Not very far away, some women were watching. Mary Magdalene was among them. Mary, the mother of the younger James and of Joseph, was also there. So was Salome.
The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed Joseph. They saw the tomb and how Jesus’ body was placed in it.Then they went home. There they prepared spices and perfumes. But they rested on the Sabbath day in order to obey the Law.It was very early in the morning on the first day of the week. The women took the spices they had prepared. Then they went to the tomb.They found the stone rolled away from it.
