It’s Saturday, the day between the crucifixion and the resurrection (the disciples don’t know it yet).
Lost without hope, they thought he would be King, that he would lead them. Yet he was crucified and they all ran.
Lost without hope, they hide, pray, not knowing what to do.
We don’t know much about Saturday, we can only speculate as to what was happening and what was going on in the minds of the disciples.

Sunday morning in retrospect we are told the women are sent back to the disciples who were still confused and lost, not knowing what had happened. Almost as if they were hiding, they were afraid of being carried off themselves.

“Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
Matthew 5:17 NKJV
