‏ Luke 24:12

This entire verse is a Western non-interpolation. This incident is given in complete form in Joh 18:2-10 and most of the words in this verse are there also. It is of a piece with many items in this chapter about which it is not easy to reach a final conclusion.

 Stooping and looking in ( παρακυψας ). First aorist active participle of  παρακυπτω, to stoop besides and peer into. Old verb used also in Joh 20:5, 11; Jas 1:25; 1Pe 1:12.

 By themselves ( μονα ). Without the body.

 To his home ( προς αυτον ). Literally, "to himself."
