Lukas 24:1

The Resurrection

24:1 Now on the first day ³  of the week, at early dawn, the women ⁴  went to the tomb, taking the aromatic spices ⁵  they had prepared.

[23:54]  ¹ sn The day of preparation was the day before the Sabbath when everything had to be prepared for it, as no work could be done on the Sabbath.

[23:54]  ² tn Normally, “dawning,” but as the Jewish Sabbath begins at 6 p.m., “beginning” is more appropriate.

[24:1]  ³ sn The first day of the week is the day after the Sabbath.

[24:1]  ⁴ tn Grk “they”; the referent (the women mentioned in 23:55) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[24:1]  ⁵ tn On this term see BDAG 140-41 s.v. ἄρωμα. See also the note on “aromatic spices” in 23:56.
