This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The first day of the week (πρώτῃ σαββάτου)
A phrase which Mark does not use. In Mar 16:2 of this chapter it is μιᾶς σαββάτων
Out of whom he had cast seven devils
With Mark's well-known habit of particularizing, it is somewhat singular that this circumstance was not mentioned in either of the three previous allusions to Mary (Mar 15:40, Mar 15:47; Mar 16:1).
Out of whom (ἀφ' ἧς)
An unusual expression. Mark habitually uses the preposition ἐκ in this connection (Mar 1:25, Mar 1:26; Mar 5:8; Mar 7:26, Mar 7:29; Mar 9:25). Moreover, ἀπὸ, from, is used with ἐκβάλλειν, cast out, nowhere else in the New Testament. The peculiarity is equally marked if we read with some, παῤ ἧς.
