Exegesis
The next clause ēgerthē ouk estin hōde {ἠγέρθη οὐκ ἔστιν ὧδε | ē-gér-thē ouk és-tin hô-de} uses an aorist passive, a classic divine passive implying God’s action in raising Jesus, followed by a simple existential statement “He is not here,” with the adverb hōde providing spatial contrast with the tomb.
In context — Mark 16:6
But he says to them, “Do not be amazed ; you are seeking Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has been raised; He is not here. See the place where they laid Him.”
