Mark 16:9 YLT: And he, having risen in the morning of the first of the sabbaths, did appear first to Mary the Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven demons;

Mark 16:9 KJV: Now when Jesus was risen early the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

Is there anything to be made of this translation that Young's Literal translation uses: "first of the sabbaths"? I don't know Greek, but I can also see that the Greek word σαββατου (sabbaton) appears in this passage. Is this in any way alluding to the Sabbath being on the first day of the week with Christ's resurrection? I'm doubtful because only Young's seems to translate the passage this way.
