laid him, and I will take him away.' Jesus said to her, 'Mary!' She turned
and said to him in Hebrew, 'Rabbouni!' (which means Teacher). Jesus said
to her, 'Do not hold on to me, because I have not yet ascended to the Father.
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."

when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem
, in all Judea and Samaria , and to the ends of the earth.' When he had said
this, as they were watching, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of
their sight. While he was going and they were gazing up toward heaven, suddenly
