Contextual Overview
1 but, on the first day of the week, at early dawn, unto the tomb, came they, bringing the spices which they had prepared. 2 And they found the stone, rolled away from the tomb; 3 but, when they entered, they found not the body . 4 And it came to pass, while they were perplexing themselves concerning this, that 1o! two men, stood near them, in dazzling raiment. 5 And, they becoming afraid, and bending their faces unto the ground, they said unto them - Why seek ye the Living One with the dead? 6 Remember how he spake unto you while yet he was in Galilee: 7 Saying, as to the Son of Man, that he must needs be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, - and, on the third day, arise. 8 And they remembered his sayings; 9 and, returning from the tomb, reported all these things unto the eleven, and unto all the rest. 10 Now they were the Magdalene Mary, and Joana, and Mary the mother of James; and, the other women with them, were telling, unto the apostles, these things.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And their words seemed to them as idle tales,.... As fabulous things, as mere whims, and the fancies of their brains: "as a dream", according to the Persic version; or, "as a jest", as the Arabic version renders it. They looked upon them as mere deceptions and delusions, and not real things; the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions read, "these words"; what they related concerning what they saw, and heard, at the sepulchre:
and they believed them not: for they had no thought, nor expectation of Christ's rising from the dead; they did not know that he was to rise again, according to the Scriptures; nor did they understand him when he told them of his rising again; and had no faith in it, nor hope concerning it, and could give no credit to it, when it was told them; and the Arabic version reads, "they did not believe it"; the word or report which the women delivered to them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
