Luke 24:9. And told all these things. Comp. Mark 16:8. The accounts, despite the variations, complement each other. Their doubt is brought forward there where the command is mentioned, here where nothing is said of the command we have the final obedience, which however followed the appearance of Jesus Himself to them as they returned. Luke says nothing of this latter. Why, we cannot tell, in the absence of further information. Taking the chapter as a whole, it would seem that Luke's account was derived from one of the two disciples mentioned in Luke 24:13-35, who had left Jerusalem before obtaining all the particulars, and that we have here a portrayal of the successive events as they came before his mind. Notice the marked agreement between Luke 24:9-12; Luke 24:22-24.

All the rest, i.e., of Jesus' followers. Peculiar to Luke, and in close connection with the subsequent incidents.
