Luke 24:10 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 24:10

8 And ^athey remembered His words.

9 ^aThen they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.

10 It was Mary Magdalene, ^aJoanna, Mary the mother of James, and the other women with them, who told these things to the apostles.

11 ^aAnd their words seemed to them like¹ idle tales, and they did not believe them.

12 ^aBut Peter arose and ran to the tomb; and stooping down, he saw the linen cloths¹ lying by themselves; and he departed, marveling to himself at what had happened.

The Road to Emmaus

13 ^aNow behold, two of them were traveling that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was seven miles from Jerusalem.

Luke 24:10-11

Three and a half years with Immanuel; three and a half years with God in the flesh, day in, day and night, day in and day out; in the night, sitting around fires, cooking their meals, talking, walking, interacting with, receiving instructions on a personal basis; and His resurrection, regardless of how many times He said it, seemed to them as idle tales.

It was too astounding—perhaps that is the reason. "Oh! This can't be!"

Now wait a minute! Had He not just resurrected Lazarus just a short time before? They already had a witness that it could be done. It happened right in front of their eyes! And their words seemed like idle tales.
