Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 24:1

"But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came unto the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared." — Luke 24:1 (ASV)

Now upon the first day of the week.—See Notes on Matthew 28:1-4; Mark 16:1–4.

Very early in the morning.—The original has a more poetic form “in the deep dawn,” agreeing with “while it was yet dark.” The last clause, “certain others with them,” is not found in the best manuscripts, and may have been inserted by transcribers to bring in the second group, who are named in the other Gospels, but not in this.
