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 and how our chief priests and rulers handed him over to a sentence of death, and crucified him.

21 But we were hoping that he was the one who was going to redeem Israel. But in addition to all these [things], this [is] the third day {since} these [things] took place.

22 But also some women from among us astonished us, who were at the tomb early in the morning,

23 and [when they] did not find his body, they came back saying [they] had seen even a vision of angels, who said [that] he was alive!

24 And some of those with us went out to the tomb and found [it] like this, just as the women had also said, but him they did not see."
