Let’s solve the “Can You Guess Who I Am?” activity step by step.
We have four characters:
- Mary Magdalene
- Simon Peter
- Angel
- Roman Guard
And we have four clues. 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!”
Who said this?
In the Bible (John 20:16), Mary Magdalene was crying at the tomb, and Jesus called her by name — “Mary!” — and she recognized Him.
✔ This matches
Mary Magdalene.
---
Clue 2:
> “I was guarding Jesus’ tomb. When I saw the angel, I got very scared.”
Who guarded the tomb?
The Roman soldiers were assigned to guard the tomb (Matthew 27:65–66). When the angel came down, they shook with fear (Matthew 28:4).
✔ This matches
Roman Guard.
---
Clue 3:
> “Jesus asked me if I loved Him three times - and I said ‘Yes’.”
Who did Jesus ask this to?
After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to Simon Peter and asked him three times, “Do you love me?” (John 21:15–17). Peter had denied Jesus three times before, so this was a restoration moment.
✔ This matches
Simon Peter.
---
Clue 4:
> “I told the women, ‘Do not be afraid. Jesus has risen from the dead!’”
Who told the women not to be afraid?
At the empty tomb, an angel appeared to the women and said, “Do not be afraid... He is not here; He has risen!” (Matthew 28:5–6).
✔ 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 based on the Bible stories.
