Jesus turned, saw them following him, and asked, "What are you looking for?" They answered, "Where do you live, Rabbi?" (This word means "Teacher.")

Jesus knew everything that was going to happen to him, so he stepped forward and asked them, "Who is it you are looking for?"

Again Jesus asked them, "Who is it you are looking for?" "Jesus of Nazareth," they said.

I went wandering through the city, through its streets and alleys. I looked for the one I love. I looked, but couldn't find him.

Most beautiful of women, where has your lover gone? Tell us which way your lover went, so that we can help you find him.

The angel spoke to the women. "You must not be afraid," he said. "I know you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified.

"Don't be alarmed," he said. "I know you are looking for Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is not here---he has been raised! Look, here is the place where he was placed.

Full of fear, the women bowed down to the ground, as the men said to them, "Why are you looking among the dead for one who is alive?

Don't think I am a worthless woman. I have been praying like this because I'm so miserable."

You snakes---how can you say good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
