The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 24:36-40

The Last Appearances of Christ. Easter evening: v. 36. And as they thus spake, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them and saith unto them, Peace be unto you! v. 37. But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. v. 38. And He said unto them, Why are ye troubled, and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? v. 39. Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; handle Me and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see Me have. v. 40. And... read more

Further proof of the Risen Savior's reality: v. 41. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, He said unto them, Have ye here any meat? v. 42. And they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. v. 43. And He took it and did eat before them. v. 44. And He said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms,... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 24:36-47

Luke THE TRIUMPHANT END Luk_24:36 - Luk_24:53 . There are no marks of time in this passage, and, for anything that appears, the narrative is continuous, and the Ascension might have occurred on the evening of the Resurrection. But neither is there anything to forbid interpreting this close of Luke’s Gospel by the fuller details contained in the beginning of his other treatise, the Acts, where the space of forty days interposes between the Resurrection and the Ascension. It is but reasonable... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 24:36-43

“Peace Be unto You” Luke 24:36-43 Jesus Himself! We need nothing else when we are terrified and afraid. You may be fearing the consequences of your sin; fearing the approach of your enemy; fearing the future with its unknown contingencies; but Jesus Himself is the antidote of fear. He keeps the soul that trusts Him within the double doors of peace. See Isaiah 26:3 . This was not an apparition, but the clothing of the spiritual body, which evidently repeats the general outlines of the... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 24:44-53

“Witnesses of These Things” Luke 24:44-53 The risen Savior is the key to Scripture. The pages of Holy Writ need the illumination that falls from His face. Whenever you open the Old Testament, described here under its customary Hebrew threefold division, be sure to ask Him to open your understanding also! Repentance is turning from sin. It is the act of the will. In remitting sin Christ not only forgives, but stands between the sinner and the consequences. The “beginning” must be Jerusalem,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 24:1-53

No human eye saw the resurrection. The women came early, but only to find the stone rolled away. The record of those earliest experiences is full of touching beauty. Luke alone gives us the story of the walk to Emmaus, in which disappointed disciples poured out their story, and in which at last He revealed Himself to them as the Risen One. Much mystery still surrounds the fact of the resurrection, but the fact abides. There are suggestive points, moreover, in this account of His appearances.... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:39

THE HANDS OF THE RISEN CHRIST‘Behold My hands.’ Luke 24:39 No doubt the first reason why Christ showed His Hands was to prove that He was the very same Jesus Who had been crucified. I. They were pitiful Hands.—Those Hands had blessed the children. Those Hands had touched the leper. Those Hands had multiplied the loaves. Those Hands had healed the sick. II. They were powerful Hands.—The Good Shepherd says of His sheep, ‘No one shall pluck them out of My Hand’ ( John 10:28). May we live day by... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1-53

Jesus Is Crucified And Rises Again (22:1-24:53). We now come to the final Section of Luke which is also in the form of a chiasmus (see analysis below). Central in this final chiasmus is the crucifixion of Jesus. This brings out how central the crucifixion is in the thinking of Luke. As the Servant of the Lord He is to be numbered among the transgressors for their sakes (Luke 22:37). This is indeed what the Gospel has been leading up to, something that is further demonstrated by the space given... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:36

‘And as they spoke these things, he himself stood in the midst of them, and says to them, “Peace be to you”.’ While the conversation with the two disciples from Emmaus was going on Jesus suddenly appeared to His Apostles. And there He stood among them and said, ‘Peace to you,’ shalom elechem, the standard Jewish greeting. He wanted to make it seem as natural as possible. But His words had a double meaning, for in a very real sense they could now have peace as a result of what He had done for... read more
