Mark 16:6

     6. 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).

Luke 18:37

Acts 2:22

     22-28. a man approved of God—rather, "authenticated," "proved," or "demonstrated to be from God."

      by miracles . . . which God did by him—This is not a low view of our Lord's miracles, as has been alleged, nor inconsistent with Joh 2:11, but is in strict accordance with His progress from humiliation to glory, and with His own words in Joh 5:19. This view of Christ is here dwelt on to exhibit to the Jews the whole course of Jesus of Nazareth as the ordinance and doing of the God of Israel [ALFORD].
