Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;
And get this, some of the women who've been with us completely blew our minds. They went to the tomb super early this morning,
Sometimes the most incredible news comes from the people you least expect.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Luke, this verse occurs during a conversation on the road to Emmaus, where two disciples are recounting the events following Jesus' crucifixion to a stranger, who is actually the resurrected Jesus in disguise. They mention women from their group who went to the tomb early in the morning and were astonished to find it empty, as this was part of the reports of Jesus' resurrection. This highlights the cultural setting of first-century Judaism, where women's testimonies were often dismissed, yet God chose them as key witnesses to the empty tomb.
