Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 16:6-7

Mark 16:6-7 The Address of the Angel to the Women at the Sepulchre. These verses naturally divide themselves into two heads. The first head includes the information as given to the women; and the second, the commission with which they were charged. Note: I. The soothing character of the language which the angel employs; and the indirect yet forcible manner in which he recognises the devotedness which the women had displayed. "Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified."... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Mark 16:7

Mark 16:7 Love's Triumph over Sin. I. Notice the loving message with which Christ beckons the wanderer back. If we try to throw ourselves back into the Apostle's black thoughts, during the interval between his denial and the Resurrection morning, we shall better feel what this love-token from the grave must have been to him. His natural character, as well as his love for his Master, ensured that his lies could not long content him. They were uttered so vehemently because they were uttered in... read more

Scofield's Reference Notes - Mark 16:6

Ye seek Jesus ye seek -- the Nazarene, the crucified; He arose! He is not here! The tone is of triumph. Cf. Psalms 2:4. read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Mark 16:1-20

Chapter 16And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome [so we get these two Marys, who was, of course, standing afar off watching the crucifixion with them] had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him. And very early in the morning, the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun. And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? And when they looked, they... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Mark 16:1-20

Mark 16:1-8 . When the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene came very early in the morning to the sepulchre. See on Luke 8:2. All the circumstances mentioned in these eight verses claim particular notice. The women who came in two companies were five or six in number. Their errand was to do the decencies performed to illustrious persons. Their sole difficulty on the road was the rolling away of the stone. This, to their surprize, they found removed. They knew nothing of the guards watching on... read more

Mark 16:1-8And when the Sabbath was past.The Sabbath before the resurrection of ChristThere never was such a Sabbath on earth as that described here.1. To Jesus, our Divine Master, it was a Sabbath of silence. His ministry had closed His public career had ended. Love and hate, and want and weakness, were all outside, and Jesus was in the sepulchre.2. To the disciples it was a sabbath of grief. The heart had been torn out of their lives. This was the darkest sabbath they had ever known.3. To the... read more

Mark 16:5They saw a young man sitting on the right side.Perpetual youthVery remarkable that this super-human being should be described as a “young man.” Immortal youth, with buoyant energy and fresh power, belongs to angelic beings, and to the children of the resurrection, who are to be “equal unto the angels.” No waste decays their strength, no change robs them of forces which have ceased to increase. Age cannot wither them.I. The life of the faithful dead is eternal progress towards infinite... read more

Mark 16:6-7He is risen; He is not here.The words of an angelHere we have the first gospel sermon preached after the gospel had been finished on the cross, and sealed by the fact of the resurrection. Not a sentence that dropped from the speaker’s lips by accident; nor are its words mere words that came uppermost, as though some other words might have done as well. They hold the germ of which the preaching of all true evangelists is but the expansion.I. The first title under which Christ was... read more

Mark 16:7Tell His disciples and Peter.Love’s triumph over sinMatthew, who also reports the angel’s words, has only “tell His disciples.” Mark (the “interpreter” of Peter) adds words which must have come like wine and oil to the bruised heart of the denier, “and Peter.” To the others, it was of less importance that his name should have been named then; to him it was life from the dead that he should have been singled out to receive a word of forgiveness and a summons to meet his Lord; as if He... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Mark 16:7

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.
