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 talmid, who had arrived at the tomb first, also went in; he saw, and he trusted.

9 (They had not yet come to understand that the Tanakh teaches that the Messiah has to rise from the dead.)

10 So the talmidim returned home,

11 but Miryam stood outside crying. As she cried, she bent down, peered into the tomb,

12 and saw two angels in white sitting where the body of Yeshua had been, one at the head and one at the feet.
