To assure her that he was not yet leaving, Jesus instructed Mary to stop clinging to him but instead to go and declare to his disciples the news of his resurrection. ​ — John 20: 17.
Jeesus palus tal ennast lahti lasta ning minna hoopis teatama tema jüngritele, et ta on üles tõusnud, kinnitades seeläbi naisele, et ta ei lahku veel.
