John 20:10

10 abierunt ergo iterum ad semet ipsos discipuli

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 tunc ergo introivit et ille discipulus qui venerat primus ad monumentum et vidit et credidit
9 nondum enim sciebant scripturam quia oportet eum a mortuis resurgere
10 abierunt ergo iterum ad semet ipsos discipuli
11 Maria autem stabat ad monumentum foris plorans dum ergo fleret inclinavit se et prospexit in monumentum
12 et vidit duos angelos in albis sedentes unum ad caput et unum ad pedes ubi positum fuerat corpus Iesu
