Luke 24:29

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:29

And he went in to tarry with them . Some have supposed that one at least of the two had a dwelling at Emmaus; but the position which the strange Teacher assumed as "Master of the household," in the solemn act recorded in Luke 24:30 , seems to indicate that it was an inn where they sojourned. read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:29

The exigency of old age. The disciples "constrained" our Lord to abide with them; for, they said, "It is toward evening, and the day is far spent." This act of theirs and their words taken together are suggestive of the truth that those whose life is fast waning—with whom it is "toward evening," whose day is "far spent"—have urgent need that Jesus Christ should "abide with" them. We have before us the special spiritual necessities of old age. It has— I. ITS SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 24:29

Constrained him - They urged him, or pressingly invited him. They did not yet perceive that it was Jesus, but they had been charmed and delighted with his discourse, and they wished to hear him farther. Christians are delighted with communion with the Saviour. They seek it as the chief object of their desire, and they find their chief pleasure in fellowship with him. The two disciples felt it a privilege to entertain the stranger, as they supposed, who had so charmed them with his discourse;... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 24:28-31

Luke 24:28-31. And they drew near unto the village, &c. His discourse made so deep an impression upon them, and engrossed their attention to such a degree, that they neither thought of the length of the journey, nor considered the countenance of him who spake to them, so that, ere they were aware, they arrived at the village whither they went. And he made as though he would have gone farther When the disciples turned aside from the road to go to their lodging in the village, Jesus... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 24:13-35

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

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:29

Luke 24:29. They constrained him,— They pressed him. Heylin, &c. See ch. Luke 14:23. We are told in the subsequent verses, that the disciples, having returned from Emmaus, were telling their brethren what had happened to them, when Jesus stood in the midst, and saluted them, Luke 24:35-36. Moreover, it is taken notice of, that this appearance happened on the first day of the week at even; John 20:19. These circumstances, together with the departure of the disciples, who went to Emmaus... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 24:29

29. constrained, c.—But for this, the whole design of the interview had been lost but it was not to be lost, for He who only wished to be constrained had kindled a longing in the hearts of His travelling companions which was not to be so easily put off. And does not this still repeat itself in the interviews of the Saviour with His loving, longing disciples? Else why do they say, Abide with me from morn to eve, For without Thee I cannot live; Abide with me when night is nigh, For without... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:13-35

1. The appearance to the disciples walking to Emmaus 24:13-35This is another of Luke’s exquisite and unique stories. Various students of it have noted its similarity to the stories of the feeding of the 5,000 (Luke 9:10-17), the appearance in Jerusalem (Luke 24:36-49), and the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40). Luke’s purpose in recording the incident seems to have been to demonstrate the reality of the Resurrection and the identity of the risen Christ. It also unites many of Luke’s major themes. read more
