(6) Remember how he spake unto you.-The direct appeal to the memory of the women is peculiar to St. Luke, and shows us what does not lie on the surface of the Gospel history, that they, too, were among those to whom were uttered the prophecies of the Passion and the Resurrection of which we read in Luke 9:43-45. In the words of Matthew 28:6, "He is risen, as He said," we have an indirect reference of the same character.

Verses 6, 7. - He is not here, but is risen. These words were repeated in each of the angelic communications at the sepulchre. Remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. The angels here call to the women's memory the Master's former promises of the Resurrection. In SS. Matthew and Mark the angel bids them tell the disciples not to forget the appointed place of meeting in Galilee, referring to the Lord's words on the way from the "Last Supper" to Gethsemane (Matthew 26:32; Mark 45:28).

Luke 24:6 proclaims the historical, bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ. The empty tomb (“He is not here”) is the factual evidence; the declaration (“He has risen!”) is the gospel’s heartbeat. The angel urges the women—and every reader—to anchor faith in Jesus’ prior words (“Remember how He told you”) spoken long before events in Jerusalem (“while He was still in Galilee”). The verse calls us to confident trust: the Savior keeps His promises, death is defeated, and hope is alive for all who believe.
