The man said softly,
"Mary!"
She looked again. She knew that voice. It was Jesus—Jesus calling her name!
She cried out,
"Master!"
She moved as though to take hold of him. Jesus spoke again. It was really he.
"Do not try to hold me here. I am going to my Father in heaven. But now go and tell that to the disciples. Tell them that I am going to my Father."
And Mary went and told the disciples,
"I have seen the Lord!"
