Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 16:12

He appeared in another form - In a form unlike his ordinary appearance so much so that they did not at first know him. See the notes at Luke 24:13-31. “As they walked and went into the country.” To Emmaus, Luke 24:13. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Mark 16:12-13

Mark 16:12-13. He appeared in another form unto two of them, &c. Of which, see notes on Luke 24:13-33. And they went and told it unto the residue Namely, the same evening. Neither believed they them That is, some of them did not believe, though others of them did, who, though they had given little credit to the reports of the women, supposing they were occasioned more by imagination than reality; yet, as appears from Luke 24:34, when Simon declared that he had seen the Lord, they... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 16:12-13

162. On the road to Emmaus (Mark 16:12-13; Luke 24:13-35)That afternoon Jesus joined two sorrowful disciples who were walking from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus, but they did not recognize him (Mark 16:12; Luke 24:13-16). When they started to explain their sadness, they expressed surprise that their unknown companion had not heard about the crucifixion of Jesus. Their understanding of Jesus’ mission was not very clear, for they had hoped he would bring national liberation to Israel; but... read more

And after these things he was manifested in another form unto two of them, as they walked, on their way into the country.Unto two of them ... This is usually understood to be the same appearance as that recorded in Luke 24:13, the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.In another form ... has reference to the fact that Christ withheld his identity from them, so they at first did not recognize him. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 16:9-18

1. Three post-resurrection appearances 16:9-18These three accounts stress the importance of disciples believing what Jesus had taught, specifically that He would rise from the dead, with increasing urgency. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 16:9-20

B. the appearances and ascension of Jesus 16:9-20Many modern interpreters believe Mark ended his Gospel with Mark 16:8. [Note: E.g., Carson and Moo, pp. 187-90.] This seems unlikely to some others since if he did he ended it with an example of disciples too fearful and amazed to bear witness to the resurrected Jesus. Throughout this Gospel we have noted many unique features that appeal to disciples to serve God by bearing bold witness to Jesus, even in spite of persecution and suffering. They... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Mark 16:12-13

Jesus’ appearance to two men 16:12-13 (cf. Luke 24:13-32)This is a condensed version of Jesus’ appearance on the Emmaus road. The different (immortal) form in which Jesus appeared accounted in part for the failure of these men to recognize Him. The writer’s point seems to be the unbelief of the disciples again. Neither the report of an eyewitness nor a personal appearance opened these men’s eyes. God had to do that supernaturally, and He still does. read more

Mary the mother of James] lit. ’Mary of James,’ i.e. probably ’Mary daughter of James,’ or just possibly ’Mary wife of James.’ She is perhaps the same as Mary the mother of James and Joses, Mark 15:40.9-20. Conclusion of the Gospel. One uncial MS gives a second termination to the Gospel as follows: ’And they reported all the things that had been commanded them briefly (or... read more
