Jump to Previous Crying Laid Weep Weepest WeepingJump to Next Crying Laid Weep Weepest WeepingJohn 20 1. Mary comes to the tomb;3. so do Peter and John, ignorant of the resurrection. 11. Jesus appears to Mary Magdalene, 19. and to his disciples. 24. The incredulity and confession of Thomas. 30. The Scripture is sufficient to salvation. They asked her This phrase introduces the dialogue between Mary Magdalene and the angels at the tomb. The Greek word for "asked" is "λέγουσιν" (legousin), which can also mean "said" or "spoke." This indicates a gentle inquiry rather than an interrogation. The angels' approach is compassionate, reflecting God's tender care for those in distress.

Woman Why are you weeping? She replied They have taken my Lord away and I do not know where they have put Him Because they have taken away my Lord.--The passionate feeling of John 20:2 still has entire possession of her mind. It is now more fervent, for she is not addressing her own friends and the Lord's disciples: "They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid Him." (Comp. Note on the plural, "we know not," in John 20:2.) She is here alone, speaking to strangers, and may, therefore, have used the singular, whether she went in the early morning with other women or not. Verse 13. - And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? "'Ακεῖνοι here," says Westcott, "like the name inserted in ver. 15, marks the pause during which Mary regarded those before her without speaking." Here we witness angelic wonder at human incredulity. Angelic ministry to human sorrow; for the mystery of our tears does not arrest the sympathy of these triumphant spirits. Often, if we are compelled to put into words the supposed cause of our bitterest agony, we deliver ourselves from our fears. She saith unto them, as if she were speaking simply and naturally to human beings. However, Mary of Magdala alone of the women knows them to be "angels," but is so overpowered with the loss of her Lord that she does not quail or flee, but wails forth anew the language she had already uttered to the disciples. I weep because they have taken away my Lord. That "my" makes a characteristic difference from "the Lord" of whom she had spoken to Peter and John. She did not at the instant know that her Lord was the Lord of angels. The "I know," rather than "we know," shows unquestionably that now she is alone, and the other women have left her and are electrifying the city with their strange tales. I know not where they (who have taken his sacred body) have laid him.Parallel Commentaries ... Greek “Woman,Γύναι (Gynai) Noun - Vocative Feminine Singular Strong's 1135: A woman, wife, my lady.
