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.

Luke 24:3 In-Context

1 But very early on Sunday morning the women went to the tomb, taking the spices they had prepared.
2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the entrance.
3 So they went in, but they didn’t find the body of the Lord Jesus.
4 As they stood there puzzled, two men suddenly appeared to them, clothed in dazzling robes.
5 The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?
