Mark 16:8 Cross References - JMNT

⁸ So coming out, they fled (= ran away) from the memorial tomb, for trembling and ecstasy (a being put out of place and normal standing; a displacement of the mind) continued holding them and [along the way] they said nothing to anyone, for they continued fearing (being affected by fear). [Codices Aleph and B and other witnesses end Mark here; Codices A, C, D, L and W, along with later MSS and witnesses contain the following:]

⁸ So, quickly going away from the memorial tomb while experiencing apprehension mingled with overwhelming (or: great) joy, they ran to report back to His disciples.

⁵ Next, upon entering into the memorial tomb, they saw a young man (or: a fresh, new one [or: person?]) continuing sitting down on [the places, or, furnishings] at the right, being a person having clothed himself with a bright, white, long flowing robe – and they were stunned from amazement. ⁶ Now he is then saying to them, "Stop being alarmed (or: Don't continue being utterly amazed). You are still looking for (trying to find) Jesus the Nazarene – the Man having been crucified (attached to an execution stake). He was aroused and raised up; He is not here. Look at (or: See and consider) the place where they put Him.

⁴ "Do not continue carrying a bag (belt; purse) for money, nor a food or beggar's pouch, neither sandals – and you should not embrace or greet anyone down along the path (road; way). [comment: be barefoot priests: treat the Land as holy; villages as temples – Bruce Chilton]

⁹ Later, after returning from the memorial tomb, they reported all these things to the eleven, as well as to all the rest. ¹⁰ Now they [i.e., these women] were the Magdalene Mary and Joanna and Mary, the one of (or: belonging to or related to) Jacob (or: James), as well as the rest of the women with them (= their companions). They, one after another, kept on telling these things to the folks that He had commissioned as emissaries (sent-forth ones; representatives), ¹¹ and yet these gush-effects (or: sayings; declarations) seemed (or: appeared) in their sight to be as if nonsense (or: wild talk; hysteria; or: a frivolous tale), and they continued putting no trust in them (i.e., the women; or: they were still not believing them; they were remaining without confidence in [the women]).

²² "Still, on the other hand, certain women from our group amazed us beyond comprehension, putting us out of place [in our thinking]! Coming to be at the memorial tomb early, ²³ "and then not finding His body, they came, also repeatedly saying to have looked on and seen a sight: an appearance of agents (or: messengers) who kept on laying out and explaining [the situation for] Him to be or to continue living! ²⁴ "And so, some of those with us set off [to come] upon the memorial tomb, and then found [it] thus, just as the women also said [it to be], but yet, they did not see Him.”

³⁷ Yet as [some] were being startled, while [other] were being terrified – then [all] were becoming ones in the grips of fear – they kept on supposing (imagining; assuming) to be presently watching (being a spectator of) a spirit or life-force.
