He is
not here, but
is risen
:
remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee
,

(24.6a)
“He … is risen.”
Jesus came back to life after being dead for a while.

(24.6b-7)
367 Did Jesus forewarn the apostles of his death and resurrection?

(24.6b)
“Remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee.”

7
Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.

(24.7)
“Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.”

8 And
they
remembered his words,

9 And returned from the sepulchre, and
told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

(24.8-9)
“They … told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.”
407 Did the women immediately tell the disciples?

10
It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women
that were with them, which told these things unto the apostles.

(24.10)
“It was Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and other women.”
402 How many women came?

11 And
their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

(24.11)
“Their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.”
When Mary Magdalene and the other women gave their account of the resurrection to the apostles didn’t believe them.

12 Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

(24.13-16) Two of Jesus’ disciples failed to recognize him after his supposed resurrection. Maybe that was because the person they saw wasn’t really Jesus.
408 To whom did Jesus first appear?

13 And, behold,
two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus
, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.

(24.13)
“Two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus.”

14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened.

15 And it came to pass, that,
while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.

(24.15)
“While they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them.”

16 But
their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

(24.16)
“Their eyes were holden that they should not know him.”

17 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?

18 And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?

19 And he said unto them, What things? And they said unto him, Concerning Jesus of Nazareth, which was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people:

20 And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

21 But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done.

22 Yea, and certain women also of our company made us astonished, which were early at the sepulchre;

23 And
when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.

(24.23)
“When they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seen a vision of angels, which said that he was alive.”
413 Did Mary Magdalene recognize Jesus?

24 And certain of them which were with us went to the sepulchre, and found it even so as the women had said: but him they saw not.

25 Then
he said unto them, O fools
, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken:

(24.25) “He said unto them, O fools.” The man (whoever he was) who talked with the two unnamed apostles on the way to Emmaus calls them “fools,” thereby making himself a candidate for “hell fire.” (Matthew 5.22)
297 Is it OK to call someone a fool?
