20:9 they did not understand the Scripture. Later, as a result of Jesus’ instruction, they understood His resurrection as a necessary fulfillment of prophecy (Luke 24:26, 27, 44–47; Acts 2:25–32; 13:35–37). Clearly the disciples did not expect a resurrection, or try to invent one in order to fit their own religious view. See “The Resurrection of Jesus” at Luke 24:2.
