When Jesus again had crossed to the other side in a boat, a large crowd gathered around him by the seashore.

The servant girl saw him and again told those who were standing around, "This man is one of them!"

An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified.

Jesus told her, "Mary!" She turned around and told him in Hebrew, "Rabbouni!" (which means "Teacher").
