Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 24:52

And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy: and were continually in the temple, blessing God.All of the temple forms and ceremonies were made null and void by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ; but for a season the Christians would still continue to meet, out of habit long maintained, in such places as Solomon's porch and other areas within the temple. Before a generation ended, God would utterly destroy the temple, one evident purpose being that of separating all Christian... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:50

Luke 24:50. He led them out as far as to Bethany;— The town of Bethany was about fifteen furlongs from Jerusalem; Joh 11:18 whereas the place from which our Lord ascended on mount Olivet, was but a sabbath-day's journey, or about half that distance from Jerusalem; Acts 1:12. So that to reconcile what St. Luke here tells us in his gospel, with the account that he gives of our Lord's ascension in the Acts, we must conclude, that he conducted his disciples only to the boundaries of Bethany, which... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:52-53

Luke 24:52-53. And they worshipped him,— The apostles, having seen their Master ascend into heaven, were fully convinced of his having come down from thence, and of his being the true Messiah. This persuasion they testified by paying him divine honours; they worshipped him: and they returned to Jerusalem, filled with great joy, not only on account of his resurrection, but because they considered it not as their Master's final parting with them. Separate, however, from this consideration, it... read more

Incarnate Love, Crucified Love, Risen Love, now on the wing for heaven, waiting only those odorous gales which were to waft Him to the skies, goes away in benedictions, that in the character of Glorified, Enthroned Love, He might continue His benedictions, but in yet higher form, until He come again! And oh, if angels were so transported at His birth into this scene of tears and death, what must have been their ecstasy as they welcomed and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:50-51

Jesus continued to lead His disciples as their Lord. Bethany stood on Mt. Olivet just east of Jerusalem. As they were walking toward (Gr. pros) Bethany, Jesus stopped and prayed for God’s blessing on them. Lifting up the hands to do so traditionally symbolized a priestly transference of blessing from heaven to the recipients below (cf. Luke 1:22; Luke 1:42; Luke 1:64; Luke 1:68; Luke 2:28; Luke 2:34). Luke described Jesus’ ascension (Acts 1:9-11) as a parting, not a permanent separation. Jesus’... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:50-53

J. The ascension of Jesus 24:50-53 (cf. Mark 16:19-20; Acts 1:9-12)Jesus’ ascension was already in view in Luke 9:51. There Luke presented it as the ultimate goal of Jesus’ first advent ministry. Jesus’ ascension would have happened even if the Jews had accepted Him as their Messiah. Prophecies of His glorious return to the earth fill the Old Testament. We should not view Jesus’ ascension as an afterthought, therefore. It was rather the culmination of Jesus’ first advent. Luke is the only New... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:52-53

Some manuscripts have the disciples worshipping Jesus. The textual support for this activity here is good. This is Luke’s first reference to the disciples worshipping Jesus. The Resurrection and Jesus’ subsequent instruction made His deity beyond doubt for them.The disciples returned from the Mount of Olives to Jerusalem joyful because they finally understood and accepted God’s program for Messiah and for them (cf. Luke 2:10). Jerusalem would shortly become the birthplace of Christianity. Their... read more
