Luke Chapter 24, Verse 38
From BibleWiki
38: και ειπεν αυτοις τι τεταραγμενοι εστε και διατι διαλογισμοι αναβαινουσιν εν ταις καρδιαις υμων
38: And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do
thoughts arise in your hearts?
38: And he said to them: Why are you troubled, and why do thoughts
arise in your hearts?
Why are ye troubled? Why are you alarmed or frightened?
And why do thoughts, &c. The word thoughts here means doubts or suspicions. It is used in this sense also in 1 Tim 2:8. The doubts which they had were whether he was the Christ. He reproves them for doubting this; for,
1st. The Scriptures had foretold his death;
2nd. He had himself repeatedly done it; and,
3rd. They had now the testimony of Peter that he had seen Jesus alive, and of the angels that he was risen. After all this evidence, Jesus reproves them for doubting whether he was truly the Messiah.
