Compare all
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.”

15 aAnd He said to them, “Go into all the world band preach the gospel to every creature.  
16 aHe who believes and is baptized will be saved; bbut he who does not believe will be condemned.  
17 And these asigns will follow those who believe: bIn My name they will cast out demons; cthey will speak with new tongues;  
18 athey will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; bthey will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.”

Mark 16:9

When he had risen early on the first day of the week (anastav prw prwth sabbatou). It is probable that this note of time goes with "risen" (anastav), though it makes good sense with "appeared" (efanh). Jesus is not mentioned by name here, though he is clearly the one meant. Mark uses mia in verse Mark 16:2, but prwth in Mark 14:12 and the plural sabbatwn in verse Mark 16:2, though the singular here.

First (prwton). Definite statement that Jesus

appeared (efanh) to Mary Magdalene first of all. The verb efanh (second aorist passive of fainw) is here alone of the Risen Christ (cf. Eleiav efanh, Luke 9:8), the usual verb being wfqh (Luke 24:34; I Corinthians 15:5 ff.).

From whom (par hv). Only instance of para with the casting out of demons, ek being usual (Mark 1:25-26; Mark 5:8; Mark 7:26, Mark 7:29; Mark 9:25). Ekbeblhkei is past perfect indicative without augment. This description of Mary Magdalene is like that in Luke 8:2 and seems strange in Mark at this point, described as a new character here, though mentioned by Mark three times just before (Mark 15:40, Mark 15:47; Mark 16:1). The appearance to Mary Magdalene is given in full by John 20:11-18.
