    • 28:1

      Sabbath: Lit., “Sabbaths.” In this verse, the plural form of the Greek word sabʹba·ton occurs twice. In the first instance, it refers to a single Sabbath day, the seventh day of the week, and it is rendered “the Sabbath.” In the second instance, where it refers to a period of seven days, it is rendered of the week. The Sabbath day (Nisan 15) ended at sunset. Although some have understood Matthew’s account to refer to a time at dusk “after the Sabbath,” the other Gospel accounts clearly show that the women came to view the grave “early” in the morning on Nisan 16, “when the sun had risen.”​—Mr 16:1, 2; Lu 24:1; Joh 20:1; see also Glossary and App. B12.

      the first day of the week: That is, Nisan 16. For the Jews, the day immediately after the Sabbath was the first day of the week.

      the other Mary: See study note on Mt 27:61.
