Now several women were there looking on from a distance, who accompanied Jesus from Galilee to care for Him, among them Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of Zebedee's sons.
and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases: Mary, who was called Mary of Magdala, out of whom seven demons had gone, and Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod's household manager, and Susanna, and many other women, who continued to contribute to their needs out of their personal means.
But Mary stood just outside the tomb and kept weeping. So, as she was weeping, she stooped down and peered into the tomb and saw seated there two angels in white robes, one at the head, one at the feet, where Jesus' body had lain. And they said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have put Him." read more.
On saying this she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus. Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Because she supposed it was the gardener, she said to Him, "If it was you, sir, who carried Him away, tell me where you put Him, and I will remove Him." Jesus said to her, "Mary!" At once she turned and said to Him in Hebrew, "Rabboni!" which means Teacher. Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to me so, for I have not yet gone up to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them that I am going up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God." Mary of Magdala went and announced to the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had told her this.

There was following Him also a vast throng of the people and of women who were beating their breasts and lamenting Him.
After the sabbath, as the first day of the week was dawning, Mary of Magdala and the other Mary went to get a look at the tomb. Now there had been a great earthquake. For an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and went and rolled the boulder back and remained sitting upon it. His appearance was as bright as lightning and his clothes as white as snow. read more.
The men on guard trembled in awe of him, and became like dead men. And the angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; He has risen, as He said He would do. Come, get a look at the place where He was lying. Then run and tell His disciples, 'He has risen from the dead, and is going back to Galilee ahead of you; you will see Him there.' This is my message to you." So off they hurried from the tomb, frightened and yet in ecstasy, and ran to break the news to His disciples. Then Jesus met them Himself, and said, "Good morning!" And they went up to Him and clasped His feet, and worshiped Him.

So the women, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, followed closely after Joseph and saw the tomb and how His body was laid there. Then they went back home, and prepared spices and perfumes.
Now on the Sabbath they rested, in accordance with the commandment, but on the first day of the week at early dawn they went to the tomb, taking the spices which they had prepared. But they found the boulder rolled back from the tomb, and yet on going inside they did not find the body. read more.
And as they were being perplexed about this, two men in dazzling robes suddenly took their stand beside them. Because the women were so frightened and were turning their faces to the ground, they said to them, "Why are you looking among the dead for Him who is alive? [He is not here but has risen.] Remember what He told you while He was still in Galilee, when He said that the Son of Man had to be turned over to wicked men and crucified, but was to rise again on the third day." Then they recalled His words and returned from the tomb and reported all these things to the Eleven and all the rest. They were Mary of Magdala and Joanna, and Mary, James's mother, who, with the other women, reported these things to the apostles.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning while it was still dark, Mary of Magdala went to the tomb, and she saw that the stone had been removed from the tomb. So she ran away and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple whom Jesus tenderly loved, and said to them, "They have taken away the Lord from the tomb, and we do not know where they have put Him."
