JOHN—NOTE ON John 20:15 Mary mistook Jesus for the gardener, perhaps because it was not fully light (see v. John 20:1). She may also have turned and seen someone there but had then turned back toward the tomb as she spoke (in v. John 20:16 she “turned” again to speak directly to Jesus). After his resurrection, the disciples did not always immediately recognize Jesus (see Luke 24:16, Luke 24:31).
