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 Our leaders and the leading priests handed him over to be sentenced to death, and they crucified him.
21 But we were hoping that he would free Israel. Besides this, it is now the third day since this happened.
22 And today some women among us amazed us. Early this morning they went to the tomb,
23 but they did not find his body there. They came and told us that they had seen a vision of angels who said that Jesus was alive!
24 So some of our group went to the tomb, too. They found it just as the women said, but they did not see Jesus."
