Yohanes 20:9-12

20:9 (For they did not yet understand ¹  the scripture that Jesus ²  must rise from the dead.) ³ 

Jesus’ Appearance to Mary Magdalene

20:10 So the disciples went back to their homes. 20:11 But Mary stood outside the tomb weeping. As she wept, she bent down and looked into the tomb. 20:12 And she saw two angels in white sitting where Jesus’ body had been lying, one at the head and one at the feet.

[20:9]  ¹ tn Or “yet know.”

[20:9]  ² tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[20:9]  ³ sn Verse 9 is a parenthetical note by the author. The author does not explicitly mention what OT scripture is involved (neither does Paul in 1 Cor 15:4, for that matter). The resurrection of the Messiah in general terms may have been seen in Isa 53:10-12 and Ps 16:10. Specific references may have been understood in Jonah 1:17 and Hos 6:2 because of the mention of “the third day.” Beyond this it is not possible to be more specific.
