Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - John 20:10

Peter and John, when they had been within the sepulchre, and seen that the body was not there, went home; believing verily that what the women at first told them was true, that somebody had removed the body out of the sepulchre; whither, they knew not. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - John 20:1-18

EXPLANATORY AND CRITICAL NOTESSt. John’s narrative of the Resurrection is not general. He describes how faith in the risen Lord was established in his own case and in the case of the other disciples. But although he does not record all the facts noted in the Synoptic narratives, he incidentally shows that he was aware of them. It is to be remembered that these historical pictures by St. John of the Passion and Resurrection were written for Christians, who were already acquainted with the facts... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 20:10

John 20:10 Christ Not in the Sepulchre I. The two disciples went away believing, because they found that Christ was not in the sepulchre. But Mary Magdalene came and told them that she had seen Him risen, and had heard His voice with her ears. What she told Peter and John, Peter and John are now telling to us. They tell us that they have heard Him, that they have seen Him with their eyes, have looked upon Him, yea, that their hands have handled Him. We may trust their testimony, as they trusted... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - John 20:10-18

John 20:10-18 Mary Magdalene at the Sepulchre We may see the following things in this passage: I. Mary's sorrow. (1) She sought for a lost Christ, and looked for Him where He was not to be found.

The strength of Mary's love. III. The imperfection of Mary's faith. IV. Our Lord's message sent by Mary. (1) It was a message... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - John 20:1-31

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to the gospel according to John, chapter 20.The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and she saw the stone was taken away from the sepulchre. Then she ran, and came to Simon Peter, and the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and said unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we don't know where they have laid him ( John 20:1-2 ).Now, the other gospels tell us that Mary came with... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - John 20:1-31

John 20:2 . They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre. After Mr. WEST had examined with all possible care every circumstance recorded of the resurrection, he in substance remarks, that John looked only into the sepulchre, while Peter coming up at a running pace, descended into the vault. They saw the linen clothes, and the napkin lying apart, and folded up in order. From the report of Luke, and this of John, we may infer that Peter ran twice to the sepulchre, for which two distinct... read more

John 20:1-10The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene … unto the sepulchreThe sepulchreThere were more common and more noble sepulchres.The common were in public burying places without the city. And through that place no current of water was to be made, cattle were not to feed there, nor wood to be gathered from thence. The more noble sepulchres were hewn out in some rock, in their own ground, with no little charge and art. You have the form of them described in these words: “He that... read more
