”

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.
