20.15 Quem quæris? Illa existimans quia hortulanus esset, dicit ei. Non quod dubitet quem requireret, sed quia illa quem quærit ignoret, non enim quærit Christum, sed quem putat raptum. Domine. Quem putat hortulanum dicit Dominum, ut honorificaret hominem a quo rogabat beneficium. Nec sic dicit eum Dominum, sicut illum quem quærit sublatum. Jesum vero agnoscens vocat magistrum, quia recolit eum a quo discernere humana et divina discebat. Si tu sustulisti eum. Non dicit quem, quia hoc in animo agit vis amoris, ut quem semper cogitat nullum alium ignorare credat.

20:14-15 Jesus, whom Mary mistook for the gardener, repeated the angel’s question and added, Who are you looking for? Jesus’ question was to provoke Mary’s thinking: At this point Mary was looking for the body of Jesus, but she was about to meet the living Christ.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / pastforfuture
λέγει & λέγει
˓is˒_saying & ˓is˒_saying
Here John uses the present tense in past narration in order to call attention to a development in the story.
γύναι
woman
See how you translated the word Woman in the previous verse.
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / synecdoche
αὐτόν & αὐτόν & αὐτὸν
him & him & him
Mary speaks of Jesus’ dead body as if it were Jesus himself. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: [my Lord’s body … it … it]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
κἀγὼ αὐτὸν ἀρῶ
and_I him ˓will_be˒_taking_away
Mary Magdalene implies that she would take Jesus’ body away and bury it. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [and I will take him away and bury him again]
