Gregory the Dialogist

Forty Gospel Homilies, Homily 21 (604)

But now let us hear what the angel adds: "You seek Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus in the Latin tongue means "salutary," that is, it is interpreted as "Savior." But indeed many at that time could be called Jesus, yet not substantially, but only nominatively. Therefore the place is also added, so that it might be made clear which Jesus is meant: "of Nazareth." And he immediately added the reason: "the Crucified One." And he added: "He has risen, He is not here."

Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Jesus of Nazareth - The Jews had given this name to Christ by way of reproach, Mat 2:23; but as it was under this name that he was crucified, Joh 19:19, the angel here, and the apostles after, have given him the same name, Act 4:10, etc. Names which the world, in derision, fixes all the followers of God, often become the general appellatives of religious bodies: thus Quakers, Puritans, Pietists, and Methodists, have in their respective times been the nicknames, given in derision by the world, to those who separated themselves from its corruptions.

Expository Thoughts on the Gospels: Mark (lightly modernized text, Grace Gems edition) (1857)

We may well believe that it required great courage to do this. To visit the grave in the dim twilight of an eastern day-break, would try most women, under any circumstances. But to visit the grave of one who had been put to death as a common malefactor, and to rise early to show honor to one whom their nation had despised, this was a mighty boldness indeed. Yet these are the kind of acts which show the difference between weak faith and strong faith — between weak feeling and strong feeling towards Christ.

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible (1871)

And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted--a stronger word than "Fear not" in Matthew (Mt 28:5). Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified!--"the Nazarene, the Crucified." he is risen; he is not here--(See on Lu 24:5, 6). behold the place where they laid him--(See on Mt 28:6).

The Ending of Mark — 16:9–20

The resurrection is already declared inside the undisputed text: the stone rolled back, the tomb empty, and the announcement in plain words, he is risen; he is not here. The message even names Peter.
