11 But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,



Ver. 11. Mary stood at the sepulchre, weeping] Some think it was because she conceived that the Jews had gotten away our Saviour’s dead body to dishonour it; as the Popish persecutors digged up Bucer’s and many other good men’s bones to burn them. She wept where she had no such cause; so do too many, women especially, who should do well to keep their tears for better uses, and not wash foul rooms with sweet waters. Needless tears must be unwept again.
