Luke 24:8

8 And they bethought on his words.

Luke 24:8 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:8

And they remembered his words.

Saints are sometimes apt to forget even the gracious promises of God, they have understood and received comfort from; the word, or words, on which they have been caused to hope, until the Spirit of God, who is their best remembrancer, puts them in mind of them.
