• CTD050 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.

    Matthew 28.1 (King James Version) :
    In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre.
    King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
