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 chief priests and rulers had him condemned to death and crucified.
21 We were hoping that he was the one who would free Israel. What's more, this is now the third day since everything happened.
22 Some of the women from our group startled us. They went to the tomb early this morning
23 and didn't find his body. They told us that they had seen angels who said that he's alive.
24 Some of our men went to the tomb and found it empty, as the women had said, but they didn't see him."
