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; he has been raised. Remember how he told you while he was still in the Galil,

7 `The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be executed on a stake as a criminal, but on the third day be raised again'?"

8 Then they remembered his words;

9 and, returning from the tomb, they told everything to the Eleven and to all the rest.

10 The women who told the emissaries these things were Miryam of Magdala, Yochanah, Miryam the mother of Ya`akov, and the others in their circle.
