Marcos 16:8 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 16:8

And they went out quickly
Out of the sepulchre, into which they had been, to see where Christ lay, as invited by the angel, ( Mark 16:6 ) . The word "quickly", is not read in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, Persic, and Ethiopic versions: "which when they heard"; that is, when they heard the angel's and instructions, immediately they went out:

and fled from the sepulchre;
as surprised and affrighted:

for they trembled and were amazed;
at what they saw and heard, and yet this dread and fear were mixed with joy at the news of Christ's resurrection, as Matthew relates, ( Matthew 28:8 ) .

Neither said they any thing to any man;
they met with by the way, till they came to the disciples; to whom they told all, otherwise they would not have acted according to the angel's orders

for they were afraid;
not only affrighted with what they had seen and heard, but the were afraid to tell any but the disciples of these things, for fear of the Jews; lest they should be thought to have stolen the body of Christ, and so be taken up on that account, and punished.

Marcos 16:8 In-Context

6 pero el ángel les dijo: «No se alarmen. Ustedes buscan a Jesús de Nazaret,
el que fue crucificado. ¡No está aquí! ¡Ha resucitado! Miren, aquí es donde pusieron su cuerpo.

7 Ahora vayan y cuéntenles a sus discípulos, incluido Pedro, que Jesús va delante de ustedes a Galilea. Allí lo verán, tal como les dijo antes de morir».

8 Las mujeres, desconcertadas, huyeron temblando de la tumba y no dijeron nada a nadie porque estaban muy asustadas.

9 Después de que Jesús resucitó el domingo por la mañana temprano, la primera persona que lo vio fue María Magdalena, la mujer de quien él había expulsado siete demonios.

10 Ella fue a ver a los discípulos, quienes estaban lamentándose y llorando, y les dijo lo que había sucedido.
