Luke 24:1

On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, the women came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared.

2 They found the stone rolled away from the tomb,

3 but when they entered, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
