20:1 As a devoted follower of Jesus (see Matt 27:55-56; Luke 8:1-3), Mary Magdalene arrived at the tomb to help complete Jesus’ burial (see John 19:42). • Many Judean tombs were sealed with a rolling stone.
20:11-13 Although two . . . angels appeared inside the tomb, the riddle of Jesus’ disappearance remained unsolved (see Luke 24:4). • why are you crying? Sorrow was not the appropriate response in this moment.
20:14-15 Jesus, whom Mary mistook for the gardener, repeated the angel’s question and added, Who are you looking for? Jesus’ question was to provoke Mary’s thinking: At this point Mary was looking for the body of Jesus, but she was about to meet the living Christ.
20:16 When Jesus called Mary by name, she recognized him immediately (see 10:3-4).
