Mark 16:6

Mark 16:6

The Pulpit Commentary · Joseph S. Exell and contributors · Public Domain

And he saith unto them, Be not amazed— μὴ ἐκθαμβεῖσθε, the same word—ye seek Jesus, the Nazarene, which hath been crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold, the place where they laid him; that is, here is the place where they laid him ( ἴδε ὁ τόπος).

St. Matthew () says, "Come, see the place where the Lord lay" ( δεῦτε ἴδετε τὸν τόπον). This seems to imply that the women actually entered the inner chamber, and saw the very place where the Lord lay.

Who does not see here how irrefragable is the evidence of his resurrection?
