Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 16:1-20

Mark 16:1 Geiler of Kaysersberg said on this text: 'If thou desirest, like the three holy women, to anoint the dead Lord, thou must anoint Him inwardly, that is, thou must remember how for thy sake God died and for thy sake was raised again; thou must be willing to do what thou knowest to be the will of God and pleasing unto Him, for this ointment is nothing else but thy resolve to do God's will and that of none other. If thou hast thus spiritually anointed Christ our Lord in His own Person,... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Mark 16:1-18

Chapter 16CHAPTER 16:1-18 (Mark 16:1-18)CHRIST RISEN"And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, that they might come and anoint Him. And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb when the sun was risen. And they were saying among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the tomb? and looking up, they see that the stone is rolled back: for it was exceeding great. And entering into the tomb,... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Mark 16:1-20

CRUCIFIED AND RISEN The closing events in Mark’s Gospel: Jesus before Pilate (Mark 15:1-15 ); mocked by the soldiers (Mark 15:23 ); nailed to the cross (Mark 15:24-41 ); buried in the tomb (Mark 15:42-47 ); risen from the dead (Mark 16:1-18 ); ascended to heaven (Mark 16:19-20 ). As in other instances, Mark’s account of the trial before Pilate is the briefest while that of Matthew is the longest in the Gospels. The former, however, especially emphasizes the religious hatred of the people. He... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Mark 16:5-8

(5) And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. (6) And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. (7) But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you.

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Mark 16:5

St. Matthew says the angel was sitting on the stone, whilst St. Mark says that they saw him sitting on the right side of the sepulchre. This must not surprise us; for the angel which first appeared sitting upon the stone, might have been afterwards seen by him sitting on the right side of the sepulchre. (Theophylactus) --- Perhaps the angel mentioned by St. Matthew is different from the one mentioned by St. Mark. Or it may be understood, that the women entering the monument, which may mean the... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 16:1-8

1-8 Nicodemus brought a large quantity of spices, but these good women did not think that enough. The respect others show to Christ, should not hinder us from showing our respect. And those who are carried by holy zeal, to seek Christ diligently, will find the difficulties in their way speedily vanish. When we put ourselves to trouble and expense, from love to Christ, we shall be accepted, though our endeavours are not successful. The sight of the angel might justly have encouraged them, but... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Mark 16:1-99

Mark 16 LOVE AND FAITH were clearly there, but as yet their faith was dull and unintelligent as to His resurrection. Even the devoted women were full of thoughts as to the embalming of His body, as the opening verses of this chapter show. But this dullness of theirs only enhances the clearness of the proofs that ultimately overwhelmed them with the conviction of His resurrection. At the rising of the sun on the first day of the week they were at the sepulchre only to find that the great stone... read more
