Bible Verses About Women: First at the sepulcher

So Joseph bought a linen cloth, took down the body of Jesus, wrapped it in the cloth, and placed it in a tomb that had been cut out of the rock. Then he rolled a stone against the entrance to the tomb.

Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joseph saw where His body was placed.

When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so they could go and anoint the body of Jesus.

Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they went to the tomb.

They were asking one another, “Who will roll away the stone from the entrance of the tomb?”

But when they looked up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, even though it was extremely large.

When they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

But he said to them, “Do not be alarmed. You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here! See the place where they put Him.

A great number of people followed Him, including women who kept mourning and wailing for Him.

But Jesus turned to them and said, “Daughters of Jerusalem, do not weep for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

But all those who knew Jesus, including the women who had followed Him from Galilee, stood at a distance watching these things.

The women who had come with Jesus from Galilee followed, and they saw the tomb and how His body was placed.

Then they returned to prepare spices and perfumes. And they rested on the Sabbath, according to the commandment.

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

While they were puzzling over this, suddenly two men in radiant apparel stood beside them.

As the women bowed their faces to the ground in terror, the two men asked them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?

He is not here; He has risen! Remember how He told you while He was still in Galilee:

‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again.’”

Then they remembered His words.

And when they returned from the tomb, they reported all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.

It was Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them who told this to the apostles.
