Exegesis
The relative clause par’ hes ekbeblēkei hepta daimonia {παρʼ ἧς ἐκβεβλήκει ἑπτὰ δαιμόνια | par hēs ek-be-BLE-kei hep-TA dai-MO-nia} is introduced by the preposition–relative pair “from whom,” with the pluperfect ekbeblēkei highlighting a prior completed act of exorcism that still characterizes Mary at the time of the appearance. This clause is explanatory, providing background that justifies her narrative prominence. In English, the participial opening is rendered as a finite verb plus temporal phrasing to maintain clarity, while preserving the emphasis on the timing (“early on the first day of the week”), the priority of Mary as first witness (“appeared first”), and the theological continuity between her earlier deliverance and her privileged role in witnessing the risen Christ.
In context — Mark 16:9
Now when He had risen early on the first day of the week, He appeared first to Mary the Magdalene , from whom He had cast out seven demons.
