Dear Paul:
Your interlinear of Mark 16:2 reads: "They came to the cemetery as the sun was rising at early morning of the first day tof the week." That doesn't seem to tell us anything about exactly how much earlier or when the resurrection occurred.
Likewise Mark 16:9 has "At early morning of the first of the week he had risen...." That seems to be relating an event that had already occurred. Hence, we apparently cannot be certain from the text exactly when the resurrection occurred. It may have been on Saturday, but the women waited until after the sabbath to visit the tomb.
Am I missing something here?
Best regards,
Otto
