Luke 24:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:9

And returned from the sepulchre
Quickly, immediately, as soon as ever the angel had done speaking to them; they fled from the sepulchre in great haste, as persons frightened and amazed, with fear and reverence, on account of the vision they saw, and with joy at what was told them; see ( Matthew 28:8 ) ( Mark 16:8 )

and told all these things;
as that the stone was rolled away from the sepulchre: and that they found not the body of Jesus in it; that they had seen a vision of angels, who had told them, that Christ was risen, and had put them in mind of some words of his spoken to the disciples in their hearing in Galilee:

unto the eleven, and to all the rest;
of the disciples: not only to the eleven apostles, but the seventy disciples, and as many others as were assembled together, perhaps the hundred and twenty, ( Acts 1:15 ) . The Persic version very wrongly reads, "to all the twelve"; for Judas was not now one of them, nor alive; and Matthias was not yet chosen.

Luke 24:9 In-Context

7 saying, `The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men and be crucified, and the third day rise again.'"

8 And they remembered His words,

9 and returned from the sepulcher and told all these things unto the eleven and to all the rest.

10 It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James, and other women who were with them, who told these things unto the apostles.

11 And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.
