In John 20:14, Mary Magdalene also fails to recognize Jesus initially — a parallel post-resurrection recognition delay.

John 21:4 Parallel

In John 21:4, the disciples at the shore do not recognize Jesus — another instance of unrecognized appearance after resurrection.

In Genesis 42:8, Joseph's brothers do not recognize him — a parallel to the disciples' failure to recognize Jesus.
