Luke 24:1-8 KJV

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1

Bringing the spices - To embalm the body of our Lord: but Nicodemus and Joseph of Arimathea had done this before the body was laid in the tomb. See John 19:39 , John 19:40 . But there was a second embalming found necessary: the first must have been hastily and imperfectly performed; the spices now brought by the women were intended to complete the preceding operation. And certain others with them - This clause is wanting in BCL, two others; Coptic, Ethiopic, Vulgate, and in all the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:2

They found the stone rolled away - An angel from God had done this before they reached the tomb, Matthew 28:2 ; : On this case we cannot help remarking, that, when persons have strong confidence in God, obstacles do not hinder them from undertaking whatever they have reason to believe he requires; and the removal of them they leave to him: and what is the consequence? They go on their way comfortably, and all difficulties vanish before them. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:3

And found not the body of the Lord - His holy soul was in Paradise, Luke 23:43 ; and the evangelist mentions the body particularly, to show that this only was subject to death. It is, I think, evident enough, from these and other words of Luke, that the doctrine of the materiality of the soul, made no part of his creed. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:5

Why seek ye the living among the dead? - This was a common form of speech among the Jews, and seems to be applied to those who were foolishly, impertinently, or absurdly employed. As places of burial were unclean, it was not reasonable to suppose that the living should frequent them; or that if any was missing he was likely to be found in such places. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:7

Sinful men - Or heathens, ανθρωπων ἁμαρτωλων , i.e. the Romans, by whom only he could be put to death; for the Jews themselves acknowledged that this power was now vested in the hands of the Roman governor alone. See John 19:15 . read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:8

Verse 8 Luke 24:8.And they remembered his words; by which we are taught that, though they had made little proficiency in the doctrine of Christ, still it was not lost, but was choked up, until in due time it yielded fruit. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:1

Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them . In the foregoing general note on the Resurrection, the probability has been discussed of the holy women having been divided into two companies who separately came to the sepulchre. St. Luke's notice here refers to the party who arrived the second at the tomb. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:1-12

The Resurrection-morning. Who are the witnesses to the Resurrection? What is the evidence on which it was believed by the first disciples?—on which it is received by all Christians still? I. THE WITNESSES ARE THE HOLY WOMEN AND THE APOSTLES . It is ( Luke 24:1 ) the very early morning: "while it was yet dark," says St. John; "as the day began to dawn," says St. Matthew; "at the rising of the sun," says St. Mark. Then the women hasten towards the sepulchre. How many... read more
