Luke 24:1  "...they, and certain other women with them..." The women who had seen Him die and watched where He was laid.  They prepared their spices and ointments then rested on the Sabbath. 3  "...they went in..." The women went into the tomb when they discovered the stone rolled away. 4  "...two men stood by …

Luke 23:44  "...the sixth hour...darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour" Sixth hour of daylight approximately, starting at 6:00 am.  So this would be 12:00 noon until 3:00 pm.  Other gospel accounts tell us He was crucified at the third hour or 9:00 am.  Was on the cross for six hours total.  Some …

Luke 23:26  "...on him they laid the cross..." Some debate over whether the cross consisted of a full vertical and cross piece or just the cross piece.  Either way, it was a burden too great for Jesus to bear in His current physical condition. 28  "...Jesus, turning to them..."

Luke 22:39  "...as He was accustomed..." The garden area of the Mount of Olives was a common place for Jesus.  Probably the reason Judas knew He would be there. 41  "...about a stone’s throw..." Someone had to be awake long enough to know this and pass it on.  Only someone there would know. 42  "...if …

Luke 22:24  "...which of them should be considered the greatest" Greatest in Jesus's kingdom.  They figured He would conquer the Romans and set up His Messianic kingdom on earth as it was prophesied.  Surely since they were part of the twelve they would each have some high ranking position in His kingdom.  But who would …
