16, 17. Jesus saith unto her, Mary--It is not now the distant, though
respectful, "Woman." It is the oft-repeated name, uttered, no doubt,
with all the wonted manner, and bringing a rush of unutterable and
overpowering associations with it.
She turned herself, and saith to him, Rabboni!--But that single word
of transported recognition was not enough for woman's full heart. Not
knowing the change which had passed upon Him, she hastens to express by
her action what words failed to clothe; but she is checked.
