and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities; Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons,

and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who ministered to Him out of their possessions.

There were also women looking on from afar, among whom were Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of Jacob the Less and of Joses, and Salome,

who also followed Him and ministered to Him when He was in Galilee, and many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

Now when He arose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom He had cast seven demons.

And when they heard that He lives and was seen by her, they did not believe.

But Mary stood outside near the tomb weeping, and as she wept she stooped down into the tomb.

And they said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? She said to them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid Him.

Jesus said to her, Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking? She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away.

Jesus said to her, Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.
