JOHN 20:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.”
They said to her, 'Woman, why are you weeping?' Jesus also said, 'Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?' — the angels' question (repeated by Jesus) inverts Mary's focus from loss to seeking. The term 'woman' (gyne) recalls the Cana wedding and the cross (John 2:4; 19:26), marking a pattern of Jesus' Johannine addresses. The doubled question emphasizes that grief must transform into active quest for encounter.
