Luke 24:27 - Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Bible Study & Commentary

Verse 27

And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.

There are one-third of one thousand prophecies in the Old Testament regarding Jesus Christ, and this leads to the conclusion that a measure of hyperbole is in Luke's statement here; but a long walk of some six or seven miles would have afforded time enough for mentioning a very large number of the glorious prophecies fulfilled in Jesus our Lord.

Spence has suggested the following as having probably been included in the interpretations given by the Lord:

The promise to Eve (Genesis 3:15) The promise to Abraham (Genesis 22:18) The Paschal lamb (Exodus 12) The scapegoat (Leviticus 16:1-34) The greater Prophet (Deuteronomy 18:15) The star and scepter (Numbers 24:17) Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14) "Unto us a child is born" (Isaiah 9:6) The Good Shepherd (Isaiah 40:10,11) The meek Sufferer (Isaiah 50:6) He who bore our griefs (Isaiah 53:4,5) The Heir of David (Ezekiel 34:23) The Ruler born in Bethlehem (Micah 5:2) The Branch (Zechariah 6:12) The lowly King (Zechariah 9:9) The pierced Victim (Zechariah 12:10) The smitten Shepherd (Zechariah 13:7) The Messenger of the Covenant (Malachi 3:1) The Sun of Righteousness (Malachi 4:2)[15]

Of course, there were many other things also that could have been included in the Lord's instructions to these two disciples.

James Burton Coffman was a prolific author, preacher, teacher and leader among churches of Christ in the 20th century.He was born May 24, 1905, in Taylor County to pioneer West Texans "so far out in the country it took two days to go to town and back." He became a Christian in 1923. In Texas, Coffman graduated from Abilene High School and enrolled in Abilene Christian College (now University), graduating in 1927 with a B.A. in history and music.After earning his degree, Coffman served as a high school principal for two years in Callahan County, then taught history and English at Abilene High School.In 1930, he was offered a position as associate minister and song leader in Wichita Falls, the beginning of his career as a minister.
