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 how also the chief priests and our rulers did deliver him up to a judgment of death, and crucified him;

21 and we were hoping that he it is who is about to redeem Israel, and also with all these things, this third day is passing to-day, since these things happened.

22 `And certain women of ours also astonished us, coming early to the tomb,

23 and not having found his body, they came, saying also to have seen an apparition of messengers, who say he is alive,

24 and certain of those with us went away unto the tomb, and found as even the women said, and him they saw not.'
