Bible Doctrine Study Guides Mark Chapter 16 16:1``And, the Sabbath being past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought aromatic spices in order that, having gone, they might anoint Him. 16:2``And very early in the morning on the first day of the week {Sunday morning}, they come to the tomb after sunrise. {Note: Jewish time, Sunday begins on Saturday night at sundown. So this is the middle of the Jewish Sunday and early in the Sunday morning of a Gentile day.} 16:3``And, they kept on saying among themselves, "Who will roll away for us the stone out of the door of the tomb?" 16:4``And, having looked up, they saw clearly that the stone, which was very large, was rolled back. 16:5``And, having entered the tomb, they saw a young man sitting on the right, clothed in a long, stately garment . . . white. And they were 'utterly amazed'/alarmed. 16:6``And, he said to them, "Stop being 'utterly amazed'/alarmed. Jesus you are seeking, the Jesus of Nazareth, the crucified. He was raised. He is not here. Behold, the place where they laid Him. 16:7`` But be going . . . say to His students/disciples and Peter that He is going ahead/before you into Galilee. You will find Him there . . . just as He told you." 16:8``And, having gone, they fled from the tomb . . . for there had come upon them a state of trembling and amazement, and they said not even one thing to anyone . . . because they were afraid. {Note: Verses 9:20 are not in the oldest and most reliable manuscripts.}
