Luke 24:22 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:22

Yea, and certain women also of our company
Who came with them from Galilee, who were of the same religion, professed the same faith, and belonged to the same society and community; who they were, and their names, see ( Luke 24:10 ) . made us astonished;
surprised us, with an account they brought, so that we could not, nor can we now tell, what to think or say of it; it is such an one, we know not how to believe, nor to disprove; it is we fear too good to be true, and should it be as they report, it is amazing indeed: which were early at the sepulchre;
of the person now mentioned, Jesus of Nazareth; even this very morning, by break of day, at least at sunrise, whither they went to anoint his body, thinking nothing at all about the resurrection of him.

Luke 24:22 In-Context

20 But our chief priests and our leaders handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him.
21 We had hoped he was the one who would redeem Israel. All these things happened three days ago.
22 But there's more: Some women from our group have left us stunned. They went to the tomb early this morning
23 and didn't find his body. They came to us saying that they had even seen a vision of angels who told them he is alive.
24 Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found things just as the women said. They didn't see him."
