Let’s solve this step by step.
We have four clues in the middle of the page, and four characters on the sides: Mary Magdalene, Simon Peter, Angel, and Roman Guard. We need to match each clue to the right person.
---
Clue 1:
“I was crying, but then I heard Jesus say my name and saw Him standing in front of me!”
→ This is about someone who was sad at the tomb, and Jesus appeared to them personally. In the Bible, Mary Magdalene was the first to see Jesus after He rose — she thought He was the gardener until He called her name. So this matches
Mary Magdalene.
---
Clue 2:
“I was guarding Jesus’ tomb. When I saw the angel, I got very scared.”
→ Who guards a tomb? A soldier! The Roman soldiers were assigned to guard Jesus’ tomb. And when the angel came down (with earthquake and bright light), they were terrified. So this matches
Roman Guard.
---
Clue 3:
“Jesus asked me if I loved Him three times - and I said ‘Yes’.”
→ After Jesus rose, He appeared to His disciples. He specially talked to Simon Peter and asked him “Do you love Me?” three times — because Peter had denied Jesus three times before. So this matches
Simon Peter.
---
Clue 4:
“I told the women, ‘Do not be afraid; Jesus has risen from the dead!’”
→ Who tells people not to be afraid and announces that Jesus is alive? That’s the angel at the tomb! The angels spoke to the women who came to anoint Jesus’ body. So this matches
Angel.

Now let’s double-check:
- Clue 1 → Mary Magdalene
✔
- Clue 2 → Roman Guard
✔
- Clue 3 → Simon Peter
✔
- Clue 4 → Angel
✔
All clues are matched correctly.
Final Answer:
Draw lines as follows:
- “I was crying...” → Mary Magdalene
- “I was guarding Jesus’ tomb...” → Roman Guard
- “Jesus asked me if I loved Him...” → Simon Peter
- “I told the women...” → Angel
