Luke 24:38

‘And he said to them, “Why are you troubled? And for what reason do questionings arise in your heart?”

Then Jesus sought to soothe their nerves. He asked them why they were troubled. Had they not expected Him? Why were their hearts so full of questionings. Had He not promised through His angels that they would see Him? Although He had intended it to be in Galilee. But they had not heeded His directions (Mark 16:7; Matthew 28:7). And so here He was. No wonder He rebuked them for their unbelief, for in spite of His earlier teaching, they had not believed those to whom He had appeared (Mark 16:14), when really they should have been expecting Him (compare Luke 24:5).
