Women Visit the Tomb
Spring A. D. 30
Dawn of First Day (Sunday,
"Lord's Day")
Near Jerusalem
Puzzling to me, the angel tells the women to tell the
disciples (and Peter! why single him out?), and Jesus a few seconds
later tells them the same thing - Meet him in Galilee. And yet the
same afternoon he meets them in their hideout in Jerusalem.
