Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
He is not here; for he is risen, as he said--See on Luk 24:5-7. Come--as in Mat 11:28. see the place where the Lord lay--Charming invitation! "Come, see the spot where the Lord of glory lay: now it is an empty grave: He lies not here, but He lay there. Come, feast your eyes on it!" But see on Joh 20:12.
John Gill Bible Commentary
He is not here,.... In the grave, where he was laid, and these women saw him laid: he was dead, but is now alive; he was laid in the grave, but God would not leave him there, nor suffer him to see corruption: for he is risen, as he said; not stolen away, as the chief priests hired the soldiers to say he was; nor removed to another place, as Mary Magdalene first thought, when she found him gone; but he was risen from the dead, by the power of his Father, and by his own power, as he had before said he should. In one of Beza's exemplars it is added, "to you"; for the words that Christ said in Galilee, that he should be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and rise again, the third day, were said in the presence and hearing of these women, and to them, as well as to the disciples; see . This clause is left out in the Persic version: it follows, come see the place where the Lord lay; the Lord both of angels and men: the Syriac and Persic versions read, "our Lord". The Arabic and Ethiopic versions leave out the word "Lord", and only read "he". Christ, as the Son of God, lay in the bosom of his Father, and in the arms of his love, from all eternity; as mediator, he lay in the womb of God's purposes and decrees, being his elect, in whom his soul delighted; as man, he lay in the womb of the virgin; and, as an example to his people, he lay, when baptized, in the waters of Jordan; and as the language of the ordinance of the Lord's supper is, "come see my hands, and my feet"; that of baptism is, "come see the place where the Lord lay": but here it regards the grave, in which the body of Christ had been laid; and the women are invited by the angel to go along with him, into the sepulchre, to see the place where he had lain; to assure them the more of the truth of his resurrection, that they might, with their own eyes, see that he was gone, who before had beheld where, and how he was laid; as also to affect them with the condescending grace of Christ, in making his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; as well as to strengthen their faith in their discharge from sin and condemnation by Christ, who was risen for their justification; as also to let them see that the grave was perfumed and sanctified by him; and he was risen as the first fruits and pledge of them that slept.

"And Looking Up They See That the Stone Is Rolled back."- Mar 16:4
By G. Campbell Morgan0Faith in ChristResurrectionMAT 28:6MRK 16:4JHN 11:25JHN 20:7ACT 2:24ROM 10:91CO 15:55PHP 3:101PE 1:3REV 1:18G. Campbell Morgan emphasizes the significance of the resurrection of Jesus as depicted in Mark 16:1-20, focusing on the moment when the stone was rolled back from the tomb. He highlights the initial confusion of the women who came to anoint Jesus' body, only to find the tomb empty and the grave-clothes undisturbed, which confirmed His resurrection. Morgan argues that the resurrection is the central fact of Christianity, vindicating Jesus' teachings and transforming the meaning of the Cross for His disciples. He asserts that the resurrection cannot be proven by human reasoning but is known through faith, and it serves as the foundation for the Christian faith and the hope of eternal life. Ultimately, the rolling back of the stone signifies the triumph of love and the promise of redemption for all humanity.

He notes that Luke, while generally following Mark's order, includes moral teachings that are unique to his Gospel. Darby highlights the importance of understanding the genealogies and the context of Christ's ministry, particularly in relation to Israel's expectations and the establishment of the church. He concludes that the Gospels collectively reveal the nature of Christ's mission and the unfolding of God's plan for humanity.

Ryle emphasizes the fourfold witness to Jesus Christ as the Messiah, highlighting the testimonies of God the Father, John the Baptist, Christ's miraculous works, and the Scriptures. He points out that these witnesses collectively affirm Jesus' divine mission, yet many remain unmoved due to their unwillingness to believe. Ryle honors the faithful servants of Christ, like John the Baptist, and underscores the significance of miracles as evidence of Christ's authority. He also stresses the importance of the Scriptures in revealing Christ, urging believers to diligently search them for understanding. Ultimately, Ryle concludes that the heart's obstinacy is the true barrier to faith, not a lack of evidence.
