SEV Biblia, Chapter 16:3
Y decían entre sí: ¿Quin nos revolver la piedra de la puerta del sepulcro?
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 3. And they said among themselves , etc..] Either before they set out, or as they were going along: who shall roll us away the stone from the door of the sepulchre ? Which they saw was placed there by Joseph, or his orders: this was the only difficulty they had, that they were aware of; for they seem to know nothing of the sealing of the stone, and of the watch that was set to guard the sepulchre: things which were done on the sabbath day, on which they rested: for had they, in all likelihood they would never have attempted to have gone to it; the guard of soldiers would have been a sufficient discouragement: but all their concern was, how, and by whom, the stone should be rolled away, that lay at the door of the sepulchre; and perhaps their concern might be, not only on account of the largeness of the stone, as being too much for them to remove, but because such a stone defiled by touching it, according to the Jewish traditions f276 .
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Nicodemus brought a large quantity of spices, but these good women di not think that enough. The respect others show to Christ, should no hinder us from showing our respect. And those who are carried by holy zeal, to seek Christ diligently, will find the difficulties in their way speedily vanish. When we put ourselves to trouble and expense, from love to Christ, we shall be accepted, though our endeavours are no successful. The sight of the angel might justly have encouraged them but they were affrighted. Thus many times that which should be matte of comfort to us, through our own mistake, proves a terror to us. He was crucified, but he is glorified. He is risen, he is not here, no dead, but alive again; hereafter you will see him, but you may here se the place where he was laid. Thus seasonable comforts will be sent to those that lament after the Lord Jesus. Peter is particularly named Tell Peter; it will be most welcome to him, for he is in sorrow for sin. A sight of Christ will be very welcome to a true penitent, and true penitent is very welcome to a sight of Christ. The men ran with all the haste they could to the disciples; but disquieting fears ofte hinder us from doing that service to Christ and to the souls of men which, if faith and the joy of faith were strong, we might do.

3. Peculiar to Mark.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
16:3 {Who shall roll us away the stone?} (tis apokulisei hemin ton liqon;). Alone in Mark. The opposite of proskuliw in #15:46. In verse #4 {rolled back} (anekekulistai, perfect passive indicative) occurs also. Both verbs occur in _Koin_ writers and in the papyri. Clearly the women have no hope of the resurrection of Jesus for they were raising the problem (elegon, imperfect) as they walked along.
