Luke 24:46-47

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:44-49

A summary of some of the Lord ' s last words. The next six verses do not record sayings uttered the same first Easter evening. They are, in fact, a very brief summary of instructions given by the Master on different occasions during the forty days which elapsed between the Resurrection and the Ascension. In considering the reasons of the omission of any special reference to the Galilaean appearances of the risen Lord, two points must be borne in mind. St. Luke's knowledge of the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:44-49

The instruction of the apostles. The words contained in these verses are a summary of the instruction given by the risen Lord during the forty days in which he showed himself alive after his Passion. They are not to be regarded as the outline of only one discourse, following the appearance to the eleven recorded in the previous verses; they are rather the heads of the teaching which was imparted in the great period between the Resurrection and the Ascension. "We must suppose the evangelist... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:46

Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise. from the dead the third day. The majority of the older authorities omit the words, "and thus it behoved." The verse should be read thus: "Thus it is written that Christ should suffer," etc. These words probably were spoken on that first Easter evening. They were apparently repeated on several occasions during the forty days. The Old Testament—they would see now with the new light cast upon it—showed the necessity of an ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:47

The solemn charge. It is an allowable curiosity to wonder how the apostles of our Lord received this "their solemn charge." 1 . They must have been greatly impressed by its extreme seriousness; they were to preach repentance and remission of sin "among all nations. " And although they did not know as we do what that meant, and how wide was the range of the Saviour's purpose, they could realize as we cannot how deep and bitter would be the enmity which a gospel of the crucified... read more
