Mark 16:5
Compare all
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

entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man—In Matthew 28:2 he is called "the angel of the Lord"; but here he is described as he appeared to the eye, in the bloom of a life that knows no decay. In Matthew he is represented as sitting on the stone outside the sepulchre; but since even there he says, "Come, see the place where the Lord lay" (Matthew 28:6), he seems, as ALFORD says, to have gone in with them from without; only awaiting their arrival to accompany them into the hallowed spot, and instruct them about it.

sitting on the right side—having respect to the position in which His Lord had lain there. This trait is peculiar to Mark; but compare Luke 1:11.

clothed in a long white garment—On its length, see Isaiah 6:1; and on its whiteness, see on Matthew 28:3.

and they were affrighted.
