Read John 20.11-18. In verses 11-13: Mary Magdalene and two angels. Why are you weeping? highlights Mary's response, which prepares for meeting Jesus. In verses 14-18: Mary Magdalene and the risen Jesus. Jesus' address, Woman, is characteristic (see 2.4; 4.21; 19.26). She only recognizes Jesus when he calls her by name. Rabbouni, a variant of Rabbi (see 1.38), perhaps not appropriate to be the revelation of the risen Lord. My Father propriate to the revelation of the risen Lord. My Father and your Father ... my God and your God, Jesus mediates the revelation of God as Father possible. Mary's report to the disciples forms the bridge to the next scene. Comments or Questions..
