Juan 20:13

13 Y ellos le dijeron<***>: Mujer, ¿por qué lloras? Ella les dijo<***>: Porque se han llevado a mi Señor, y no sé dónde le han puesto.

Juan 20:13 Meaning and Commentary

John 20:13

And they say unto her, woman, why weepest thou?
&c.] Signifying, that she had no reason to weep, but to rejoice and be glad; since, though the body of her Lord was not there, yet he was risen from the dead, and was alive. This they said, partly to rebuke her for her grief, and to comfort her under it: Beza's ancient copy adds here, as in ( John 20:15 ) "whom seekest thou?" and so does the Ethiopic version: "she saith unto them"; without any concern of mind about what they were, and as if they had been of the human kind; for her grief made her fearless, and she cared not who she opened the case to, so that she could get any relief, and any tidings of her Lord:

because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have
laid him;
and which she thought was reason sufficient for her weeping; could she but have known, that if he was taken away, it was by his friends, and was well used, and she could have had the opportunity of paying her last respects to him, it would have been a satisfaction; but nothing short of this could dry up her tears.

Juan 20:13 In-Context

11 Pero María estaba fuera, llorando junto al sepulcro; y mientras lloraba, se inclinó y miró dentro del sepulcro;

12 y vio<***> dos ángeles vestidos de blanco, sentados donde había estado el cuerpo de Jesús, uno a la cabecera y otro a los pies.

13 Y ellos le dijeron<***>: Mujer, ¿por qué lloras? Ella les dijo<***>: Porque se han llevado a mi Señor, y no sé dónde le han puesto.

14 Al decir esto, se volvió y vio<***> a Jesús que estaba allí, pero no sabía que era Jesús.

15 Jesús le dijo<***>: Mujer, ¿por qué lloras? ¿A quién buscas? Ella, pensando que era el hortelano, le dijo<***>: Señor, si tú le has llevado, dime dónde le has puesto, y yo me lo llevaré.
