- The Nature
of Christ's Resurrection, Samuel Willard, c. 1700.
- "The precise nature of Christ's resurrection consists of two things: there is something internal, the reunion of his soul and body, and external, his coming out of the grave after that reunion."
- From
Wesley's Notes.
- "Who shall roll us away the stone - This seems to have been the only difficulty they apprehended. So they knew nothing of Pilate's having sealed the stone, and placed a guard of soldiers there."
- From the
Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
- "In Mt 28:2 he is called "the angel of the Lord"; but here he is described as he appeared to the eye, in the bloom of a life that knows no decay. In Matthew he is represented as sitting on the stone outside the sepulchre; but since even there he says, "Come, see the place where the Lord lay" (Mt 28:6), he seems, as ALFORD says, to have gone in with them from without; only awaiting their arrival to accompany them into the hallowed spot, and instruct them about it."
- From The People's
New Testament, B.W. Johnson, 1891.
- "Observe that as Christ's first appearance is to Mary Magdalene (John 20:18), out of whom he had cast seven devils, so his special message is to Peter, who had denied him. A touching commentary on our Savior's saying that he came to save sinners."

Notes by Brian Stoffregen at CrossMarks.
- "It can be easy to "see" the risen Christ in a packed Easter Sunday worship service, or perhaps even in a sunrise or the spring flowers blooming; but where is the risen Jesus when the people return home -- to the drudgery of the same old things? The risen Christ has gone there ahead of them. They will see him."

Marginally Mark, by Brian McGowan, Anglican priest in Western
Australia.
- "Perhaps some of us out in the daily margins of life are where the women are as they approach the tomb: who is going to help us roll the stone away? What is the stone in our case? What's locking not Jesus but us in?"
- "The
Gospel of Mark from Beginning to End,"
James T. Dennison Jr. in Kerux: The Online Journal of Biblical
Theology (Reformed)
- "Mark begins and ends his gospel with schism-a division, a parting, a rending-the schism of the heavens (chapter 1: 10); the schism of the veil in the temple (chapter 15:38)."

Tim Geddert, Direction, 2004.
- "Of all the footnotes to be found in modern translations of the Bible, surely none are more puzzling (perhaps disturbing) than those that comment on the ending of Mark."

- "A hearing of the Markan text from the perspective of the hermeneutics of 'other' reveals startling insights into the gospel's meaning of the resurrection and its implications for a world that suspects the other."
