Commentary
4 notes on this verseon Luke 24:1-7
(Lib. de Inc. Fil. Dei.) He might indeed at once have raised His body from the dead. But some one would have said that He was never dead, or that death plainly had never existed in Him. And perhaps if the resurrection of our Lord had been delayed beyond the third day, the glory of incorruption had been concealed. In order therefore to show His body to be dead, He suffered the interval of one day, and on the third day manifested His body to be without corruption.

remember how he spake unto you
on Luke 24:6-8
He is not here, but is risen, remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, and the angels quote back to the women Jesus's own repeated prediction, the Son of man must be delivered, be crucified, and the third day rise again, a prophecy Luke recorded at 9:22, 9:44, and 18:31-33. The women remembered his words, the text says, the very thing the disciples on the Emmaus road have not yet done, and the bench notes this is the pattern for the whole chapter, that resurrection faith comes by being reminded of what Christ already said rather than by any new revelation. The angels do not argue the resurrection; they simply hold up the promise already given and let the empty tomb answer for itself.
The record, by era
The Church Fathers1 voice
For the same thing was said by the angels to the women: "Remember how He spake unto you when He was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of man must be delivered up, and be crucified, and on the third day rise again." "Must be delivered up; "and why, except that it was so written by God the Creator?
The Puritans and the Awakening1 voice
Remember how he spake to you, saying, The Son of man must be delivered - This is only a repetition of the words which our Lord had spoken to them before his passion But it is observable, he never styles himself the Son of man after his resurrection.
