Luke 24:3

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.

Ver. 3. Found not the body ] But the grave clothes only, John 20:6 . As Samson, shut up in Gaza, took the gates on his shoulders, and went his way in despite of his enemies; so did Christ here. These women came first, by a wonderful providence, before the apostles, to confute that impudent lie made by the priests, that the disciples had stolen away the body.
