Luke 24:11

And their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not.

And {G2532} their {G846} words {G4487} seemed {G5316} to {G1799} them {G846} as {G5616} idle tales {G3026}, and {G2532} they believed {G569} them {G846} not {G569}.

But the emissaries didn’t believe them; in fact, they thought that what they said was utter nonsense!

But their words seemed like nonsense to them, and they did not believe the women.

And these words appeared in their sight as idle talk; and they disbelieved them.
