Accompanied by the Risen Christ - Luke 24

The oldest description of the resurrection is 1 Corinthians 15:3-5. All four evangelists also tell about the events of Easter morning (Matthew 28:1-10, Mark, 16:1-8, Luke 24:1-12, John 20:1-10).

On the morning of the third day Luke 24:1-12

The first day after the Sabbath (verse 1) corresponds to our Sunday. The Sabbath ended on "Saturday evening" at about 6:00 p.m. The women went out in the evening to buy spices to anoint Jesus' body (Mark 16:1), but they did not go to the tomb until the next morning, at sunrise (Mark 16:2).

The heavy stone at the entrance to Jesus’ tomb had been rolled away, and the tomb was empty (verses 2-3). Angels (verse 24) announced that Jesus had risen from the dead (verses 4-6). The Greek literally says that Jesus was “raised”; this was a work of God, which is often expressed in the passive voice in the Bible (see also Romans 4:24-25, 8:11, 10:9, 1 Peter 1:21).
