SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:1
¶ Y el primero de los sbados, María Magdalena vino de maana, siendo an tinieblas, al sepulcro; y vio la piedra quitada del sepulcro.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - John 20:1
Verse 1. The first day of the week] On what we call Sunday morning, the morning after the Jewish Sabbath. As Christ had been buried in haste, these holy women had bought aromatics, Mark xvi. 1; Luke xxiv. 1, to embalm him afresh, and in a more complete manner than it could have been done by Joseph and Nicodemus. John only mentions Mary of Magdala, because he appears to wish to give a more detailed history of her conduct than of any of the rest; but the other evangelists speak of three persons who went together to the tomb, viz. Mary of Magdala, Mary the mother of James, and Salome: Matt. xxviii. 1; Mark xvi. 1.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. The first day of the week , etc.] On the sixth day of the week, towards the close of it, Christ was interred; he lay in the grave all the seventh day, and on the first day of the week rose from the dead: so the women, after they had observed where the body was laid, went home and prepared spices and ointments, to anoint it; but the sabbath coming on, they were prevented; on which they rested, according to the Jewish law: but as soon as it was over, cometh Mary Magdalene ; not alone, but other women with her; who had attended Christ at the cross, observed where he was buried, and had prepared spices to anoint him, and now came for that purpose; for not merely to see the sepulchre, and weep at the grave, did she with the rest come, but to perform this piece of funeral service: early, when it was yet dark ; as it was when she set out, the day just began to dawn; though by that time she got to the sepulchre, the sun was rising: unto the sepulchre ; where she saw the body of Jesus laid by Joseph, in a tomb of his, and in his garden; by whose leave, it is probable, being asked over night, she with her companions were admitted: and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre : which Joseph rolled there, and the Pharisees sealed and set a watch to observe it. This was removed by an angel; for though Christ himself could easily have done it, it was proper it should be done by a messenger from heaven, by the order of divine justice, who had laid him as a prisoner there. Marys coming so early to the grave, shows her great love and affection to Christ, her zeal, courage, and diligence, in manifesting her respect unto him: and oftentimes so it is, that the greatest sinners, when converted, are most eminent for grace, particularly faith, love, and humility; and are most diligent in the discharge of duty.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-10 - If Christ gave his life a ransom, and had not taken it again, it woul not have appeared that his giving it was accepted as satisfaction. It was a great trial to Mary, that the body was gone. Weak believers ofte make that the matter of complaint, which is really just ground of hope and matter of joy. It is well when those more honoured than others with the privileges of disciples, are more active than others in the duty of disciples; more willing to take pains, and run hazards, in a good work We must do our best, and neither envy those who can do better, no despise those who do as well as they can, though they come behind. The disciple whom Jesus loved in a special manner, and who therefore in special manner loved Jesus, was foremost. The love of Christ will make us to abound in every duty more than any thing else. He that was behin was Peter, who had denied Christ. A sense of guilt hinders us in the service of God. As yet the disciples knew not the Scripture; the Christ must rise again from the dead.
