Luke 24:1-13 ESV

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:7

Saying, the son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men ,.... As Christ was, who is intended by the son of man, he being the son of David, and the son of Abraham, and the son of Adam, though he was the seed of the woman, and born of a virgin; he was truly man, and subject to the infirmities of men; for this is sometimes used as a diminutive expression, though a title of the Messiah in the Old Testament, and regards him in his state of humiliation. He was delivered into the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:8

And they remembered his words. That is, the words of Christ, as the Persic version expresses it; which they had forgot, and it may be had never truly understood until now; and had now their memories refreshed with them by the angels, and their understandings opened by the Spirit of God. Saints are sometimes apt to forget even the gracious promises of God, they have understood and received comfort from; the word, or words, on which they have been caused to hope, until the Spirit of God, who... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:9

And returned from the sepulchre ,.... Quickly, immediately, as soon as ever the angel had done speaking to them; they fled from the sepulchre in great haste, as persons frightened and amazed, with fear and reverence, on account of the vision they saw, and with joy at what was told them; see Matthew 28:8 and told all these things ; as that the stone was rolled away from the sepulchre: and that they found not the body of Jesus in it; that they had seen a vision of angels, who had told... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:10

It was Mary Magdalene ,.... Out of whom Christ had cast seven devils, who was a sincere penitent, a true believer in Christ, and an affectionate lover of him, and to whom he first appeared: and Joanna ; the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, one that had been a follower of Christ, and had ministered to him of her substance; see Luke 8:2 and Mary the mother of James ; called the less; and also of Joses, and Simon, and Judas, the brethren, or kinsmen of Christ; this Mary, being the wife... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:11

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... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:12

Then arose Peter ,.... Who, though he did not believe the report made, yet listened to it, and was alarmed and aroused by it, and was willing to know the truth of it: and ran unto the sepulchre ; not alone, but with John, being in haste to be satisfied, how things were: and stooping down ; See Gill on Mark 16:5 . See Gill on John 20:5 . he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves ; in which the body of Jesus was wrapped; these lay by themselves, without the body, in one... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:13

And behold two of them went that same day ,.... Two of the disciples, as the Persic version reads; not of the eleven apostles, for it is certain that one of them was not an apostle; but two of the seventy disciples, or of the society of the hundred and twenty that were together: one of these was Cleophas or Alphaeus, as appears from Luke 24:18 the other is, by some, thought to be Luke the Evangelist, as Theophylact on the place observes, who, out of modesty, mentions not his name; others... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1

Bringing the spices - To embalm the body of our Lord: but Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea had done this before the body was laid in the tomb. See John 19:39 , John 19:40 . But there was a second embalming found necessary: the first must have been hastily and imperfectly performed; the spices now brought by the women were intended to complete the preceding operation. And certain others with them - This clause is wanting in BCL, two others; Coptic, Ethiopic, Vulgate, and in all the... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:2

They found the stone rolled away - An angel from God had done this before they reached the tomb, Matthew 28:2 ; : On this case we cannot help remarking, that, when persons have strong confidence in God, obstacles do not hinder them from undertaking whatever they have reason to believe he requires; and the removal of them they leave to him: and what is the consequence? They go on their way comfortably, and all difficulties vanish before them. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:3

And found not the body of the Lord - His holy soul was in Paradise, Luke 23:43 ; and the evangelist mentions the body particularly, to show that this only was subject to death. It is, I think, evident enough, from these and other words of Luke, that the doctrine of the materiality of the soul, made no part of his creed. read more
