20:9 Why did the disciples not know that Jesus would rise from the dead after He repeatedly told them He would?
20:9 Why did the disciples not know that Jesus would rise from the dead after He repeatedly told them He would?
Although Jesus repeatedly told the disciples that He must first die and then be resurrected on the third day, the disciples did not understand, and would not accept it (CP Mt 16:21-23; Mk 8:31-33; 9:9-10, 31-32; 10:32-34; Lu 9:44-45).
It was not until after Jesus was resurrected that the disciples took the resurrection literally (CP Jn 2:22 with Psa 16:10).
