Context of Luke 24:3

1On the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices they had prepared. 2They found the stone rolled away from the tomb. They went in but did not find the body of the Lord Jesus. 4While they were perplexed about this, suddenly two men stood by them in dazzling clothes. 5So the women were terrified and bowed down to the ground. “Why are you looking for the living among the dead?” asked the men.

Commentaries on Luke 24:3

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 3And found not the body of the Lord - His holy soul was in Paradise, Luke 23:43; and the evangelist mentions the body particularly, to show that this only was subject to death. It is, I think, evident enough, from these and other words of Luke, that the doctrine of the materiality of the soul, made no part of his creed.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1-12Verses 1-12 See the notes at Matthew 28:1-11.Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-12Women 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.Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1-12(See on Mr 16:1-8; and Mt 28:1-5). 5. Why, &c.--Astonishing question! not "the risen," but "the Living One" (compare Re 1:18); and the surprise expressed in it implies an incongruity in His being there at all, as if, though He might submit to it, "it was impossible He should be holden of it" (Ac 2:24).Read the comment
