Luke 24:3 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:3

And they entered in
To the sepulchre, being invited, encouraged, and led on by the angel that sat upon the stone; for the Jews' sepulchres were built large enough for persons to go into; (See Gill on Mark 16:5) and found not the body of the Lord Jesus;
as they expected, having seen him put there, and had observed in what cave in the sepulchre, and in what form he was laid.

1 On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women took the spices they had prepared and went to the tomb.
2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,
3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

5 In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?
