Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 24:46

It behoved - It became; it was proper or necessary that the Messiah should thus suffer. It was predicted of him, and all things have happened as it was foretold. read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 24:44-48

Luke 24:44-48. And he said to them Not, as appears, on the day of his resurrection, but on that of his ascension. These are the words which I spake to you In private, frequently; while I was yet with you Dwelling among you: we should better understand what Christ does, if we did but better remember what he hath said; that all must be fulfilled which is written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms Under these three, the Jews were wont to comprehend all the books of the... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 24:36-49

163. Sunday night in Jerusalem (Mark 16:14; Luke 24:36-49; John 20:19-23)While the disciples were together discussing these miraculous appearances, Jesus suddenly appeared among them in the room, even though the doors were locked. This made them think they were seeing a ghost who could pass through walls, but Jesus calmed their fears by showing them his body of flesh and bones, complete with the scars of crucifixion. He also ate some fish, showing that his body had normal physical functions... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 24:46

And he said unto them, Thus it is written that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day; and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name unto all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.This is a summary of the great commission which was probably given repeatedly during the forty days prior to the ascension. This announcement of it stressed the importance of the sufferings of the Saviour, and the great corollary of it, his resurrection from the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:13-49

I. The post-resurrection appearances of Jesus 24:13-49Luke included two of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances in his Gospel, the first one to two disciples and the second to many of the disciples. In both cases the key to their enlightenment was the Hebrew Scriptures. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:36-49

2. The appearances to the disciples in Jerusalem 24:36-49Luke arranged his accounts of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances to give the impression that an ever-increasing audience learned of this great event. First, he recorded an announcement of it with no witnesses (Luke 24:1-12). Then he told of Jesus appearing to two disciples (Luke 24:13-35). Next he presented Jesus materializing in the presence of the Eleven minus Thomas (cf. Mark 16:14; John 20:24). Perhaps he meant this presentation to... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:44-49

The mission of Jesus’ disciples 24:44-49 (cf. Acts 1:3-8)All the Gospels contain instances of Jesus giving the Great Commission to His disciples, but evidently He did not just give it once. The contexts are different suggesting that He repeated these instructions on at least four separate occasions. This fact obviously reflects the importance of this instruction. The charge that Luke recorded here and in Acts 1:8 was apparently the last one that Jesus gave. The chronological order seems to have... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:45-46

Then He proceeded to open their understanding (cf. Luke 24:31) showing them first how He had fulfilled Scripture so far (cf. Luke 24:27). He explained how His sufferings and resurrection, the great psychological barriers to the Jews of Jesus’ day, had fulfilled biblical prophecy. We have seen how the disciples failed to grasp these things as Jesus taught them before His passion. Luke again stressed the importance of Scripture in understanding God’s program. As Jesus opened the Scriptures, God... read more
