Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 16:5

Mark 16:5. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw, &c.— The circumstance of the angel's being within the sepulchre, expressly mentioned by this apostle, is so far from being contradicted by St. Mat 28:2-7 as some infidels have imagined, that it is plainly implied by the words He is not here; come,—(δευτε,— which might more properly be translated, Come hither;) see the place where the Lord lay; as is also that other circumstance of the women's entering into the sepulchre, by the Greek... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 16:6

Mark 16:6. Be not affrighted— The speech of the angel to the women, in this and the next verse,informs them, in a concise and emphatical manner, of every particular that might satisfy their affectionate curiosity, and dissipate their fears; for they were afraid to ask him any questions. Mr. West has observed, that the appearance of an angel upon this occasion was highly proper, nay, we may almost say, necessary. Jesus had but two days before been put to death by the rulers of the Jews, as an... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 16:7

Mark 16:7. Tell his disciples, and Peter, &c.— St. Peter is particularly mentioned, because hehad most need of comfort, under the anguish of his mind on account of his late denial.—As this gospel is supposed to have been dictated, or at least revised by him, the addition of this circumstance implies the deep sense he had of the divine benevolence in sending this comfortable message to him, which gave him to understand, that though he had so basely denied his Lord, he had not entirely lost... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Mark 16:8

Mark 16:8. Neither said they any thing to any man;— If these words, agreeably to what we have observed on Mar 16:5 be construed to signify, that they did not tell, while their terror and amazement continued, what they had seen and heard to some whom they saw as they were flying from the sepulchre, it seems rational to conclude, that these were some of the disciples to whom they were ordered to deliver the message of the angel, and to whom they would probably have delivered it, had they not been... read more

5. And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man—In :- 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" ( :-), 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... read more

6. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted—a stronger word than "Fear not" in Matthew (Matthew 28:5). Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified!—"the Nazarene, the Crucified." he is risen; he is not here—(See on Matthew 28:5- :). behold the place where they laid him—(See on Matthew 28:5- :). read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Mark 16:7

7. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter—This Second Gospel, being drawn up—as all the earliest tradition states—under the eye of Peter, or from materials chiefly furnished by him, there is something deeply affecting in the preservation of this little clause by Mark alone. that he goeth before you into Galilee; there shall ye see him, as he said unto you—(See on :-). read more

8. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulchre: for they trembled and were amazed—"for tremor and amazement seized them." neither said they anything to any man; for they were afraid—How intensely natural and simple is this! Appearances of Jesus after His Resurrection ( :-). read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 16:4-5

Mark apparently included this story to impress the reader with the supernatural element represented by the angel. The women would have said to one another, "Who rolled the stone away? It must have been someone very strong." When they entered the antechamber of the tomb, they would have thought, "Who is this young man (Gr. neaniskos)? He must be very unusual." He appeared as a youth, but his strength and his unusual dress indicated that he was an angel (cf. Mark 9:3). He terrified the women."It... read more
