John 20:16. Jesus saith unto her, Mary.
In the simple utterance of her name, there were tones which she could not mistake, it was the sweetest music she had heard since her Lord’s last message from the cross: "Mary." "Why, surely," she must have thought, "it was the Master’s voice calling me by name!"
John 20:16. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
Or, "My Master!" The word "Rabboni" means something more than "Master." Mary seems to say, "Greatest and best of all teachers, I know thy voice; now that thou hast called me by my name, I recognize thee, and I wait to listen to the instruction thou art ready to impart to me."
