Mark 16:6
Be not amazed ( μη εκθαμβεισθε ). The angel noted their amazement (verse 5) and urges the cessation of it using this very word.The Nazarene ( τον Ναζαρηνον ). Only in Mark, to identify "Jesus" to the women.
The crucified one ( τον εσταυρωμενον ). This also in Mt 28:5. This description of his shame has become his crown of glory, for Paul (Gal 6:14), and for all who look to the Crucified and Risen Christ as Saviour and Lord. He is risen ( ηγερθη ). First aorist passive indicative, the simple fact. In 1Co 15:4 Paul uses the perfect passive indicative εγηγερτα to emphasize the permanent state that Jesus remains risen.
Behold the place ( ιδε ο τοπος ). Here ιδε is used as an interjection with no effect on the case (nominative). In Mt 28:6 ιδετε is the verb with the accusative. See Robertson, Grammar, p. 302.
