Severian of Gabala, on Mark 16:1
Severian of Gabala · fl. c. A.D. 400
Mark 16:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalen, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought sweet spices, that coming, they might anoint Jesus.”
On this verse:
“(occ. ap. Chrysologum, serm. 82) The women in this place run abroad with womanly devotion, for they do not bring Him faith as though He were alive, but ointments as to one dead; and they prepare the service of their grief for Him as buried, not the joys of heavenly triumph for Him as risen.”
