Original text and translations

German text Weib, was weinest du? Wen suchest du? Sie haben meinen Herren weggenommen, und ich weiss nicht, wo sie ihn hingeleget haben. Maria! Rabbuni! Rühre mich nicht an, denn ich bin noch nicht aufgefahren zu meinem Vater. Ich fahre auf zu meinem Vater und zu eurem Vater, zu meinem Gott und zu eurem Gott.

English translation Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?
