Mark 16:6

16:6 But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. ¹  He has been raised! ²  He is not here. Look, there is the place where they laid him.

Mark 6:1

Rejection at Nazareth

6:1 Now ³  Jesus left that place and came to his hometown, ⁴  and his disciples followed him.

¹ sn See the note on Crucify in 15:13.

² tn The verb here is passive (ἠγέρθη, hgerqh). This “divine passive” (see ExSyn 437-38) points to the fact that Jesus was raised by God.

³ tn Grk “And.” Here καί (kai) has been translated as “now” to indicate the transition to a new topic.

⁴ sn Jesus’ hometown (where he spent his childhood years) was Nazareth, about 20 miles (30 km) southwest of Capernaum.
