SCRIPTURE

"So the disciples went away again unto their own home." — John 20:10 (ASV)

Unto their own home (προς αυτους). "To themselves." Luke (Luke 24:12) has προς αυτον about Peter ("to his home"). This use of the reflective pronoun for home (literally, "to themselves"), like the French chez eux, occurs in Josephus (Ant. VII. 4, 6). John had taken the mother of Jesus to his home (19:27) and so he now hurried home to tell her the glorious news as he believed.
