scripture which prompted belief in the resurrection; but only those matter-of- fact observations, the empty grave and the folded napkin.—Ver. το. Satisfied in their own minds ἀπῆλθον οὖν... ot µαθηταί. πρὸς éavTovs Or αὐτούς or αὐτούς = home; ‘chez eux,’’ Segond’s French version; εἰς τὰ ἴδια, modern Greek. Kypke gives examples of a phrase which he says is “‘ trita profanis ”.
Vv. 11-18.—$esus reveals Himself to Mary.—Ver.11. Μαρία δὲ εἰστήκει .. . Έξω. Hitherto John has told us simply what he himself saw: now he reports what Mary told him, see ver. 18. She had come to the tomb after the men, but could not share in their belief. She re- mained outside the tomb helplessly and hopelessly weeping. She herself had told the disciples that the tomb was empty, and she had seen them come out of it; but again παρέκνψεν εἰς τὸ μνημεῖον “she peered into the tomb”; an inimitably natural touch.. She could not believe her Lord was gone. καὶ θεωρεῖ . . . ᾿Ιησοῦ. This, says Holtz- mann, is a mere reminiscence of Luke xxiv. 4. But even the description of the angels differs. They were “seated one at the head and one at the feet where the body of Jesus lay”; sitting, says Bengel, ‘‘ quasi opera quapiam perfunc- tos, et exspectantes aliquem, quem doce- rent”. Lampe has little help to give here ; and Liicke is justified in saying that neither the believing nor the critical inquirer can lift the veil that hangs over this appearance of angels. In Mary’s case it was wholly without result; for no
sooner does she answer the angels’ ques- tion than she turns away, probably hear- ing a footstep behind her.—Ver. 14. ἐστράφη cis τὰ ὀπίσω .. . ‘And she sees Jesus standing and did not know that it was Jesus”’; not merely because her eyes were dim with tears, but because He was altered in appearance ; as Mark (xvi. 12) says, ἐν érépa µορφῇῃ. So little was her ultimate recognition of Jesus the result of her expectation or her own fancy embodied.—Ver. 15. λέγει... ζητεῖς: That she was searching for some one she had lost was obvious from her tears and demeanour. But not even the voice of Jesus sounds familiar. ᾿Εκείνη
. . ἀρῶ. She supposed Him to be the gardener (or garden-keeper) not because He had on the gardener’s clothes—for probably He wore merely the short drawers in which He had been crucified (see Hug and Lucke)—nor because He held the spade as represented in some pictures, but because no one else was likely to be there at that early hour and to question her as to her reason for being there. Her answer shows that she thought it possible that it had been found inconvenient to have the body of Jesus in that tomb and that it had been removed to some other place ofsepulture. In this case she will gladly relieve them of the encum- brance. It is none to her.—Ver. 16, λέγει . . . Διδάσκαλε. His uttering her name, Mapidu, revealed that He was a friend who knew her; and there was also that in the tone which made her instantly turn fully round to search Him with her gaze. Surprise, recognition,
