Mark 16:2

Verse 2

2. First day of the week Sunday . Hence this day of the week was called the Lord’s day by St. John in Revelation 1:9. It is therefore recognized by inspiration as the sacred day in the Christian week. The day of the Saviour’s sepulchral repose was the last of Jewish Sabbaths. The first day of the week has from that time to this succeeded to the honours of the fourth commandment. Six days still shalt thou labour, but the seventh is the Sabbath of the Lord thy God. The first day of the old week is the decalogue’s seventh of the new. At the rising of the sun See note on Matthew 28:1.
