Luke 24:38

Then ¹  he said to them, “Why are you frightened, ²  and why do doubts ³  arise in your hearts?

Jer 4:14; Da 4:5,19; Mt 16:8; Heb 4:13

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

² tn Or “disturbed,” “troubled.”

³ tn The expression here is an idiom; see BDAG 58 s.v. ἀναβαίνω 2. Here καρδία (kardia) is a collective singular; the expression has been translated as plural in English.

sn Jesus calls the disciples to faith with a gentle rebuke about doubts and a gracious invitation to see for themselves the evidence of his resurrection.
