He Is Risen

1 Now awhen the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bbought spices, that they might come and anoint Him.  
2 aVery early in the morning, on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.  
3 And they said among themselves, “Who will roll away the stone from the door of the tomb for us?”
4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away—for it was very large.
5 aAnd entering the tomb, they saw a young man clothed in a long white robe sitting on the right side; and they were alarmed.

Mark 16:3

Who shall roll us away the stone? (Tiv apokulisei hmin ton liqon). Alone in Mark. The opposite of proskuliw in Mark 15:46. In verse Mark 16:4

rolled back (anekekulistai, perfect passive indicative) occurs also. Both verbs occur in Koin‚ writers and in the papyri. Clearly the women have no hope of the resurrection of Jesus for they were raising the problem (elegon, imperfect) as they walked along.
