ANGELIC ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE WOMEN ON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, THAT CHRIST IS RISEN--HIS APPEARANCES AFTER HIS RESURRECTION--HIS ASCENSION--TRIUMPHANT PROCLAMATION OF HIS GOSPEL. ( = Matthew 28:1-10, Matthew 28:16-20; Luke 24:1-51; John 20:1-2, John 20:11-29). (Mark 16:1-20)
when the sabbath was past--that is, at sunset of our Saturday.
Mary Magdalene--(See on Luke 8:2).
Mary the mother of James--James the Less (see Mark 15:40).
and Salome--the mother of Zebedee's sons (compare Mark 15:40 with Matthew 27:56).
had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him--The word is simply "bought." But our translators are perhaps right in rendering it here "had bought," since it would appear, from Luke 23:56, that they had purchased them immediately after the Crucifixion, on the Friday evening, during the short interval that remained to them before sunset, when the sabbath rest began; and that they had only deferred using them to anoint the body till the sabbath rest should be over. On this "anointing," see on John 19:40.
