約翰福音 20:1 Meaning and Commentary

John 20:1

The first day of the week
On the sixth day of the week, towards the close of it, Christ was interred; he lay in the grave all the seventh day, and on the first day of the week rose from the dead: so the women, after they had observed where the body was laid, went home and prepared spices and ointments, to anoint it; but the sabbath coming on, they were prevented; on which they rested, according to the Jewish law: but as soon as it was over,

cometh Mary Magdalene;
not alone, but other women with her; who had attended Christ at the cross, observed where he was buried, and had prepared spices to anoint him, and now came for that purpose; for not merely to see the sepulchre, and weep at the grave, did she with the rest come, but to perform this piece of funeral service:

early, when it was yet dark;
as it was when she set out, the day just began to dawn; though by that time she got to the sepulchre, the sun was rising:

unto the sepulchre;
where she saw the body of Jesus laid by Joseph, in a tomb of his, and in his garden; by whose leave, it is probable, being asked over night, she with her companions were admitted:

and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre:
which Joseph rolled there, and the Pharisees sealed and set a watch to observe it. This was removed by an angel; for though Christ himself could easily have done it, it was proper it should be done by a messenger from heaven, by the order of divine justice, who had laid him as a prisoner there. Mary's coming so early to the grave, shows her great love and affection to Christ, her zeal, courage, and diligence, in manifesting her respect unto him: and oftentimes so it is, that the greatest sinners, when converted, are most eminent for grace, particularly faith, love, and humility; and are most diligent in the discharge of duty.

約翰福音 20:1 In-Context

1 七 日 的 第 一 日 清 早 , 天 還 黑 的 時 候 , 抹 大 拉 的 馬 利 亞 來 到 墳 墓 那 裡 , 看 見 石 頭 從 墳 墓 挪 開 了 ,
2 就 跑 來 見 西 門 彼 得 和 耶 穌 所 愛 的 那 個 門 徒 , 對 他 們 說 : 有 人 把 主 從 墳 墓 裡 挪 了 去 , 我 們 不 知 道 放 在 那 裡 。
3 彼 得 和 那 門 徒 就 出 來 , 往 墳 墓 那 裡 去 。
4 兩 個 人 同 跑 , 那 門 徒 比 彼 得 跑 的 更 快 , 先 到 了 墳 墓 ,
5 低 頭 往 裡 看 , 就 見 細 麻 布 還 放 在 那 裡 , 只 是 沒 有 進 去 。
