Luke 23: 55-56 -- SH
The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph and saw the tomb and how his body was laid in it. 56 Then they went home and prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath in obedience to the commandment.
Those who loved Jesus saw that he had not been buried properly. They would remedy this, but it would have to wait till Sunday. The same faithfulness that led them to care for the body of their rabbi shaped their obedience to the Sabbath commands.
But
they forgot two things: (1) after a woman had anointed Jesus' feet
earlier that week with costly perfume, he declared that she had prepared
his body for burial; (2) he also declared that something surprising
would happen on the third day.....
