Luke 20:39

20:39 Then some of the experts in the law answered, “Teacher, you have spoken well!”

Luke 24:22

24:22 Furthermore, some women of our group amazed us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

tn Or “some of the scribes.” See the note on the phrase “experts in the law” in 5:21.

sn Teacher, you have spoken well! The scribes, being Pharisees, were happy for the defense of resurrection and angels, which they (unlike the Sadducees) believed in.

sn The account in 24:1-12 is repeated here, and it is clear that the other disciples were not convinced by the women, but could not explain the events either.

tn In the Greek text this is a continuation of the previous sentence, but because of the length and complexity of the construction a new sentence was started here in the translation.
