Luk_24:22-23. Nevertheless on this frustration of our hopes the following also has occurred, which has again aroused them, and still (Luk_24:24) has left them till now unfulfilled.

ἐξ ἡμῶν] from our company, ὡς ἡμεῖς πισταί, Euthymius Zigabenus.

ὄρθριαι] an Attic form, instead of which, however, the later ὀρθριναί (see Sturz, Dial. Mac. p. 186; Lobeck, ad Phryn. p. 51) is preponderatingly attested, and is, with Lachmann and Tischendorf, to be preferred.

καὶ μὴ εὑρ.] καὶ … ἦλθον, instead of carrying on the participial expression in conformity with γενόμεναι, continues with greater emphasis in an independent sentence.

καὶ ὀπτασίαν κ.τ.λ.] καί: and moreover, besides the fact that they found not the body.

οἳ λέγουσιν] indicative, the direct vision mingling in a lively manner with the oratio obliqua, Bernhardy, p. 299; Reisig, Conject. p. 226 f.

Luk 24:22 . ἀλλὰ καὶ γ . τ .: introducing another hope-inspiring phase of the story. ἐξέστησαν ἡ ., astonished us. ὀρθριναὶ : ὀρθρινός is a late form for ὄρθριος , and condemned by Phryn.; the adjective instead of the adverb = early ones, a common classical usage.

(22) Made us astonished.—The Greek verb is that from which we get our word “ecstasy,” taken transitively. Literally, they startled us.

Early.—Strictly speaking, at day-break, or early dawn.

And certain of them which were with us,.... The apostles and brethren, who were together when the women came, and made the above report; particularly Peter, who is named, Luk 24:12 and John, who also was with him, as appears from Joh 20:2 these

went to the sepulchre; of Jesus, to satisfy themselves and their companions, as much as they could, about these things:

and found it even so as the women had said; that is, that the body of Jesus was not there, and that the linen clothes were laid by themselves:

but him they saw not; the Ethiopic version reads, "and him they found not": the women, as before observed, might report, that though they found not the body in the grave, yet they saw him alive by the way, but so did not the disciples; which made it look very strange, doubtful, and suspicious, that the women should see him, and not his apostles; they could not tell how to account for this, and this made them to be in suspense about the fact.

Ver. 22. Made us astonished] When they should rather have believed without sciscitation; but that their hearts were yet still stupefied.

Certain women - See Mat 28:1-7; Joh 20:12.

It is plain from the relation of these two disciples, that they had whatsoever might conduce to a moral persuasion. They had the revelation of the word, from the mouth of Christ himself. They had evidences from the women, from the apparition of angels, from some among themselves, that his body was not there. The angels said he was risen. Why do they hesitate then? Why do they not believe? Is the fault in the perverseness of their wills? Had they no mind to believe, that the thing they had hoped, longed, waited for, was true? Certainly there was nothing they more desired. Let the patrons of the power of man’s will to believe, or perform any actions spiritually good, tell us (if they can) what could hinder these disciples actual believing the resurrection of Christ, but the impotency of their wills, God not yet pleasing to influence and assist their wills actually to believe what they had the greatest propensions and inclinations imaginable to have believed.

22. Certain women… made us astonished—Something strange has taken place, but not such as to answer our expectations. These women found not his body, indeed, and a vision of angels said “he is risen;” and some of our men went to the sepulchre and found no body.

22. ὀρθριναί. ‘At the dawn.’ The idiom by which a circumstance of time or place is expressed by an adjective is quite classical; comp. σκοταῖος ἦλθεν, δαῖτα τένοντο δειελινοί, Aeneas se matutinus agebat, &c. So in English poets we find “the nightly hunter,” “evening sheep,” &c. See my Brief Greek Syntax, p. 82. The Attic form of the word is ὄρθριος.

22.] ἀλλὰ καί, but, moreover—equivalent to ‘certainly, thus much has happened, that’.…

ὀρθριναί is the later form, for which the Attic ὄρθριαι has been substituted: see var. readd.

ἐξ ἡμῶν—‘disciples, as we are.’ The Apostles are distinguished presently as οἱ σὺν ἡμῖν, ver. 24.

22. ἀλλὰ καί “But, in spite of this disappointment, there is also this favourable item.”

ἐξ ἡμῶν: and therefore not wanton deceivers. With ἐξέστησαν comp. ἐξιστάνων Act 8:9: the trans. use is found nowhere else in N.T. There should perhaps be a colon at ἡμᾶς. To put a colon (AV.) or semicolon (RV.,) at μνηνεῖον implies that the being early at the tomb was the astonishing thing. Better “amazed us: having been early at the tomb and having failed to find His body, they came, saying,” etc. ὀρθρινός is a later form of ὄρθριος

Made us astonished [εξεστησαν] . Literally the verb means to put out of place; and so, to drive one out of his senses. Hence the A. V. is feeble. Rev., better, amazed us.

Early [ορθριναι] . Lit., early ones. Only here and Rev 22:16. Compare orqrov, dawn, ver. 1.
