John 19:38-40 – Afterward, Joseph of Arimathea, who was a disciple of
Jesus (but secretly for fear of the Jews), asked Pilate to let him
remove the body of Jesus. Pilate gave him permission, so he came and
removed His body. Nicodemus, who had previously come to Jesus at
night, also brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, a hundred litras. So
they took the body of Jesus and wrapped it in linen cloths with the
spices, according to the Jewish burial custom.
I know there are similar questions on the topic, which I have read through carefully, but I have a specific follow up question: How could Nicodemus go later after Mary etc, left when those accounts say the stone was put in place before they left?
How could anyone have gone back in to anoint the body when the stone had been put in place?
The plausible answer people suggest for the women going back to prepare the oils was that they thought it wasn’t done…and that they went back later… Can anyone provide further thoughts on this specific question?
