Luke 24:34 KJV,NLT

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 24:34

(34) The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.—Of the manifestation thus referred to, we have no other record in the Gospels. It occupies, however, a prominent place in those which St. Paul enumerates (1 Corinthians 15:5), and takes its place among the phenomena which indicates St. Paul’s acquaintance with the substance of St. Luke’s Gospel. What passed at the meeting we can only reverently imagine. Before the Passion, the Lord had “turned and looked” on Peter with a glance of... 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

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1-53

HE IS NOT HERE. BUT RISEN (vs.1-12) Though these dear women came to the grave very early in the morning the first day of the week, they were too late. Mary of Bethany had anointed the Lord Jesus before His death, and she had done this in view of His burial (John 12:7). Others perhaps had lesser intelligence, though no less love for Him. Elsewhere we read that the women had questioned among themselves as to who might roll the stone away from the grave (Mark 16:3), that they might anoint Him;... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Luke 24:1-53

FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK The order of our Lord’s appearances on this day was given in the comment on Matthew 28:0 , and need not be repeated. Indeed all of the events in the chapter were dealt with there, except the walk to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35 ). Three score furlongs represent nearly eight miles (Luke 24:13 ). Cleophas, one of the two on this journey is not met with elsewhere, and is to be distinguished from the Cleophas of John 19:25 . Luke has sometimes been identified as the other, but... read more

Joseph Parker

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Luke 24:1-53

Parted From Them Luk 24:50 That is what he is always doing. In the case of the text the incident was personal and local, tut it contains a principle of very wide and gracious adaptation. There is a point in life at which visible leading ceases. It may be at Bethany; it may be at eighteen years of age; it may be at nominal and legal manhood. It may vary according to individuality, but there is the principle: Now I have brought you out so far, go on. This is education, this is providence. We... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 24:13-35

"And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. (14) And they talked together of all these things which had happened. (15) And it came to pass, that, while they communed together and reasoned, Jesus himself drew near, and went with them. (16) But their eyes were holden that they should not know him. (17) And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad?... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:28-35

28-35 If we would have Christ dwell with us, we must be earnest with him. Those that have experienced the pleasure and profit of communion with him, cannot but desire more of his company. He took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them. This he did with his usual authority and affection, with the same manner, perhaps with the same words. He here teaches us to crave a blessing on every meal. See how Christ by his Spirit and grace makes himself known to the souls of his people. He... read more
