Luke 24:8 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:8

And they remembered his words.
] That is, the words of Christ, as the Persic version expresses it; which they had forgot, and it may be had never truly understood until now; and had now their memories refreshed with them by the angels, and their understandings opened by the Spirit of God. Saints are sometimes apt to forget even the gracious promises of God, they have understood and received comfort from; the word, or words, on which they have been caused to hope, until the Spirit of God, who is their best remembrancer, puts them in mind of them.

Luke 24:8 In-Context

6 He is not here, but has been raised! Remember how he spoke to you [while he] was still in Galilee,

7 saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of men [who are] sinners, and be crucified, and on the third day rise?"

8 And they remembered his words,

9 and [when they] returned from the tomb, they reported all these [things] to the eleven and to all the rest.

10 Now Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the [mother] of James and the others with them were telling these [things] to the apostles.
