Luke 24:5-6

Context
24:5 The 1  women 2  were terribly frightened 3  and bowed 4  their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living 5  among the dead? 24:6 He is not here, but has been raised! 6  Remember how he told you, while he was still in Galilee, 7

[24:5]  1 tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

[24:5]  2 tn Grk “they”; the referent (the women) has been specified in the translation for clarity (the same has been done in v. 8).

[24:5]  3 tn Or “They were extremely afraid.”

[24:5]  4 sn Bowed their faces to the ground. Such respect for angels is common: Dan 7:28; 10:9, 15.

[24:5]  5 sn By referring to Jesus as the living, the angels make it clear that he is alive. There should be no surprise.

[24:6]  6 tc The phrase “He is not here, but has been raised” is omitted by a few mss (D it), but it has wide ms support and differs slightly from the similar statement in Matt 28:6 and Mark 16:6. Although NA27 places the phrase at the beginning of v. 6, as do most modern English translations, it is omitted from the RSV and placed at the end of v. 5 in the NRSV.

[24:6]  7 sn While he was still in Galilee looks back to the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. So the point is that this was announced long ago, and should come as no surprise.
