55 And the women xwho had come with Him from Galilee followed after, and ythey observed the tomb and how His body was laid.

In the Grave

56 Then they returned and zprepared spices and fragrant oils. And they rested on the Sabbath aaccording to the commandment.

The Resurrection

Matt. 28:1–8; Mark 16:1–8; John 20:1–10

24 Now aon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they, 1and certain other women with them, came to the tomb bbringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 cBut they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 dThen they went in and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4 And it happened, as they were 2greatly perplexed about this, that ebehold, two men stood by them in shining garments. 5 Then, as they were afraid and bowed their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, but is risen! fRemember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be gdelivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’ ”
