Summary
Some modern translations of John 20:2 have Mary exclaiming, "They have taken away the Lord's body from the tomb." The word "body" is not in the Greek sentence, and its insertion might dampen our sympathy with Mary's profound grief. Dr. Amy Peeler has contributed several episodes to this podcast. She is the Kenneth T. Wessner Chair of Biblical Studies, Professor of New Testament, and Chair of the Ph.D. Program at Wheaton College . Her most recent publication include Ordinary Time: The Season of Growth and Hebrews (Commentaries for Christian Formation) . She is presently working on Paul's view on the impact of the Incarnation.
