JOHN 20:18 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Mary Magdalene came and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord, and that he had spoken these things unto her.”
Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, 'I have seen the Lord'; and she told them that he had said these things to her — Mary's proclamation (angelizō) as first witness parallels the apostolic function; she becomes evangelist of resurrection. Her testimony is personal ('I have seen') and authoritative (she conveys Jesus' own words). John grants this woman what the other Gospels reserve for the apostolic college: apostolic witness to the risen Lord.
