F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 24:1-99

Luke 24 THE CLOSING VERSES of Luke 23.0 , and the opening part of this chapter makes it very plain that none of His disciples in any way anticipated His resurrection. This makes the testimony to it all the more pronounced and satisfying. They were not enthusiastic and visionary, inclined to believe anything, but rather of materialistic mind and despondent, inclined to doubt everything. The women are brought before us in the first place. They had no thoughts but those suitable to an ordinary... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 24:32-35

Mutual expressions of joy: v. 32. And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures? v. 33. And they rose up the same hour, and returned to Jerusalem, and found the Eleven gathered together, and them that were with them, v. 34. saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon. v. 35. And they told what things were done in the way, and how He was known of them in breaking of bread. The... read more

Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Luke 24:13-35

B. Over the Despondency of Unbelief. Luke 24:13-451. The Appearing to the Disciples of Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35)13And, behold, two of them went [were journeying] that same day to a village called14Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs [stadia]. And theytalked together of all these things which had happened. 15And it came to pass, that, while they communed [were conversing] together and reasoned [or, were discussing], Jesus himself drew near, and went [journeyed] with them.... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 24:34

Luke PETER ALONE WITH JESUS Luk_24:34 . The other appearances of the risen Lord to individuals on the day of Resurrection are narrated with much particularity, and at considerable length. John gives us the lovely account of our Lord’s conversation with Mary Magdalene, Luke gives us in full detail the story of the interview with the two travellers on the road to Emmaus. Here is another appearance, known to ‘the eleven, and them that were with them’ on the Resurrection evening, and enumerated... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 24:28-35

“Abide with Us” Luke 24:28-35 Our Lord must be invited and constrained. He will not impose Himself on an unwilling host; but how glad He is to enter where a welcome awaits! He turns ordinary meals into sacraments; common rooms into royal chambers: and the homeliest things into symbols of the eternal. He sat with them, then vanished; but He was no less truly with them when He ceased to be seen-and all to teach them that when He had passed permanently from their sight He would be nearer than... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 24:1-53

No human eye saw the resurrection. The women came early, but only to find the stone rolled away. The record of those earliest experiences is full of touching beauty. Luke alone gives us the story of the walk to Emmaus, in which disappointed disciples poured out their story, and in which at last He revealed Himself to them as the Risen One. Much mystery still surrounds the fact of the resurrection, but the fact abides. There are suggestive points, moreover, in this account of His appearances.... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:34

RISEN INDEED‘The Lord is risen indeed.’ Luke 24:34 I. The fact.—The Christian Church is founded on the definite historic fact of Christ’s Resurrection. Socrates hesitates and confesses he does not know, Christ solves the problems of the ages and says He has the keys of death and of Hades. II. The power.—Facts are the greatest of all powers. ‘The power of His Resurrection’ is a wonder-working power. It created the Christian Church. We know certain men lived and wrought because of the power... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1-53

Jesus Is Crucified And Rises Again (22:1-24:53). We now come to the final Section of Luke which is also in the form of a chiasmus (see analysis below). Central in this final chiasmus is the crucifixion of Jesus. This brings out how central the crucifixion is in the thinking of Luke. As the Servant of the Lord He is to be numbered among the transgressors for their sakes (Luke 22:37). This is indeed what the Gospel has been leading up to, something that is further demonstrated by the space given... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:13-34

Two Disciples Meet Jesus on the Road To Emmaus (24:13-34). The women having been brought to believe, Jesus now brings two ‘unknown’ disciples to belief. It may be that by these means He was hoping to bring most of the Apostles to belief before He appeared to them physically, so that they would have the greater blessing (John 20:29), and would obey Him by going to meet Him in Galilee (Mark 16:7), without Him having to appear to them in Jerusalem. But if so the hopes to some extent failed to... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:13-35

Luke 24:13-Habakkuk : . The Appearance on the Way to Emmaus.— This exquisite story is told by Lk. only. The village is perhaps the Ammaus of Josephus, the modern Kolonije, five miles W. from Jerusalem. Luke 24:19 f . describes Jesus as a prophet who His friends hoped (till the hope was shattered by His death) might prove to be the Messiah. They are shown that Scripture foretold Messiah’ s death; it was necessary to His glory. That glory was apparently attained in the moment of the death (... read more
