Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. They think they will bring strange tidings-thrilling intelligence-to their downcast brethren. But before they have time to tell their tale, their own ears are saluted with tidings not less thrilling: "The Lord is risen indeed х ontoos (G3689)], and hath appeared to SIMON." Most touching and precious intelligence this. The only one of the Eleven to whom He appeared alone was he, it seems, who had so shamefully denied Him. What passed at that interview we shall never know here. Probably it was too sacred for disclosure. See the note at Mark 16:7.
