Abstract :
The parallels between Luke 24,1, depicting women arriving early in the morning at the tomb to anoint Jesus’s body, and Plato’s Prot. 310a and Crito 43a, where disciples visit Socrates early in the morning, either at home or in prison, are striking. These resemblances, as well as the contexts in which they occur, suggest that Luke’s narrative may be directly influenced by Plato’s dialogues.
