John 20:16

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

John 20:16. Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.

She said, "My Master, my Rabbi, my Teacher, my Leader, my dear Master;" and I expect she said it with great exultation. She delighted to have her Master again, to have her Teacher again; for, to be without her Teacher, and without her Lord, was a terrible bereavement to that gentle, teachable heart. I suppose she was about to lay hold upon Christ, to grasp him by the feet, lest he should again go away from her.
