Enemies Remembered, Friends Forgot
Commentators highlight a profound irony: Jesus' enemies remembered His promise to rise again, while His own disciples forgot. The priests' memory was fueled by fear and a desire to secure their 'victory,' whereas the disciples were paralyzed by grief. This shows how fear can have a better memory than sorrow and how even God's enemies can bear witness to His words.
