Who are you looking for?” Thinking he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him off, tell me where you have put him, and I will go and get him.” 16Jesus said to her, “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Hebrew, “Rabbouni!” — which means Teacher. 17Jesus said to her, “Do not hold on to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. Go instead to my brothers and tell them: I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”
