He was found guilty of blasphemy and sentenced to death by crucifixion. Jesus was crucified on a Friday, and his body was placed in a tomb. On Sunday morning, Mary Magdalene and several other women went to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ body with spices. When they arrived, they found that the tomb was empty. An angel told them that Jesus had risen from the dead.
