According to John’s account, Mary of Magdala is the first to go to the tomb, while still dark, and she sadly finds out that it is empty. She needs Jesus. He is the Teacher who has understood and cured her. He is the Prophet that she has followed till the end. Whom is she going to follow now? Thus she laments before the disciples: “They have taken the Lord from the tomb and we do not know where they put him.”
