| The first day of the week - On what we call Sunday morning, the morning after the Jewish Sabbath. As Christ had been buried in haste, these holy women had bought aromatics, Mar 16:1; Luk 24:1, to embalm him afresh, and in a more complete manner than it could have been done by Joseph and Nicodemus. John only mentions Mary of Magdala, because he appears to wish to give a more detailed history of her conduct than of any of the rest; but the other evangelists speak of three persons who went together to the tomb, viz. Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome: Mat 28:1; Mar 16:1. |
1 In the end [1161] [3796] of the sabbath [4521], as it began to dawn [2020] toward [1519] the first [3391] day of the week [4521], came [2064] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094] and [2532] the other [243] Mary [3137] to see [2334] the sepulchre [5028].
2 And [2532], behold [2400], there was [1096] a great [3173] earthquake [4578]: for [1063] the angel [32] of the Lord [2962] descended [2597] from [1537] heaven [3772], and came [4334] and rolled back [617] the stone [3037] from [575] the door [2374], and [2532] sat [2521] upon [1883] it [846].
1 And [2532] when [1230] the sabbath [4521] was past [1230], Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094], and [2532] Mary [3137] the mother [3588] of James [2385], and [2532] Salome [4539], had bought [59] sweet spices [759], that [2443] they might come [2064] and anoint [218] him [846].
2 And [2532] very [3029] early in the morning [4404] the first [3391] day of the week [4521], they came [2064] unto [1909] the sepulchre [3419] at the rising [393] of the sun [2246].
3 And [2532] they said [3004] among [4314] themselves [1438], Who [5101] shall roll [617] us [2254] away [617] the stone [3037] from [1537] the door [2374] of the sepulchre [3419]?
4 And [2532] when they looked [308], they saw [2334] that [3754] the stone [3037] was rolled away [617]: for [1063] it was [2258] very [4970] great [3173].
34 For [1063] David [1138] is not [3756] ascended [305] into [1519] the heavens [3772]: but [1161] he saith [3004] himself [846], The LORD [2962] said [2036] unto my [3450] Lord [2962], Sit thou [2521] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188],
35 Until [2193] I make [302] [5087] thy [4675] foes [2190] thy [4675] footstool [4228] [5286].
1 A Psalm [04210] of David [01732]. The LORD [03068] said [05002] unto my Lord [0113], Sit [03427] thou at my right hand [03225], until I make [07896] thine enemies [0341] thy footstool [01916] [07272].
25 For [1063] David [1138] speaketh [3004] concerning [1519] him [846], I foresaw [4308] the Lord [2962] always [1223] [3956] before [1799] my [3450] face, for [3754] he is [2076] on [1537] my [3450] right hand [1188], that [3363] I should [4531] not [3363] be moved [4531]:
26 Therefore [1223] [5124] did [2165] my [3450] heart [2588] rejoice [2165], and [2532] my [3450] tongue [1100] was glad [21]; moreover [1161] [2089] also [2532] my [3450] flesh [4561] shall rest [2681] in [1909] hope [1680]:
27 Because [3754] thou wilt [1459] not [3756] leave [1459] my [3450] soul [5590] in [1519] hell [86], neither [3761] wilt thou suffer [1325] thine [4675] Holy One [3741] to see [1492] corruption [1312].
28 Thou hast made known [1107] to me [3427] the ways [3598] of life [2222]; thou shalt make [4137] me [3165] full [4137] of joy [2167] with [3326] thy [4675] countenance [4383].
29 Men [435] and brethren [80], let [2036] me [1832] freely [3326] [3954] speak [2036] unto [4314] you [5209] of [4012] the patriarch [3966] David [1138], that [3754] he is [5053] both [2532] dead [5053] and [2532] buried [2290], and [2532] his [846] sepulchre [3418] is [2076] with [1722] us [2254] unto [891] this [5026] day [2250].
30 Therefore [3767] being [5225] a prophet [4396], and [2532] knowing [1492] that [3754] God [2316] had sworn [3660] with an oath [3727] to him [846], that of [1537] the fruit [2590] of his [846] loins [3751], according to [2596] the flesh [4561], he would raise up [450] Christ [5547] to sit [2523] on [1909] his [846] throne [2362];
31 He seeing this before [4275] spake [2980] of [4012] the resurrection [386] of Christ [5547], that [3754] his [846] soul [5590] was [2641] not [3756] left [2641] in [1519] hell [86], neither [3761] his [846] flesh [4561] did see [1492] corruption [1312].
32 This [5126] Jesus [2424] hath [450] God [2316] raised up [450], whereof [3739] we [2249] all [3956] are [2070] witnesses [3144].
9 Therefore my heart [03820] is glad [08055], and my glory [03519] rejoiceth [01523]: my flesh [01320] also shall rest [07931] in hope [0983].
10 For thou wilt not leave [05800] my soul [05315] in hell [07585]; neither wilt thou suffer [05414] thine Holy One [02623] to see [07200] corruption [07845].
33 God [2316] hath fulfilled [1603] the same [5026] unto us [2254] their [846] children [5043], in that he hath raised up [450] Jesus [2424] again [450]; as [5613] it is [1125] also [2532] written [1125] in [1722] the second [1208] psalm [5568], Thou [4771] art [1488] my [3450] Son [5207], this day [4594] have I [1473] begotten [1080] thee [4571].
7 I will declare [05608] the decree [02706]: the LORD [03068] hath said [0559] unto me, Thou art my Son [01121]; this day [03117] have I begotten [03205] thee.
46 And [2532] said [2036] unto them [846], Thus [3754] [3779] it is written [1125], and [2532] thus [3779] it behoved [1163] Christ [5547] to suffer [3958], and [2532] to rise [450] from [1537] the dead [3498] the third [5154] day [2250]:
26 Ought [1163] not [3780] Christ [5547] to have suffered [3958] these things [5023], and [2532] to enter [1525] into [1519] his [846] glory [1391]?
9 For [1063] as yet [3764] they knew [1492] not [3764] the scripture [1124], that [3754] he [846] must [1163] rise again [450] from [1537] the dead [3498].
1 In the end [1161] [3796] of the sabbath [4521], as it began to dawn [2020] toward [1519] the first [3391] day of the week [4521], came [2064] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094] and [2532] the other [243] Mary [3137] to see [2334] the sepulchre [5028].
1 Now [1161] upon the first [3391] day of the week [4521], very early in the morning [3722] [901], they came [2064] unto [1909] the sepulchre [3418], bringing [5342] the spices [759] which [3739] they had prepared [2090], and [2532] certain [5100] others with [4862] them [846].
7 And [1161] upon [1722] the first [3391] day of the week [4521], when the disciples [3101] came together [4863] to break [2806] bread [740], Paul [3972] preached [1256] unto them [846], ready [3195] to depart [1826] on the morrow [1887]; and [5037] continued [3905] his speech [3056] until [3360] midnight [3317].
31 And [2532] came down [2718] to [1519] Capernaum [2584], a city [4172] of Galilee [1056], and [2532] taught [1321] them [846] [2258] on [1722] the sabbath days [4521].
1 Now [1161] upon the first [3391] day of the week [4521], very early in the morning [3722] [901], they came [2064] unto [1909] the sepulchre [3418], bringing [5342] the spices [759] which [3739] they had prepared [2090], and [2532] certain [5100] others with [4862] them [846].

1 In the end [1161] [3796] of the sabbath [4521], as it began to dawn [2020] toward [1519] the first [3391] day of the week [4521], came [2064] Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094] and [2532] the other [243] Mary [3137] to see [2334] the sepulchre [5028].
1 And [2532] when [1230] the sabbath [4521] was past [1230], Mary [3137] Magdalene [3094], and [2532] Mary [3137] the mother [3588] of James [2385], and [2532] Salome [4539], had bought [59] sweet spices [759], that [2443] they might come [2064] and anoint [218] him [846].

1 Now [1161] upon the first [3391] day of the week [4521], very early in the morning [3722] [901], they came [2064] unto [1909] the sepulchre [3418], bringing [5342] the spices [759] which [3739] they had prepared [2090], and [2532] certain [5100] others with [4862] them [846].
