Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 24:9-12

Luke 24:9-12. They returned from the sepulchre To Jerusalem; and told all these things to the eleven Apostles, in the course, probably, of that morning, for it is not likely that they found them all collected together in one body; and to all the rest Namely, at different times. And their words seemed to them as idle tales, &c. Their Master’s crucifixion had given such a severe blow to their faith, that they had laid aside all the thoughts which they had entertained of his being... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 24:1-12

RESURRECTION AND ASCENSION161. Morning of the resurrection (Matthew 28:1-15; Mark 16:1-11; Luke 24:1-12; John 20:1-18)It is not surprising that there are differences in the accounts of what people saw on the Sunday morning when Jesus rose from the dead. The sight of the empty tomb and the heavenly messengers produced a mixture of reactions - excitement, joy, anxiety, fear, wonder. There was confusion as people rushed here and there to tell others. One writer records what he heard from some,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:9-11

Luke 24:9-11. And returned from the sepulchre, &c.— These words may be rendered, And returning back from the sepulchre, they told all these things to the eleven, and to all the rest; Luke 24:9. Now they who related these things to the apostles, were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James, and the rest with them, that is to say, of their company. As the account of the Galilean women begins in the foregoing chapter, and is carried on without any interruption to the 9th verse... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:1-12

H. The resurrection of Jesus 24:1-12 (cf. Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-8; John 20:1-10)Luke’s account of the events following Jesus’ resurrection stresses the reality of that event and the reactions of the witnesses to it. All these people felt depressed because of Jesus’ death, but when they learned of His resurrection they became joyful and praised God. Thus the book concludes as it began with joy and rejoicing because of a miracle involving the salvation of humankind (cf. chs. 1-2)."Luke 24 and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:8-9

The women now remembered the predictions they had heard but had not understood. The Resurrection had begun to clarify many things that Jesus had previously taught His disciples (cf. Acts 11:16). The women then returned to the Eleven and the other disciples with their news. The angels had been witnesses of the Resurrection to the women, and now the women were witnesses of it to the rest of the disciples. They in turn would be witnesses of it to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). Luke probably... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1-53

The Resurrection and the Ascension1-11. Two angels appear to the women at the sepulchre (Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-8: cp. John 20:1-2). See on Mt and Jn.12. Peter visits the sepulchre. See on John 20:3-10. This v. is wanting in some ancient authorities.13-35 The journey to Emmaus (Mark 16:12-13). Though alluded to in Mk, this beautiful narrative is peculiar to Lk. The conjecture of Theophylact that one of the two disciples was St. Luke still finds supporters, but is unlikely.13. Emmaus]... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 24:9-11

(9-11) To all the rest.—So Matthew 28:8 as to “the disciples,” as a wider term than “Apostles.” We may naturally think of many at least of the Seventy as being among the “rest.” read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 24:1-53

The Easter Message Luke 24:2 (with Mark 16:3-4 ) Very remarkable that none of the Evangelists attempt to describe the Resurrection itself. They tell us all the details on either side of the stupendous fact but it they leave all untold. Just where you might have expected mythical books to have gone off into rhapsodical accounts they are utterly silent. He rose in the early dawn of that morning, but when or how is all untold. Certainly if they are legend writers they are the strangest legend... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 24:1-53

Chapter 26THE FIRST LORD’S DAY.THE Sabbath came and went over the grave of its Lord, and silence reigned in Joseph’s garden, broken only by the mailed sentinels, who laughed and chatted by, the sealed sepulcher. As to the disciples, this high day is a dies non to them, for the curtain of a deep silence hides them from our view. Did they go up to the Temple to join in the Psalm, how "His mercy endureth forever?" Scarcely: their thoughts were transfixed to the cross, which haunted them like a... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Luke 24:1-53

VII. His Resurrection and Ascension CHAPTER 24 1. The Resurrection. (Luke 24:1-12 ) 2. The Walk to Emmaus; the Appearance of the Risen Son of Man. (Luke 24:13-35 ) 3. The Appearance to the Eleven. (Luke 24:36-45 ) 4. The Commission. (Luke 24:46-48 ) 5. The Ascension. (Luke 24:49-53 .) The account of the Resurrection in Luke’s Gospel has also its characteristic features. He alone reports the full account of the walk to Emmaus. It is a precious story showing forth the fact that the risen... read more
