Commentaries on Mark 16:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1And anoint him - Rather, to embalm him. This is a proof that they had not properly understood what Christ had so frequently spoken, viz. that he would rise again the third day. And this inattention or unbelief of theirs is a proof of the truth of the resurrection.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1-8Verses 1-8 See this passage explained in the notes at Matthew 28:1-8. Mark 16:1 Sweet spices - “Aromatics.” Substances used in embalming. The idea of sweetness is not, however, implied in the original. Many of the substances used for embalming were “bitter” - as, for example, myrrh - and none of them, perhaps, could properly be called “sweet.” The word “spices” expresses all that there is in the original. Anoint him - Embalm him, or apply these spices to…Read the comment
- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 1Christ's resurrection made known the women. (1-8) Christ appears to Mary Magdalene and other disciples. (9-13) His commission to the apostles. (14-18) Christ's ascension. (19-20) Verses 1-8 Nicodemus brought a large quantity of spices, but these good women did not think that enough. The respect others show to Christ, should not hinder us from showing our respect. And those who are carried by holy zeal, to seek Christ diligently, will find the difficulties…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1At sunset, when the Sabbath day ended, the shops opened again. The women "bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus" (16:1). They intended to reduce the smell of the dead body. The women did not expect Jesus to resurrect from the dead. Even the empty tomb did not convince them of his resurrection (John 20:2, 11–15).Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-20The Resurrection Announced to the Women (Mr 16:1-8). 1. And when the sabbath was past--that is, at sunset of our Saturday. Mary Magdalene--(See on Lu 8:2). and Mary the mother of James--James the Less (see Mr 15:40). and Salome--the mother of Zebedee's sons (compare Mr 15:40 with Mt 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,"…Read the comment
