But go to my brothers and say to them, “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God. ”‘ Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, ‘I have seen the Lord’; and she told them that he had said these things to her.” — John 20:17-18
Key Scripture: “When [Mary] had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not know that it was Jesus… Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him…” — John 20:14, 15c
