doesn't the Greek have more the meaning of "stop clinging to me", rather than "touch"?
The Greek hapto has a range of meanings that includes both, but "stop clinging to me" (in Jn 20:17) would be more consistent with what Matthew 28:9 says, and that's the thought conveyed by the ESV, NASB, NIV, and NLT. The meaning of Jesus' statement in John 20:17 has been previously discussed at length here.
