24:11But these words seemed like pure nonsense28 to them, and they did not believe them.

Read in Logos

Footnotes

  1. 28 The term pure nonsense can describe idle talk or a tale. The point is important, since the disciples reacted with disbelief that a resurrection was possible. Sometimes it is thought the ancients were gullible enough to believe anything. But these disciples needed convincing about the resurrection.
