Luke 24:2

24:2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb,

Luke 24:22

24:22 Furthermore, some women of our group amazed us. They were at the tomb early this morning,

tn Here δέ (de) has not been translated.

sn Luke tells the story of the empty tomb with little drama. He simply notes that when they arrived the stone had been rolled away in a position where the tomb could be entered. This large stone was often placed in a channel so that it could be easily moved by rolling it aside. The other possibility is that it was merely placed over the opening in a position from which it had now been moved.

sn The account in 24:1-12 is repeated here, and it is clear that the other disciples were not convinced by the women, but could not explain the events either.

tn In the Greek text this is a continuation of the previous sentence, but because of the length and complexity of the construction a new sentence was started here in the translation.
