And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath was coming on.
All Commentaries on Luke 23:54 Go To Luke 23
Cyril of Alexandria
AD 444
Wise women followed our common Savior Christ, gathering whatever was both useful and necessary for faith in him. When he gave his flesh as a ransom for the life of us all, they wisely committed themselves to care for his body. They supposed that the corpse would continue to remain in the grave. Commentary on Luke, Homily
