In the first part of this article we shall have a look at several features of this passage: discussion of the empty tomb, of the discrepancies between our several sources, and of the question whether Mark intended to end his Gospel with 16.8, we reserve for the second part.
According to all four Gospels women were the first to receive the news of the Lord's resurrection. According to Matthew, the Markan appendix and John it was also a woman or women who first saw the risen Lord, though Luke would seem to agree with Paul in representing Peter as the first to see Him. Is this precedence of women in the Easter narratives of the Gospels significant?

page 282 note 3 1 Cor. 15.5. Did Paul omit the women, because their testimony could hardly be expected to carry much weight with the Corinthians (cf. A. M. Ramsey, The Resurrection of Christ, p. 42)? Is it possibly a case of magnus dormitat Homerus—Paul himself indulging in ⋯νθρωπ⋯νη σoφ⋯α?

page 285 note 1 Barth's attitude to those who seek to bow the angels off the stage is clear enough from such a sentence as the following: ‘Eine geheimnislose, eine des Spiegeis der sich sclbst repräsentierenden Gottheit entbehrende und also eine engellose Frömmigkeit und Theologie wird sich im Grunde immer als eine gottlose Theologie erweisen’ (op. cit., p. 558).

page 285 note 3 This does not mean that in the central stretch of the Gospel history they are not present. Of course they are present as God's witnesses there most certainly, but they are like candles that are not noticed in the midday sun.
page 286 note 1 In this connexion it is interesting to contrast the relative success of paintings of the Crucifixion with the relative ineffectiveness of pictures of the Resurrection—e.g. Matthias Grünewald's Isenheim Crucifixion and Isenheim Resurrection.

page 289 note 1 Perhaps there is some support for this view in the fact that in 14.27–31 Christ's prediction of Peter's denials and His promise that He will go before them into Galilee come together.
