Commentary on Mark 16:1
Theological / DevotionalWas past. [The Resurrection, Mark 16:1–11=Matt 28:1–15=Luke 24:1–12=John 20:1–18. Major comment: Matthew and John.] Or, “had intervened,” that is, between the events of ch. 15 and those about to be presented in ch. 16. The resurrection is thus clearly stated to have taken place on the first day of the week, not earlier as some have proposed (see on Matt. 28:1).
Mary Magdalene. See Additional Note on Luke 7.
Had bought. Rather, “bought.” In all probability these spices were purchased after sundown, on what we would call Saturday night, and were in addition to those that the women had prepared Friday (see Luke 23:56) and those that Nicodemus brought (see John 19:39).
