Luke 24:42-43 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 24:36-49

Five times Christ was seen the same day that he rose: by Mary Magdalene alone in the garden (John 20:14), by the women as they were going to tell the disciples (Matt. 28:9), by Peter alone, by the two disciples going to Emmaus, and now at night by the eleven, of which we have an account in these verses, as also John 20:19. Observe, 1. The great surprise which his appearing gave them. He came in among them very seasonably, as they were comparing notes concerning the proofs of his resurrection:... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 24:36-49

24:36-49 While they were still speaking, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to you!" They were terrified and afraid, because they thought that they were seeing a spirit. He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do the questions arise in your heart? See my hands and my feet--that it is I--myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have." And when he had said this he showed them his hands and his feet. When they still thought... read more

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish ,.... Which was left by them at supper, of which they had been eating; for being fishermen, most of them, this was agreeable food to them: and of an honeycomb ; not to eat with the fish, but after it. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:43

And he took it, and did eat before them. That is, he took both the fish, and the honeycomb, and ate of them before them, they looking on all the while; and which was a proof of his being truly risen from the dead, and not a spectre, or apparition, and which they failed not afterwards to make use of; see Acts 10:41 . The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions add, "he took the rest, or what remained, and gave it to them". read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:43

Verse 43 43.And he took, and ate it in their presence. Here we perceive, on the other hand, how kindly and gently Christ bears with the weakness of his followers, since he does not fail to give them this new support when they are falling. And, indeed, though he has obtained a new and heavenly life, and has no more need of meat and drink than angels have, still he voluntarily condescends to join in the common usages of mortals. During the whole course of his life, he had subjected himself to the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:1-49

THE RESURRECTION . All the four evangelists give an account of the Resurrection. None of the four, however, attempt to give a history of it simply from a human point of sight. Each Gospel probably reproduces the special points dwelt on in certain great centres of Christian teaching, in what we should now term different schools of thought. (Attempts have been made by theological scholars to classify these as Jewish, Gentile, Greek, Roman; but only with indifferent success). The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:33-43

Sense and spirit: the Resurrection. The story of the Resurrection in its relation to the disciples of our Lord suggests to us thoughts concerning— I. THE TRIUMPH OF THE SPIRIT OVER THE FLESH . These two disciples who had walked from Jerusalem to Emmaus, and who persuaded the mysterious Stranger to remain because the day was far gone, and subsequently spent some time in earnest converse with him, now hastened back to Jerusalem ( Luke 24:33 ). This was quite contrary... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:36-43

Christ and his Church. I. THE CHURCH . It is found in miniature in the upper room—"The eleven, and them that were with them." 1 . Its separation. It is isolated from the outer world. A new bond, a new manner, of union is already realized. It is not of the world, as Christ himself was not. There is a door shut between the little flock and the Jews. A supreme attraction to him whom the world sees not, an affiance of soul of which the world knows not, unites the company, and, in... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:36-53

Infallible proofs and inevitable partings. The Emmaus pilgrims have hardly entered the upper room and reported their interview with Jesus, receiving the intelligence that perplexed Peter has got his perplexity resolved, when, notwithstanding that the doors are barred for fear of the Jews, the Risen One appears in the midst of them, and says, "Peace be unto you!" They are at first terrified at such an advent, seeing that it sets aside the ordinary laws of matter, and shows all precaution... read more
