Notes

Luke 24:7

Jesus rose on the third day, counting Friday as the first day and Sunday as the third.

Luke 24:5–7

Jesus had told his followers many times that he would rise from the dead (see 9:22, 44; 17:25; 18:31–34). The resurrection of Jesus is a key belief of the Christian faith (see 1 Corinthians 15:3–7, 12–57).

Luke 24:1–12

Women were the first to find the tomb empty and to hear the announcement of the resurrection. This is strong evidence for the historicity of the resurrection accounts. In first-century Judaism, women were not regarded as reliable witnesses, so the church would never have created stories in which women discovered the empty tomb.
