Mark 16:1–2 Once the Sabbath is over (at sundown on Saturday evening), the women can buy oils for embalming of the corpse after sunrise on Sunday morning (the first day of the week). This occurred on the “third day” (see 8:31; 10:34).
Mark 16:5 they saw a young man. An angel. Luke 24:4 and John 20:12 give additional information and say there were two angels, but Mark and Matthew mention only one (see Matt. 28:2–5).
Mark 16:7 go, tell his disciples. In NT times, the testimony of women as witnesses was not always believed, especially in a court of law. After the initial encounters with the risen Jesus in Jerusalem, Galilee again served as a place of preparation (as Jesus had predicted in 14:28). Jesus thus avoided the possibility that the disciples might expect him to usher in a political, messianic kingdom in Jerusalem. However, see Acts 1:6.
Mark 16:8 they said nothing to anyone. Their silence would be only temporary (see Matt. 28:8).
Mark 16:9–20 “Longer Ending of Mark.” Some ancient manuscripts of Mark’s Gospel contain these verses and others do not. Early church fathers did not appear to know of these verses. Eusebius and Jerome state that this section is missing in most manuscripts available at their time. And some manuscripts that contain vv. 9–20 indicate that older manuscripts lack the section. As for the verses themselves, they contain various Greek words and expressions uncommon to Mark, and there are stylistic differences as well. Many think this shows vv. 9–20 to be a later addition. In summary, vv. 9–20 should be read with caution. As in many translations, the editors of the esv have placed the section within brackets, showing their doubts as to whether it was originally part of what Mark wrote. Most of the content of these verses is found elsewhere in the NT, and no point of doctrine is affected by their absence or presence. Verse 18 does not command believers to pick up serpents or to drink deadly poison; it merely promises protection if such a thing were to occur (see Acts 28:3–4; James 5:13–16).
