Commentary on John 20:15

Theological / Devotional

Why weepest thou? The same inquiry as that of the angels (v. 13). These are the first recorded words of the risen Christ.

Thou. The pronoun is emphatic in the Greek. Mary entertains no hope of a resurrection. Her only concern is to recover the body of her Lord. She could bury it in the tomb in which her own brother had lain, but which had been made empty by Jesus (John 11:1,38; see Additional Note on Luke 7).
