Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 20:11-15.


John 20:13

_ _ Woman, why weepest thou? — You would think the vision too much for a lone woman. But absorbed in the one Object of her affection and pursuit, she speaks out her grief without fear.

_ _ Because, etc. — that is, Can I choose but weep, when “they have taken away,” etc., repeating her very words to Peter and John. On this she turned herself and saw Jesus Himself standing beside her, but took Him for the gardener. Clad therefore in some such style He must have been. But if any ask, as too curious interpreters do, whence He got those habiliments, we answer [with Olshausen and Luthardt] where the two angels got theirs. Nor did the voice of His first words disclose Him to Mary — “Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou?” He will try her ere he tell her. She answers not the stranger’s question, but comes straight to her point with him.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

John 20:13

And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away (c) my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.

(c) Mary spoke as the common people used to speak: for they spoke of a dead carcass as they did of a living man.
