Joh_20:16. Jesus now calls her by name. Nothing more. By the voice, and by this voice, which utters aloud her name, she was to recognise Him.

στραφεῖσα ] She had therefore, after Joh_20:14, again turned towards the grave.

ῥαββουνί ] See on Mar_10:51.

The ʼΕβραϊστί is, indeed, matter of course, and in itself is superfluous; but in this circumstantiality there lies a certain solemnity in the delineation of the impressive moment. Note how, on the mention of her name, there follows nothing further on her side also, except that she utters the expressive Rabboni! More she cannot in all the throng of joyful surprise. Thus took place the ἐφάνη πρῶτον Μαρίᾳ τῇ Μαγδ ., Mar_16:9.
