This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
She (ekeinē). Only instance of this pronoun (=illa) absolutely in Mark, though a good Greek idiom. (See note on Joh 19:35.) See also Mar 16:11, Mar 16:20.
Went (poreutheisa). First aorist passive participle. Common word for going, but in Mark so far only in Mar 9:30 in the uncompounded form. Here also in Mar 16:12, Mar 16:15.
Them that had been with him (tois met' autou genomenois). This phrase for the disciples occurs here alone in Mark and the other Gospels if the disciples (mathētai) are meant. All these items suggest another hand than Mark for this closing portion.
As they mourned and wept (penthousin kai klaiousin). Present active participles in dative plural agreeing with tois ̇̇̇ genomenois and describing the pathos of the disciples in their utter bereavement and woe.
