John 20:16–18

¹⁶Jesus said to her, “Mary.”

She turned and said to Him in Hebrew,^c “Rabboni!” (which means “Teacher”).

¹⁷“Do not cling to Me,” Jesus said, “for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go and tell My brothers, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, to My God and your God.’”

¹⁸Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!” And she told them what He had said to her.
