Robertson Word Pictures - Mark 16:6 - 16:6


(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Be not amazed (mē ekthambeisthe). The angel noted their amazement (Mar 16:5) and urges the cessation of it using this very word.

The Nazarene (ton Nazarēnon). Only in Mark, to identify “Jesus” to the women.

The crucified one (ton estaurōmenon). This also in Mat 28:5. This description of his shame has become his crown of glory, for Paul (Gal 6:14), and for all who look to the Crucified and Risen Christ as Saviour and Lord. He is risen (ēgerthē). First aorist passive indicative, the simple fact. In 1Co 15:4 Paul uses the perfect passive indicative egēgertai to emphasize the permanent state that Jesus remains risen.

Behold the place (ide ho topos). Here ide is used as an interjection with no effect on the case (nominative). In Mat 28:6 idete is the verb with the accusative. See Robertson, Grammar, p. 302.
