SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:4
Cuando miraron, ven la piedra revuelta; que era muy grande.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Mark 16:4
Verse 4. For it was very great] This clause should be read immediately after the third verse, according to D, three copies of the Itala, Syriac, Hier., and Eusebius. "Who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre? for it was very great. And when they looked, they saw that the stone was rolled away." They knew that the stone was too heavy for them to roll away; and, unless they got access to the body, they could not apply the aromatics which they had brought to finish the embalming.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 4. And when they looked , etc..] Towards the sepulchre, as they came near it: they saw that the stone was rolled away ; they perceived it lay at some distance from the door of the sepulchre, which doubtless was very grateful, and matter of rejoicing to them: for it was very great ; these words are to be read, in connection with the preceding verse; for they are not a reason, why when they looked towards the sepulchre, they saw the stone rolled, because it was a very large one, and so easily to be seen at a distance; but a reason why they were so thoughtful and concerned, who should roll it away for them, it being so big, that they could not think that they were able to do it themselves.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Nicodemus brought a large quantity of spices, but these good women di not think that enough. The respect others show to Christ, should no hinder us from showing our respect. And those who are carried by holy zeal, to seek Christ diligently, will find the difficulties in their way speedily vanish. When we put ourselves to trouble and expense, from love to Christ, we shall be accepted, though our endeavours are no successful. The sight of the angel might justly have encouraged them but they were affrighted. Thus many times that which should be matte of comfort to us, through our own mistake, proves a terror to us. He was crucified, but he is glorified. He is risen, he is not here, no dead, but alive again; hereafter you will see him, but you may here se the place where he was laid. Thus seasonable comforts will be sent to those that lament after the Lord Jesus. Peter is particularly named Tell Peter; it will be most welcome to him, for he is in sorrow for sin. A sight of Christ will be very welcome to a true penitent, and true penitent is very welcome to a sight of Christ. The men ran with all the haste they could to the disciples; but disquieting fears ofte hinder us from doing that service to Christ and to the souls of men which, if faith and the joy of faith were strong, we might do.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
16:4 {Looking up they see} (anableyasai qewrousin). With downcast eyes and heavy hearts (Bruce) they had been walking up the hill. Mark has his frequent vivid dramatic present "behold." Their problem is solved for the stone lies rolled back before their very eyes. #Lu 24:2 has the usual aorist "found." {For} (gar). Mark explains by the size of the stone this sudden and surprising sight right before their eyes.
