Lucas 24:11

11 Mas eles não acreditaram nas mulheres; as palavras delas lhes pareciam loucura.

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 Quando voltaram do sepulcro, elas contaram todas estas coisas aos Onze e a todos os outros.

10 As que contaram estas coisas aos apóstolos foram Maria Madalena, Joana e Maria, mãe de Tiago, e as outras que estavam com elas.

11 Mas eles não acreditaram nas mulheres; as palavras delas lhes pareciam loucura.

12 Pedro, todavia, levantou-se e correu ao sepulcro. Abaixando-se, viu as faixas de linho e mais nada; afastou-se, e voltou admirado com o que acontecera.

13 Naquele mesmo dia, dois deles estavam indo para um povoado chamado Emaús, a onze quilômetros de Jerusalém.
