Contextual Overview

13The same day, two of the cowboys who rode with Jesus were riding down the seven-mile trail from Jerusalem to Emmaus. 14They talked about everything that had happened that weekend. 15As they were talking, a cowboy came up and rode beside them. 16God kept the two from recognizing Jesus. 17He said, "Y'all seem to be in a deep discussion. What're y'all talking about?"They reined up, and he could see the sadness in their eyes. 18Cleopas said, "Are you the only one around here who hasn't heard what happened?" 19"What happened to cause such a stir?" Jesus asked."Jesus, the cowboy from Nazareth, the one who did so many miracles, the one who taught us so many things . . . he's what happened. 20The religious leaders had him killed. 21We all thought he was the Top Hand who would come and rescue God's people from the Romans. But he died three days ago." 22"Some women who have been with us who rode with Jesus went to the tomb this morning to prepare his body, but they came back with a tale too hard to believe.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And certain of them which were with us,.... The apostles and brethren, who were together when the women came, and made the above report; particularly Peter, who is named, Luke 24:12 and John, who also was with him, as appears from John 20:2 these

went to the sepulchre; of Jesus, to satisfy themselves and their companions, as much as they could, about these things:

and found it even so as the women had said; that is, that the body of Jesus was not there, and that the linen clothes were laid by themselves:

but him they saw not; the Ethiopic version reads, "and him they found not": the women, as before observed, might report, that though they found not the body in the grave, yet they saw him alive by the way, but so did not the disciples; which made it look very strange, doubtful, and suspicious, that the women should see him, and not his apostles; they could not tell how to account for this, and this made them to be in suspense about the fact.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Certain of them which were with us - Peter and John. See John 20:2-9.
