This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jesus saith unto her, Mary - It is not now the distant, though respectful, “Woman.” It is the oft-repeated name, uttered, no doubt, with all the wonted manner, and bringing a rush of unutterable and overpowering associations with it.
She turned herself, and saith to him, Rabboni! - But that single word of transported recognition was not enough for woman’s full heart. Not knowing the change which had passed upon Him, she hastens to express by her action what words failed to clothe; but she is checked.
