11. For the time when he appeared; Now upon the first day of the week very early in the morning It was the first day of the week, the next day to their Sabbath; I shall speak more particularly to this in the next apparition; and it was very early in the morning; the apparition was early, but Mary's seeking Christ was so early that it was yet dark; she's going to the grave, when by course of nature she should have been in her bed; she sought him early whom she loved entirely: giving us to learn that we should seek Christ betimes,2 even in the days of our youth; that in these first days of the week, we should ri•e up early to enquire after Christ; they that will not seek Christ until they have given over seeking other things, may justly fear to miss Christ. First seek the kingdom of God, 3and his righteousness, and then (saith Christ) all other things shall be added unto you.
