As it began to dawn. All the gospels mark the precious moment when
the great news first became known. Mark says they arrived at sunrise
(Mark 16:2). Compare Mark 16:1-8 Lu 24:1-11 Joh 20:1-21 1Co 15:1-20.
The first [day] of the week. The Lord's day, or Sunday.
Came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary. Mary, the mother of James
and Joses (Mark 15:47). Also Salome (Mark 16:1). Late on Friday
evening they had watched the sepulcher (Matthew 27:56). Now, after the
Sabbath, they came with spices in the hope that they could anoint the
body (Mark 16:1). These disciples would not break the Sabbath, even
to preserve the body of their beloved Lord. The Sabbath ended at
sunset, so that Jesus had been dead and buried Friday night, Saturday,
and Sunday morning, beginning at the previous sunset, three days
according to Jewish reckoning. See 1 Samuel 30:12-13 2Ch 10:5,12.
