22. TRUSTING BELIEF

ἠγέρθη. Was raised. Comp. John 21:14; Acts 3:15; Acts 4:10; Acts 5:30. They recollected it when the event which explained it took place; meanwhile what had not been understood had been forgotten. Would any but a disciple give these details about the disciples’ thoughts? See on John 2:11.

τῇ γραφῇ. Not εἰς τὴν γραφήν: they believed what the Scripture (Psalms 16:10) said. See on John 1:12. Ἡγραφή commonly means a particular passage (John 7:38; John 7:42; John 10:35; John 13:18; John 19:24; John 19:28; John 19:36-37; Mark 12:10; Luke 4:21; Acts 8:32; Acts 8:35), whereas αἱ γραφαί means Scripture generally (John 5:39; Matthew 21:42; Matthew 22:29; Matthew 26:54; Matthew 26:56; Mark 12:24, &c.) Of course only the O.T. can be meant.

εἶπεν. Spake, on this occasion.
