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
Bede
AD 735
Upon this most sacred early morning hour is bestowed great dignity from the glory of the Lord’s victory over death. For it was in the earliest inception of that day that the women became attentive in doing their service to their Lord. Speaking mystically, the night was already beginning to grow toward an emerging dawn. He who is the author and superintendent of time rose from the dead during the final part of the night. The whole of the emerging day is thus made a festival, brightened by the light of his resurrection.
