- Luke 24:8 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
- Luke 24:8 sn On his words see Luke 9:22.
- Luke 24:9 sn Judas is now absent and “the twelve” have now become “the eleven.” Other disciples are also gathered with the remaining eleven.
- Luke 24:10 sn Mary Magdalene is always noted first in the appearance lists in the gospels. It is unusual that the first appearance would involve women as in this culture their role as witnesses would not be well accepted. It is a sign of the veracity of the account, because if an ancient were to create such a story he would never have it start with women.
- Luke 24:10 sn On Joanna see Luke 8:1-3.
