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 The chief priests and our rulers handed Jesus over to be sentenced to death. They nailed him to a cross.

21 But we had hoped that he was the one who was going to set Israel free. Also, it is the third day since all this happened.

22 "Some of our women amazed us too. Early this morning they went to the tomb.

23 But they didn't find his body. So they came and told us what they had seen. They saw angels, who said Jesus was alive.

24 Then some of our friends went to the tomb. They saw it was empty, just as the women had said. They didn't see Jesus' body there."
