Luke, in his account of the Saviour's burial, speaks of the women who were with Him at His crucifixion, and says: "They returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment." Luke 23:56.

I Lukasevangeliets beretning om Frelserens jordefærd fortælles om de kvinder, som var til stede ved Jesu korsfæstelse, at de vendte "tilbage og tilberedte vellugtende salver og olier; men sabbatten over holdt de sig stille efter lovens bud". Luk. 23,56.
