John 20:10 Meaning and Commentary

John 20:10

Then the disciples
Peter and John, after they had seen and examined things, and satisfied themselves as much as they could:

went away again unto their own home;
or "to themselves", as in the original text, and so the Vulgate Latin reads it; not that the meaning is, that they had been out of their minds, and proper exercise of them, and now came to themselves; but they returned to their own company, to the rest of the disciples they left at home, who were as themselves. The Syriac renders it, (Nwhtkwdl) , "to their own place", and so the Arabic and Persic versions; the place from whence they came, and where the rest were assembled together, to pray, converse, and consult together, what was to be done at this juncture.

John 20:10 In-Context

8 Then the other disciple, the one who arrived at the tomb first, also went inside. He saw and believed.
9 They didn't yet understand the scripture that Jesus must rise from the dead.
10 Then the disciples returned to the place where they were staying.
11 Mary stood outside near the tomb, crying. As she cried, she bent down to look into the tomb.
12 She saw two angels dressed in white, seated where the body of Jesus had been, one at the head and one at the foot.
