Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of James and John were some of these women.

Then they went to prepare some sweet-smelling spices for his burial. But on the Sabbath they rested, as the Law of Moses commands.

All this time Mary Magdalene and the other Mary were sitting across from the tomb.

Some women in our group surprised us. They had gone to the tomb early in the morning,

Very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, carrying the spices they had prepared.

At daybreak the king got up and ran to the pit.
