When therefore he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
The scripture - The Old Testament, which predicted his resurrection. Reference here must be made to Psalms 16:10; compare Acts 2:27-32; Acts 13:35-37; Psalms 2:7; compare Acts 13:33. They understood those Scriptures in a sense different from what they did before.
