Purpose of the women's visit to the tomb
The article examines the Gospel accounts of the women's visit to Jesus' tomb, exploring their apparently different intentions. While Mark and Luke speak of spices, Matthew mentions visiting the tomb, and John focuses on its emptiness. Although the narratives appear divergent, they complement each other. Jewish burial practices help explain these differences.
