Mark 16:5

Mark 16:5

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.

6 ^aBut he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You seek Jesus of Nazareth, who was crucified. He is risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.

7 But go, tell His disciples—and Peter—that He is going¹ before you into Galilee; there you will see Him, ^aas He said to you.”

8 So they went out¹ quickly and fled from the tomb, for they trembled and were amazed. ^aAnd they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

Mary Magdalene Sees the Risen Lord

9 ¹Now when He rose early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, ^aout of whom He had cast seven demons.

10 ^aShe went and told those who had been with Him, as they mourned and wept.

Mark 16:5 And entering into the sepulchre. Mary Magdalene, seeing the stone rolled away, and supposing the body had been removed by the Jews, runs to find Peter and John (John 20:1-2). The other women proceed to the sepulchre, and enter. Saw a young man. Matthew calls him an angel (Matthew 28:2). Luke says that there were two who "stood" (Luke 24:4); i.e., appeared suddenly. Besides, they might easily have both sat and stood during the interview; might have been both outside and inside at different moments, and they might have been seen both singly and together in the sudden and shifting apparition (Jacobus).
