Marcos 16:8

8 Y ellas se fueron huyendo del sepulcro; porque les había tomado temblor y espanto; ni decían nada a nadie, porque tenían miedo.

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 Más él les dijo: No os asustéis: buscáis a Jesús Nazareno a quien colgaron del madero; resucitado es, no está aquí; he aquí el lugar donde le pusieron.

7 Pero id, decid a sus discípulos y a Pedro, que él va delante de vosotros a Galilea; allí le veréis, como os dijo.

8 Y ellas se fueron huyendo del sepulcro; porque les había tomado temblor y espanto; ni decían nada a nadie, porque tenían miedo.

9 Mas como Jesús resucitó por la mañana, el primero de los sábados, apareció primeramente a María Magdalena, de la cual había echado siete demonios.

10 Yendo ella, lo hizo saber a los que habían estado con él, que estaban tristes y llorando.
