John 20:1 places Mary’s arrival while it was “still dark.”

emphatic inclusion · rare
A smaller group extends a list or assertion to an additional, emphatic item. In Luke 14:26 the APB includes “still even his own life” after family relations, and Luke 1:15 says he will be filled with the Holy Spirit “even from his mother's womb.” Hebrews 11:36 likewise adds “even chains and imprisonment” to mocking and flogging.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly presents the adverb with “still,” especially for continuing speech, presence, distance, or conditions; it also uses “yet,” “more,” “again,” and “even” in other clauses. These renderings show the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed English equivalent.
