Exegesis

The repeated prepositional phrase pros Simona Petron kai pros ton allon matheten {πρὸς Σίμωνα Πέτρον καὶ πρὸς τὸν ἄλλον μαθητὴν | pròs Sí-mō-na Pé-tron kaí pròs tòn ál-lon ma-thē-tḕn} uses pros with the accusative twice, highlighting the two specific recipients of Mary’s report and balancing Simon Peter with the unnamed “other disciple.”

In contextJohn 20:2

So she runs and comes to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and she says to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him.”
