And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulcher at the rising of the sun.
All Commentaries on Mark 16:2 Go To Mark 16
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
St. Mark says very early, the sun being now risen, whereas St. John tells us that it was yet dark. But when St. Mark says the sun was risen, he means that it began, by its approach to the horizon, to enlighten the heavens, at which time there is still darkness remaining, (according to St. John) which decreases as light approaches the earth. (St. Augustine)
