EACH of the evangelists bears testimony to the diligence of the women in coming early to the sepulchre. Matthew says, “They came, at the end of the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week.” Luke, “They prepared their spices, and rested on the Sabbath, and came early the next day.” John, “They came the first day of the week when it was yet dark” (Matt. 28:1; Luke 24:1; John 20:1). It is only those who do things diligently and promptly that do things well.
See what the Lord says the Christian is to do diligently.
The italicised words denote that they are one and the same in the Greek.
The Blue Letter Bible ministry and the BLB Institute hold to the historical, conservative Christian faith, which includes a firm belief in the inerrancy of Scripture. Since the text and audio content provided by BLB represent a range of evangelical traditions, all of the ideas and principles conveyed in the resource materials are not necessarily affirmed, in total, by this ministry.
