Luke 24:24 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:24

And certain of them which were with us
The apostles and brethren, who were together when the women came, and made the above report; particularly Peter, who is named, ( Luke 24:12 ) and John, who also was with him, as appears from ( John 20:2 ) these went to the sepulchre;
of Jesus, to satisfy themselves and their companions, as much as they could, about these things: and found it even so as the women had said;
that is, that the body of Jesus was not there, and that the linen clothes were laid by themselves: but him they saw not;
the Ethiopic version reads, "and him they found not": the women, as before observed, might report, that though they found not the body in the grave, yet they saw him alive by the way, but so did not the disciples; which made it look very strange, doubtful, and suspicious, that the women should see him, and not his apostles; they could not tell how to account for this, and this made them to be in suspense about the fact.

Luke 24:24 In-Context

22 But also some women of ours made us afeared, which before day were at the grave [which before the light were at the grave];
23 and when his body was not found, they came, and said, that they saw also a sight of angels [they came, saying, them also to have seen a sight of angels], which said, that he liveth.
24 And some [men] of ours went to the grave, and they found so as the women said, but they found not him [but him they found not].
25 And he said to them, A! fools [O! fools], and slow of heart to believe in all things that the prophets have spoken.
26 Whether it behooved not Christ to suffer these things, and so to enter into his glory?
