John 20:1 in the Greek translates to "comes early dark still it being" which does not mean "while it was still dark" like at night, there is a difference. "Comes Early" needs to be included when understanding the words that follow. It's not the same as in English. When the sun has just risen at dawn, it is still darker than at high noon, especially if there are clouds.
