13 And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

14 And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.

15 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.

She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni, which is to say, Master.

15 And it came to pa.s.s, that, while they communed _together_, and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

16 But their eyes were holden, that they should not know him.

24 And certain of them which were with us, went to the sepulchre, and found _it_ even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken!
