After Jesus rose from death. The Jews counted their Sunday from 6 P.M. Saturday (our time - see note on Acts 20:7); but they counted night first, then day ["A day has twelve hours, has it not?" (John 11:9)]. What Mark says identifies Jesus rising from death just at sunrise (as darkness becomes light), as the women are coming to the grave. He appeared first to Mary Magdalene. This shows that she had left the other women. See notes on John 20:11-18.

ANOTHER OLD ENDING. See comment at the end of Mark 16:8 on the two endings.

9.

The women went to Peter. See notes on Luke 24:8-12.
