Luke 24:21
Compare all
19 And He said to them, “What things?” So they said to Him, “The things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, awho was a Prophet bmighty in deed and word before God and all the people,  
20 aand how the chief priests and our rulers delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified Him.  
21 But we were hoping athat it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.  
22 Yes, and acertain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us.  
23 When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.
24 And acertain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see.”  
25 Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!
26 aOught not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His bglory?”

Luke 24:21

we trusted, etc.—They expected the promised Deliverance at His hand, but in the current sense of it, not by His death.

besides all this—not only did His death seem to give the fatal blow to their hopes, but He had been two days dead already, and this was the third. It is true, they add, some of our women gave us a surprise, telling us of a vision of angels they had at the empty grave this morning that said He was alive, and some of ourselves who went thither confirmed their statement; but then Himself they saw not. A doleful tale truly, told out of the deepest despondency.



Luke 24:17-24

communications, etc.—The words imply the earnest discussion that had appeared in their manner.
