Jesus Rises from the Dead^(A)

16 The day after the Sabbath day, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought some sweet-smelling spices to ·put on [anoint] Jesus’ body.

⁵⁶ Then the women left to prepare spices and perfumes [^Cused to honor the dead and cover the stench of decay].

On the Sabbath day they rested, ·as the law of Moses commanded [^Laccording to the commandment].

³¹ This day was Preparation Day [^Cfor the celebration of Passover; 12:12], and the next day was a ·special [high; ^Lgreat] Sabbath day [^Cspecial because it occurred during Passover]. Since the ·religious leaders [^LJews] did not want the bodies to stay on the cross on the Sabbath day, they asked Pilate to order that the legs of the men be broken [^Cso they would die quicker] and the bodies be taken away [Deut. 21:22–23].
