9 When they came back from the tomb, they told all these things to the Eleven and to all the others.
9 And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.
9 and returning from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
9 They left the tomb and broke the news of all this to the Eleven and the rest.
9 Then they returned from the tomb and told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest.
9 So they rushed back from the tomb to tell his eleven disciples-and everyone else-what had happened.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Luke 24:9
Commentary on Luke 24:1-12
(Read Luke 24:1-12)
See the affection and respect the women showed to Christ, after he was dead and buried. Observe their surprise when they found the stone rolled away, and the grave empty. Christians often perplex themselves about that with which they should comfort and encourage themselves. They look rather to find their Master in his grave-clothes, than angels in their shining garments. The angels assure them that he is risen from the dead; is risen by his own power. These angels from heaven bring not any new gospel, but remind the women of Christ's words, and teach them how to apply them. We may wonder that these disciples, who believed Jesus to be the Son of God and the true Messiah, who had been so often told that he must die, and rise again, and then enter into his glory, who had seen him more than once raise the dead, yet should be so backward to believe his raising himself. But all our mistakes in religion spring from ignorance or forgetfulness of the words Christ has spoken. Peter now ran to the sepulchre, who so lately ran from his Master. He was amazed. There are many things puzzling and perplexing to us, which would be plain and profitable, if we rightly understood the words of Christ.
