Hence they afterward ask our Lord, “Wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?” Acts 1:6. It is quite unexpected, therefore, that his resurrection shall steal upon them, and be first announced to them by women. Nor, had the resurrection been a fable invented by these apostles, would they have made themselves so little the heroes of the history.
