Commentary on the Bible (1832)

Very early in the morning, - This was the time they left their own houses, and by the rising of the sun they got to the tomb.

But to visit the grave of one who had been put to death as a common malefactor, and to rise early to show honor to one whom their nation had despised, this was a mighty boldness indeed. Yet these are the kind of acts which show the difference between weak faith and strong faith — between weak feeling and strong feeling towards Christ.
