Contextual Overview

1 AND on the first day of the week, early in the morning, while it was yet dark, they came to the tomb, and brought the spices which they had prepared; and there were with them other women. 2 And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb. 3 And they entered in, but they did not find the body of Jesus. 4 And it came to pass as they were confused about this, behold, two men stood above them, and their garments were shining; 5 And they were afraid, and bowed their faces to the ground; and they said to them, Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He is not here, he has risen; remember that he spoke to you while he was in Galilee, 7 Saying, that the Son of man had to be delivered into the hands of sinful men,, and be crucified, and rise again on the third day. 8 And they remembered his words. 9 And they returned from the tomb, and told all these things to the eleven and to the rest. 10 They were Mary of Magdala, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the rest who were with them, who told these things to the apostles.

:-

and found not the body of the Lord Jesus; as they expected, having seen him put there, and had observed in what cave in the sepulchre, and in what form he was laid.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the notes at Matthew 28:1-11.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 24:3. And found not the body of the Lord — His holy soul was in Paradise, Luke 23:43; and the evangelist mentions the body particularly, to show that this only was subject to death. It is, I think, evident enough, from these and other words of Luke, that the doctrine of the materiality of the soul, made no part of his creed.
