Exegesis
The final clause tauta eipen autē {ταῦτα εἶπεν αὐτῇ | taû-ta eî-pen au-têi} reaches back to Jesus’ earlier speech to Mary, making her testimony twofold: she has seen the Lord, and she carries His words to the disciples. The English renderings smooth the participial Greek into fluent finite clauses while preserving the sequence of witness, report, and prior speech.
In context — John 20:18
Mary Magdalene came with a report to the disciples that she had seen the Lord and that He had said these things to her.
