Luke 24:3 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:3

And they entered in
To the sepulchre, being invited, encouraged, and led on by the angel that sat upon the stone; for the Jews' sepulchres were built large enough for persons to go into; (See Gill on Mark 16:5) and found not the body of the Lord Jesus;
as they expected, having seen him put there, and had observed in what cave in the sepulchre, and in what form he was laid.
