Luke 24:22-24

24:22 Furthermore, some women of our group amazed us. ¹  They ²  were at the tomb early this morning, 24:23 and when they did not find his body, they came back and said they had seen a vision of angels, ³  who said he was alive. 24:24 Then ⁴  some of those who were with us went to the tomb, and found it just as the women had said, but they did not see him.” ⁵ 

[24:22]  ¹ 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.

[24:22]  ² 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.

[24:23]  ³ sn The men in dazzling attire mentioned in v. 4 are identified as angels here.

[24:24]  ⁴ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

[24:24]  ⁵ tn Here the pronoun αὐτόν (auton), referring to Jesus, is in an emphatic position. The one thing they lacked was solid evidence that he was alive.
