Mark THE INCREDULOUS DISCIPLES THE ANGEL IN THE TOMB PERPETUAL YOUTH Mar_16:5 . Many great truths concerning Christ’s death, and its worth to higher orders of being, are taught by the presence of that angel form, clad in the whiteness of his own God-given purity, sitting in restful contemplation in the dark house where the body of Jesus had lain. ‘Which things the angels desire to look into.’ Many precious lessons of consolation and hope, too, lie in the wonderful words which he spake from... read more

Mark THE INCREDULOUS DISCIPLES THE ANGEL IN THE TOMB Mar_16:5 - Mar_16:6 . Each of the four Evangelists tells the story of the Resurrection from his own special point of view. None of them has any record of the actual fact, because no eye saw it. Before the earthquake and the angelic descent, before the stone was rolled away, while the guards perhaps slept, and before Love and Sorrow had awakened, Christ rose. And deep silence covers the event. But in treating of the subsequent portion of... read more

Mark THE INCREDULOUS DISCIPLES LOVE’S TRIUMPH OVER SIN Mar_16:7 . This prevailing tradition of Christian antiquity ascribes this Gospel to John Mark, sister’s son to Barnabas, and affirms that in composing it he was in some sense the ‘interpreter’ of the Apostle Peter. Some confirmation of this alleged connection between the Evangelist and the Apostle may be gathered from the fact that the former is mentioned by the latter as with him when he wrote his First Epistle. And, in the Gospel... read more

Mark THE INCREDULOUS DISCIPLES Mar_16:1 - Mar_16:13 . It is not my business here to discuss questions of harmonising or of criticism. I have only to deal with the narrative as it stands. Its peculiar character is very plain. The manner in which the first disciples learned the fact of the Resurrection, and the disbelief with which they received it, much rather than the Resurrection itself, come into view in this section. The disciples, and not the risen Lord, are shown us. There is nothing... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Mark 16:1-20

the Power of His Resurrection Mark 16:1-20 In the dim light the women brave the dangers of an Eastern city and hasten to the grave. How often we seek Christ in the grave of old experiences or of dead and empty rites; and how often we cherish fears for which there is no occasion! In the grave where Christ had lain a young man was sitting, arrayed in a glistening robe; so out of death comes life. And one result of the Savior’s resurrection has been that myriads of noble youths, clothed in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Mark 16:1-20

How completely all His disciples had missed the meaning of His teaching concerning His own resurrection may be gathered from this story. The women were bringing spices to embalm His body. In spite of their failure, He provided for their reception when they came to the tomb. They found a heavenly visitor. Mark gives us a very condensed account of the Lord's sojourn on earth after His resurrection. There is a very beautiful revelation of His grace and love in appearing first to Mary Magdalene,... read more

The Wanderer's Return Mark 16:1-9 INTRODUCTORY WORDS The question of waxing lukewarm is one which is prominent before the minds of the churches. There are none, so far as we know, who believe it is impossible for a believer to wander away from God. There are many who realize to their sorrow that a large percentage of church members have wandered away. To say that all of these are saved would certainly be wrong. To say that none are saved would be just as erroneous. Christians may, and do... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Mark 16:6

THE INVISIBILITY OF THE RESURRECTION‘He is risen: He is not here: behold the place where they laid Him.’ Mark 16:6 Why did no man see Christ rise? The loving women were too late. He was gone. After the Lord was risen, an angel had rolled away the stone with an earthquake and was sitting upon it. The guards had fled; the sepulchre was open and empty. The Lord had risen and gone. None had seen Him rise.There is evidently a Divine beauty in the fact, and it has beautiful analogies. I. Why no man... read more

WHY ‘INTO GALILEE’?‘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.’ Mark 16:7 The angel first exhibited the wonderful spot: ‘Behold where they laid Him,’ and then immediately added, ‘But.’ That word is teaching. Do not stay in sentiment—pass at once to duty. Never let a thought of yours go to any grave you love without taking thence a call to some one practical duty.Why did Jesus go to Galilee at all after His... read more
