This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
22. TRUSTING BELIEF
ἠγέρθη. Was raised. Comp. Joh 21:14; Act 3:15; Act 4:10; Act 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 Joh 2:11.
τῇ γραφῇ. Not εἰς τὴν γραφήν: they believed what the Scripture (Psa 16:10) said. See on Joh 1:12. Ἡγραφή commonly means a particular passage (Joh 7:38; Joh 7:42, Joh 10:35, Joh 13:18, Joh 19:24; Joh 19:28; Joh 19:36-37; Mar 12:10; Luk 4:21; Act 8:32; Act 8:35), whereas αἱ γραφαί means Scripture generally (Joh 5:39; Mat 21:42; Mat 22:29; Mat 26:54; Mat 26:56; Mar 12:24, &c.) Of course only the O.T. can be meant.
εἶπεν. Spake, on this occasion.
