Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:44-53

Luke 24:44-2 Thessalonians : . The Last Words and the Ascension.— Jesus reminds His disciples how He had told them that Scripture predictions about Him must be fulfilled. He goes over the ground again (with Luke 24:45 cf. Luke 24:27), and adds that the gospel of repentance and forgiveness in His name should be preached everywhere. It is not clear whether the instruction to preach is regarded as contained in the OT Scriptures. Syr. Sin. has “ in my name,” and perhaps we should take the Gr.... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:45

He did not open their understanding without the Scriptures, he sends them thither; and he knew the Scriptures would not sufficiently give them a knowledge of him, and the things of God, without the influence and illumination of his Spirit: they are truly taught of God, who are taught by his Spirit to understand the Scriptures. Christ gives a great honour to the Scriptures. The devil cheats those souls whom he persuades to cast away the Scriptures in expectation of a teaching by the Spirit. The... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:46

All the Divine predictions are certain and infallible. The Jews did maliciously and freely prosecute our Saviour to death, and God did certainly foresee how their wills would be determined, and the event was accomplished accordingly. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:47-48

The few words in Luke 24:47 are comprehensive of the great duty of the apostles: 1. To preach repentance and remission of sins. 2. In Christ’s name. 3. To all nations. 4. Beginning at Jerusalem. They were to preach repentance, that is, a turning from sinful courses into a course of life consonant to the will of God; and remission of sins, that is, upon repentance; this they were to preach in his name, which may refer either to their preaching; then our Saviour lets them know that they were to... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 24:44-53

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 24:44. These are the words.—I.e., “this is the meaning of the words.” Probably in Luke 24:44-49 St. Luke gives a summary of Christ’s discourses during the time between the Resurrection and the Ascension. Law of Moses, etc.—Perhaps here we have a reference to the Jewish division of the books of the Old Testament—i.e., into the Pentateuch, the Prophets (Joshua, Judges, four books of Kings, and the Prophets, except Daniel), and the Hagiographa.Luke 24:45. Then opened.—Cf. Luke... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 24:46-47

Luke 24:46-47 Our Lord's Last Words. I. The last command of a friend who has left us is commonly regarded with more than usual interest. Whatever else men forget they remember this. It is connected with a moment sacred in their recollections. The last glimpse of the familiar form receding from their view, the vessel long watched amidst the distant haze these or similar remembrances are linked to those words. Nay, sometimes they were the last uttered on earth. The words of the dying oh, how we... read more

SPURGEON "And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem."-- Luke 24:47 . The servants of God were not left to originate a gospel for themselves, as certain modern teachers appear to do, nor were they even left to map out their mode of procedure in the spreading of the glad tidings. They were told by their great Master what... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 24:1-53

Chapter 24Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were very perplexed, behold, two men stood my them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek... read more
