2 And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.



Ver. 2. The first day of the week] ôçò ìéáò óáââáôùí , one of the sabbaths. So the first day of the world is called, Jom echad, one day; that is, the first day, Gen_1:5. For as that day was initial to the world, so the day of our Lord’s resurrection is the beginning of our glorification; as in that day light was produced, so Christ rising, the light of righteousness and joy is risen to us. (Gerb. in Harm. Evang.)
