Luke 24:9

24:9 and when they returned from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven ⁴  and to all the rest.

[6:27]  ¹ sn Love your enemies is the first of four short exhortations that call for an unusual response to those who are persecuting disciples. Disciples are to relate to hostility in a completely unprecedented manner.

[23:30]  ² sn The figure of crying out to the mountains ‘Fall on us!’ (appealing to creation itself to hide them from God’s wrath), means that a time will come when people will feel they are better off dead (Hos 10:8).

[23:30]  ³ sn An allusion to Hos 10:8 (cf. Rev 6:16).

[24:9]  ³ sn Judas is now absent and “the twelve” have now become “the eleven.” Other disciples are also gathered with the remaining eleven.
