Mark 16:9-11

    When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared just to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons. She went and told those who had been with him and were mourning and weeping. When they heard that Jesus was alive and that she had seen him, they did not believe it. 

 

Luke 24:9-12 

    When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and all the others. It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the others with them who told this to the apostles. But they did not believe the women, because their words seemed to them like nonsense. Peter, however, got up and ran to the tomb. Bending over, he saw the strips of linen lying by themselves, and he went away, wondering to himself what had happened. 

John 10:11-18  

    Now Mary stood outside the tomb crying. As she wept, she bent over to look into the tomb and saw two angels in white, seated where Jesus' body had been, one at the head and the other at the foot. 

    They asked her, "Woman, why are you crying?"

    "They have taken my Lord away," she said, "and I don't know where they have put him." At this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, but she did not realize it was Jesus.

    He asked her, "Woman, why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?"

    Thinking he was the gardener, she said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him." 

    Jesus said to her, "Mary."

    She turned toward him and cried our in Aramaic, "Rabboni!" (which means "Teacher).

    Jesus said, "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 to your Father, to my God and your God.' "

    Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news: "I have seen the Lord!" And she told them that he had said these things to her.
