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.
