AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 24:1 ¶ But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, the women went to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared [to finish anointing the body]. [Matt 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-8; John 20:1-8] |
Bible Question: Why did they wait until the first day of the week? |
Bible Answer: Hi, Sand... Welcome to the forum! It wasn't a matter of waiting, rather the women got there at the soonest opportunity -- at daybreak per Mark 16:2. They had to travel from the city to the sepulchre, but before that they had to obtain and prepare the proper spices for embalming. Neither of these activities could begin for Jews until sunset on Saturday, the end of Sabbath. Indeed, it is quite possible that they were working on these preparations all the night, then left as soon as possible, but still in the darkness, for the tomb. Therefore, rather than seeing the women's arrival as being an unnecessary delay, we ought to see their arrival as evidence of great haste. A haste borne of their devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ. In Him, Doc |
