Only five days before his death they had joined him in his triumphal entry into Jerusalem, when the common people hailed him with gladness and joy.

(Matthew 21:1-11) His death was so very sudden, so cruel, the shock so terrible, that the minds of these faithful disciples and others who loved him dearly were stunned.

They were truly overwhelmed with sorrow and grief.
He had been rudely snatched from them; unjustly tried, brutally condemned, and then subjected to the most ignominious death known to man, the death of the cross.
[252]Clearly in fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah above noted, Jesus was put to death as an evil one, thereby making his grave with the wicked; and he was laid in the sepulchre of a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph .-- Matthew 27:57.
[253]Little is said as to the doings of the disciples and their associates immediately following the crucifixion of Jesus when he was laid away in the tomb.

The good women went and "beheld where he was laid".

No doubt little else was done.
