<p>24:22<i> Further, certain women of our company amazed us, having been early at the tomb</i>-The disciples were &quot;astonished&quot; (Lk. 24:22) and &quot;marvelled&quot; (Lk. 24:12,41). The same two Greek words recur together in Acts 2:7,12, describing how the crowd to whom the disciples preached soon afterwards were likewise &quot;amazed and marvelled&quot;. Perhaps this was how and why the disciples (and Peter especially) could achieve such a rapport with that crowd- because they had experienced those very same feelings when their faith and understanding was so weak.</p>
