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

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's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:13

‘And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was sixty furlongs (stades) from Jerusalem.’ The two disciples prominent in this story were returning home to the village of Emmaus. There is no certainty as to where Emmaus was, but we are told that it was sixty stades from Jerusalem. It must be recognised that sixty stades would be very much an approximation (thus signifying ‘more than fifty stades’) and much would depend for identification purposes on what... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:13-34

Two Disciples Meet Jesus on the Road To Emmaus (24:13-34). The women having been brought to believe, Jesus now brings two ‘unknown’ disciples to belief. It may be that by these means He was hoping to bring most of the Apostles to belief before He appeared to them physically, so that they would have the greater blessing (John 20:29), and would obey Him by going to meet Him in Galilee (Mark 16:7), without Him having to appear to them in Jerusalem. But if so the hopes to some extent failed to... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:13-35

Luke 24:13-Habakkuk : . The Appearance on the Way to Emmaus.— This exquisite story is told by Lk. only. The village is perhaps the Ammaus of Josephus, the modern Kolonije, five miles W. from Jerusalem. Luke 24:19 f . describes Jesus as a prophet who His friends hoped (till the hope was shattered by His death) might prove to be the Messiah. They are shown that Scripture foretold Messiah’ s death; it was necessary to His glory. That glory was apparently attained in the moment of the death (... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:13

Who those two were is variously guessed; that the name of the one was Cleopas, appeareth from Luke 24:18. Some will have the other to have been Luke, but he in the beginning of his Gospel distinguishes himself from eyewitnesses, Luke 1:2. Some will have it to have been Nathanael; others will have it to have been Simon, from Luke 24:34, and 1 Corinthians 15:5. But these things are so uncertain, that all the instruction we can learn from them is the vanity and uncertainty of traditions. This... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 24:13-43

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 24:13. Two of them.—It is evident from Luke 24:33 that neither of them were apostles. The name of one of them is given in Luke 24:18, Cleopas (i.e., an abbreviation of Cleopatros), a different name from Cleopas of John 19:25. Conjectures as to the name of the other are futile. Went.—Rather, “were going” (R.V.). Emmaus.—Mentioned in Josephus, B.J., VII. Luke 6:6. Omit “about”; omitted in R.V.Luke 24:14. They talked.—Rather, “communed” (R.V.); the same word as in Luke... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 24:13-15

Luke 24:13-15 The Journey to Emmaus. I. We see in this appearance something very characteristic of our Lord's habits and ways. During His lifetime His disciples and followers were always craving for publicity and display. He was always retiring from too much of that, carrying on His work as quietly as possible. How entirely consonant with His whole habit of life are these appearings after the Resurrection. II. We may see how easily still, in that risen life, He enters into communication with... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 24:1-53

Chapter 24Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were very perplexed, behold, two men stood my them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek... read more
