John 20:9

20:9 (For they did not yet understand ¹  the scripture that Jesus ²  must rise from the dead.) ³ 

John 20:13

20:13 They said ⁴  to her, “Woman, ⁵  why are you weeping?” Mary replied, ⁶  “They have taken my Lord away, and I do not know where they have put him!”

John 20:15

20:15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Who are you looking for?” Because she ⁷  thought he was the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will take him.”

Matthew 27:63-64

27:63 and said, “Sir, we remember that while that deceiver was still alive he said, ‘After three days I will rise again.’ 27:64 So give orders to secure the tomb until the third day. Otherwise his disciples may come and steal his body ⁸  and say to the people, ‘He has been raised from the dead,’ and the last deception will be worse than the first.”

¹ tn Or “yet know.”

² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ sn Verse 9 is a parenthetical note by the author. The author does not explicitly mention what OT scripture is involved (neither does Paul in 1 Cor 15:4, for that matter). The resurrection of the Messiah in general terms may have been seen in Isa 53:10-12 and Ps 16:10. Specific references may have been understood in Jonah 1:17 and Hos 6:2 because of the mention of “the third day.” Beyond this it is not possible to be more specific.

⁴ tn The conjunction καί (kai, “and”) has not been translated here.

⁵ sn Woman was a polite form of address (see BDAG 208-9 s.v. γυνή 1), similar to “Madam” or “Ma’am” used in English in different regions. This occurs again in v. 15.

⁶ tn Grk “She said to them.”

⁷ tn Grk “that one” (referring to Mary Magdalene).

⁸ tn Grk “him.”
