Mark 16:2

And very early on the first day of the week, they come to the tomb when the sun was risen.

Mary Magdalene had already made one visit to the tomb quite a bit earlier "while it was yet dark" (John 20:1); and, being aware that the tomb was empty, she had told Peter and John. Nevertheless, after sunrise she returned to the tomb with the group who had brought spices. There are some elements of the sacred narratives of these events that cannot be fully catalogued as to time and personnel due to the brevity of the accounts regarding what must have been a day of exceedingly many episodes and involving at least hundreds of people. As Cranfield said:

It would be suspicious, if just here everything agreed exactly. The discrepancies (this student likes the word VARIATIONS instead of DISCREPANCIES - J.B.C.) are at least evidence that we have not to do here with a piece of carefully concerted deceit.[2]
