Augustine of Hippo, on Luke 24:1
Augustine of Hippo · A.D. 354–430
Luke 24:1 · Douay-Rheims
“And on the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared.”
On this verse:
“(de Con. Ev. lib. iii. c. 24.) Or Matthew by the first part of the night, which is the evening, wished to represent the night itself, at the end of which night they came to the sepulchre, and for this reason, because they had been now preparing since the evening, and it was lawful to bring spices because the sabbath was over.”
