‏ Luke 24:9-12

Told ( απηγγειλαν ). It was a wonderful proclamation. Luke does not separate the story of Mary Magdalene from that of the other women as John does (Joh 20:2-18).

As idle talk ( ως ληρος ). Old word for nonsense, only here in the N.T. Medical writers used it for the wild talk of those in delirium or hysteria.

Disbelieved (pistoun). Imperfect active of απιστεω, old verb from απιστος, without confidence or faith in. They kept on distrusting the story of the women.

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.
