John 20:1

1. The Resurrection itself is left undescribed. Like all beginnings, whether in history or nature, it is hidden from view.

1. The evidence begins with the visit of women to the sepulchre in the early morning.

1. τ. σαββ. Τὰ σάββατα may mean either the Sabbath, on the analogy of names of festivals, τὰ ἐγκαίνια, τὰ παναθήναια, &c., or the week, as the interval between two Sabbaths: here literally, on day one of the week (Luke 24:1). S. John has not mentioned the stone; but he speaks of it as known, τὸν λίθον. S. Mark notes the placing of it, S. Matthew the sealing: all four note the displacement: ἠρμένον ἐκ, lifted out of.
