Word Pictures in the New Testament - David Cox

Word Pictures in the NT [Luke: Chapter 24].
(lightning). The "men" had the garments of "angels."
24:5 {As they were affrighted} (\emphob•n genomen•n aut•n\).
Genitive absolute with second aorist middle of \ginomai\, to
become. Hence, {when they became affrighted}. They had utterly
forgotten the prediction of Jesus that he would rise on the third
day.
24:6 {He is not here, but is risen} (\ouk estin h•de, alla
•gerth•\). Another Western non-interpolation according to
Westcott and Hort. The words are genuine at any rate in Mr 16:6;
Mt 28:7. {The third day rise again} (\t•i trit•i h•mer•i
anast•nai\). See 9:22; 18:32,33 where Jesus plainly foretold
this fact. And yet they had forgotten it, for it ran counter to
all their ideas and hopes.
24:9 {From the tomb} (\apo tou mn•meiou\). Some documents omit
these words. This word for tomb is like our "memorial" from
\mimn•sk•\, to remind. {Told} (\ap•ggeilan\). It was a wonderful
proclamation. Luke does not separate the story of Mary Magdalene
from that of the other women as John does (Joh 20:2-18).
24:11 {As idle talk} (\h•s l•ros\). Old word for nonsense, only
here in the N.T. Medical writers used it for the wild talk of
those in delirium or hysteria. {Disbelieved} (•pistoun).
Imperfect active of \apiste•\, old verb from \apistos\, without
confidence or faith in. They kept on distrusting the story of the
women.
24:12 This entire verse is a Western non-interpolation. This
incident is given in complete form in Joh 18:2-10 and most of
the words in this verse are there also. It is of a piece with
many items in this chapter about which it is not easy to reach a
final conclusion. {Stooping and looking in} (\parakupsas\). First
aorist active participle of \parakupt•\, to stoop besides and
peer into. Old verb used also in Joh 20:5,11; Jas 1:25; 1Pe
1:12. {By themselves} (\mona\). Without the body. {To his home}
(\pros hauton\). Literally, "to himself."
24:13 {Were going} (\•san poreuomenoi\). Periphrastic imperfect
middle of \poreuomai\. {Sixty stadia} (\stadious hex•konta\).
About seven miles.
24:14 {They communed} (\h•miloun\). Imperfect active of
