SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 20:11–18: Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene

This section tells how Mary Magdalene remained at the tomb after the two disciples left. She was crying and saw two angels inside the tomb. They asked her why she was crying and she said that someone had taken Jesus’ body. Then she turned around and saw Jesus, but she did not recognize him until he said her name. He told her not to hold him, but to go tell his disciples what she had seen, which she did.

Here are other possible section headings:

Mary Magdalene saw Jesus at the tomb

Jesus’ first resurrection appearance

Mary from Magdala was the first to see Jesus

Paragraph 20:17–18

Jesus told Mary to go and tell the disciples that she had seen him alive. She obeyed him.

20:18a

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have seen the Lord!”

Mary Magdalene went to the disciples and said to them, “I saw the Lord!”
Mary Magdalene left and when she reached the disciples, she told them that she had seen the Lord, alive.

Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples: Mary went to where the disciples were, in Jerusalem. She gave them Jesus’ message. For example:

Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news (NIV)

Mary from Magdala went to the disciples and told them (GW)

Mary Magdalene: See how you referred to Mary in 20:1. Refer back to her in a way that is natural in your language.

announced to the disciples: The Greek word that the BSB translates as announced means “informed” or “told.” Mary Magdalene told the disciples something that they did not know. Here are other ways to translate this phrase:

and told them (GW)

and informed the disciples (NET)

and said to Jesus’ disciples

Mary Magdalene went to the disciples with the news (NIV)

the disciples: The Greek word that the BSB translates as the disciples here refers to the group of Jesus’ followers who were closest to him. There were 11 of them after Judas Iscariot left.

I have seen the Lord!: Mary implied that she had seen the Lord alive. She had not just seen his dead body. Check that your readers will understand this.

the Lord: Mary was speaking to fellow believers, other followers of Jesus. So in some languages it is more natural to say:

our^(incl) Lord

General Comment on 20:18a

This is a direct quotation. In some languages it is more natural to use an indirect quotation. For example:

So Mary Magdalene went and told the disciples that she had seen the Lord (GNT)

20:18b

And she told them what He had said to her.

She also told them what he had said to her.
She also gave them his message.

And she told them what He had said to her: Mary delivered Jesus’ message about ascending to the Father. Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

and she told them what Jesus had said to her (NCV)

Then she gave them his message. (NLT)

Then she also made-known to them what Jesus had told her. (Kankanaey Back Translation)

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture

ἔρχεται

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Ἔρχεται Μαριάμ ἡ Μαγδαληνή ἀγγέλλουσα τοῖς μαθηταῖς ὅτι Ἑώρακα τόν Κύριον καί ταῦτα εἶπεν αὐτῇ)

Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / go

ἔρχεται Μαριὰμ ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ

Your language may state “goes” rather than comes in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: [Mary Magdalene goes]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

ἔρχεται Μαριὰμ ἡ Μαγδαληνὴ

John is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: [Mary Magdalene comes to where the disciples were staying]
