the authorities for purposes of their own had removed the body.—Ver. 2. τρέχει οὖν .. . αὐτόν. She therefore runs, dis- regarding unseemliness, and comes to those who would be most interested, and without preface, breathless and anxious, exclaims: ἡραν .. . ‘they have re- moved the Lord from the tomb, and we know not where they have laid Him”, Evidently she had no idea that a resur- rection had taken place. The plural οἴδαμεν may naturally be accepted as confirming Mark’s account that she was not alone.—Ver. 3. At once the two men ἐξῆλθεν .. . καὶ ἤρχοντο, singular and plural as frequently, aorist and imperfect, the one referring to the passing beyond the city wall, the other to the whole course from the house to the tomb.—Ver. 4. ἔτρεχον δὲ οἱ δύο ὁμοῦ, “and the two ran together’: equally eager; but 6 ἄλλος μαθητὴς προέδραµε ταχίον τοῦ Πέτρον, ‘the other disciple ran on before more quickly than Peter”; probably John was the younger man. [Lampe sug- gests two other reasons: either Peter’s steps were slower “ob conscientiam culpae,” or “forte via Joanni magis nota erat’’.] Consequently John ἦλθε πρῶτος . . » “came first to the tomb”. —Ver. 5. καὶ παρακύψας... The Κ.Υ. renders παρακύψας by ‘stooping and looking in,” A.V. has merely “' stooping down”; the Vulgate “cum se inclinasset,”’ Weizsacker “' beugte sich vor”. Field (Otium Norvic. on Luke xxiv. 12) prefers ‘‘ looking in,” although, he says, ‘‘ peep in’? would more accurately define the word παρακύπτειν. He quotes Casau- bon’s opinion that the word implies “‘ pro- tensionem colli cum modica corporis incurvatione . See also Kypke on Luke xxiv. 12, and Lid. and Scott Lex. ὀθόνια are the strips of linen used for swathing the dead; the cerecloths. ὀθόνη is frequent in Homer (I1., 3, 141 ; 18, 595) to denote the fine material of women’s
dress; in Lucian and Herodian of sails ; in Acts x. 11 ofasheet. σινδών is the word used by Luke (xxiii. 53); so Herodotus, li. 86. οὐ µέντοι εἰσῆλθεν, “he did not however enter,” withheld by dread of pollution, according to Wetstein; by terror, according to Meyer. Itisenough to suppose that it did not occur to John to enter the tomb, or that he was with- held by a feeling of reverence or delicacy. —Ver. 6. Peter is notso withheld. He enters καὶ θεωρεῖ τὰ ὀθόνια . . . τόπον, θεωρεῖ is probably used here in its stricter sense of seeing so as to draw conclusions. —Ver. 7. What he saw was significant ; the linen wrappings lying, and the nap- kin which had been on His head not lying with the linen cloths, but separately folded up in a place by itself. The first circumstance was evidence that the body had not been hastily snatched away for burial elsewhere. Had the authorities or any one else taken the body, they would have taken it as it was. The second circumstance gave them even stronger proof that there had been no hurry. The . napkin was neatly folded and laid “into one place,” the linens being in another. They felt in the tomb as if they were in a chamber where one had divested him- self of one set of garments to assume another. [Euthymius is here interesting and realistic.] σονδάριον, sudarium, from sudo, I sweat.—Ver. 8. On Peter reporting what he saw τότε οὖν. .. ἐπίστευσεν. “then entered accordingly the other disciple also, who had first arrived at the tomb, and he saw and believed”. Standing and gazing at the folded napkin, John saw the truth. Jesus has Himself risen, and disencum- bered Himself of these wrappings. Cf. xi. 44. It was enough for John; ἐπίσ- τευσεν. He visited no other tomb; he questioned no one. — Ver. g. The emptied and orderly grave convinced him, οὐδέπω γὰρ ῄδεισαν .. . ἀναστῆναι; it was not an expectation founded on
