Jean 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.

Jean 20:10 In-Context

8 L'autre disciple, qui était arrivé le premier au sépulcre, entra aussi, et il vit, et il crut.
9 Car ils n'avaient pas encore compris l'Écriture, portant qu'il fallait que Jésus ressuscitât des morts.
10 Et les disciples retournèrent chez eux.
11 Cependant Marie se tenait dehors, près du sépulcre, en pleurant; et comme elle pleurait, elle se baissa dans le sépulcre,
12 Et elle vit deux anges vêtus de blanc, assis l'un à la tête, et l'autre aux pieds, au lieu où le corps de Jésus avait été couché.
