Lucas 24:11

11 Pero a los hombres el relato les pareció una tontería, y no les creyeron.

Lucas 24:11 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:11

And their words seemed to them as idle tales
As fabulous things, as mere whims, and the fancies of their brains: "as a dream", according to the Persic version; or, "as a jest", as the Arabic version renders it. They looked upon them as mere deceptions and delusions, and not real things; the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read, "these words"; what they related concerning what they saw, and heard, at the sepulchre:

and they believed them not:
for they had no thought, nor expectation of Christ's rising from the dead; they did not know that he was to rise again, according to the Scriptures; nor did they understand him when he told them of his rising again; and had no faith in it, nor hope concerning it, and could give no credit to it, when it was told them; and the Arabic version reads, "they did not believe it"; the word or report which the women delivered to them.

Lucas 24:11 In-Context

9 Así que regresaron corriendo de la tumba a contarles a los once discípulos y a todos los demás lo que había sucedido.

10 Fueron María Magdalena, Juana, María la madre de Santiago y varias mujeres más quienes contaron a los apóstoles lo que pasó.

11 Pero a los hombres el relato les pareció una tontería, y no les creyeron.

12 Sin embargo, Pedro se levantó de un salto y corrió a la tumba para ver por sí mismo. Agachándose, miró hacia adentro y vio solo los lienzos de lino, vacíos; luego regresó a la casa, preguntándose qué habría ocurrido.

13 De camino a Emaús
Ese mismo día, dos de los seguidores de Jesús iban camino al pueblo de Emaús, a unos once kilómetros
de Jerusalén.
