Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun. We often lose a great blessing by not rising early for devotion. While yet the flowers are wet with dew, it were well if our souls had the dew of heaven resting upon them.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun. There had already been another rising of the sun that morning, for the Sun of righteousness had risen; and, with his rising, our hopes had risen, and eternal life had come to light. These holy women proved their affection to their Lord...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher? A question that has puzzled many other people concerning many other things perplexed these holy women, yet there was no reason for the question to be raised at all. Peradventure, some of you are at this time distressed when there is no cause for...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. Which was, I suppose, the reason for their thinking about the stone but still, I cannot help reading it as a reason why it was rolled away. At all events, this was...

And they said among themselves, Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulcher? And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. Take comfort from this verse, you who are seeking to serve your Lord. There will be sure to be stones in your way, and some of them may be very great ones; but they...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away: for it was very great. And, therefore, hard to roll away; and, therefore, the more easily seen when it was rolled away; and, therefore, the greater cause for joy that it was rolled away. In the greatness of our troubles there may often be space for the greater display of the goodness...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. An angel had been allowed to assume the appearance of a man; that usually seems to be the way in which angels appear to men. I suppose there is, after all, a great kinship between angels and men; otherwise,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And entering into the sepulcher, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: They were afraid of an angel. “Conscience doth make cowards of us all,” and even good men and good women are apt to be afraid of anything celestial and bright. The...

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye such Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. Make sure, beloved, that you know the truth for yourselves,...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Why should they be affrighted? They had come to serve their Lord, and so had the angel, so there was no cause for fear. Those who love Jesus need never be afraid of angels; nor, for the matter of that, of devils either; for the Lord, whom they serve, will take care of them. Mar_16:6. Ye seek Jesus of...

Behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulcher; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they any thing to any man; for they were afraid. There was a mixture of joy...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they went out quickly, and fled from the sepulcher; for they trembled and were amazed: neither said they anything to any man; for they were afraid. But, after this, they summoned up courage, and did tell the story of their Lord’s resurrection.

; Mar_16:7. Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him. But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you. Does not that lent clause drop out very sweetly? Yet there is somewhat of a rebuke in it:...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. After that he appeared in another form unto two of...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. It has been a general tradition in the Church of Christ that Mary Magdalene was a great sinner; I do not feel sure that she was, but still, she is the type of a great sinner. The seven devils that were within her do...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils. Where grace had wrought its greatest wonders, there Christ paid his first visit: “He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.”
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. It is a curious “interior” that Mark here sketches, or rather stipples, with just a few touches. There are most of Christ’s disciples, who had been with him, sitting mourning and weeping over his death, and in comes Mary, and says that she has seen him alive.
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And she went and told them that had been with him, as they mourned and wept. And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. I can imagine that scone,-the weeping and mourning disciples, and this eager woman telling out her story, and telling it with evident truthfulness and deep pathos, but they believed...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they, when they had heard that he was alive, and had been seen of her, believed not. This was both cruel to the Magdalene and forgetful of their Master’s word, but unbelief is a very cruel thing. It is not only grievous to ourselves, but it acts in a shameful manner to Christian brethren and sisters, and worst of all is its treatment of our...
