Luke 24:25-53 NIV

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:30

He took bread - This was the office of the master and father of a family, and this was our Lord's usual custom among his disciples. Those whom Christ lodges with he feeds, and feeds too with bread that himself hath blessed, and this feeding not only strengthens, but also enlightens the soul. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:31

Their eyes were opened - But we are not to imagine that he administered the holy eucharist at this time; there is not the most distant evidence of this. It was a mere family meal, and ended before it was well begun. They knew him - His acting as father of the family, in taking, blessing, and distributing the bread among them, caused them to recollect those lips which they had often heard speak, and those hands by which they had often been fed. Perhaps he also threw off the disguise which... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:32

Did not our heart burn within us - His word was in our heart as a burning fire, Jeremiah 20:9 . Our hearts waxed hot within us, and while we were musing the fire burned, Psalm 39:3 . In some such way as this the words of the disciples may be understood: but there is a very remarkable reading here in the Codex Bezae; instead of καιομενη , burned, it has κεκαλυμμενη , veiled; and one of the Itala has, fuit excaecatum , was blinded. Was not our heart veiled (blinded) when he conversed... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:34

Saying, The Lord is risen indeed - The meaning here is, that these two disciples found the apostles, and those who were with them, unanimously testifying that Christ had risen from the dead. It is not the two disciples to whom we are to refer the word λεγοντας , saying; but to the body of the disciples. See the note on Mark 16:12 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:35

And they - The two disciples who were just come from Emmaus, related what had happened to them on the way, going to Emmaus, and how he had been known unto them in the breaking of bread, while supping together at the above village. See on Luke 24:31 ; (note). read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:36

And as they thus spake - While the two disciples who were going to Emmaus were conversing about Christ, he joined himself to their company. Now, while they and the apostles are confirming each other in their belief of his resurrection, Jesus comes in, to remove every doubt, and to give them the fullest evidence of it. And it is ever true that, wherever two or three are gathered together in his name, he is in the midst of them. Peace be unto you - The usual salutation among the Jews. May... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:37

And supposed that they had seen a spirit - But if there be no such thing as a disembodied spirit, would not our Lord have shown them their error? Instead of this, he confirms them in their opinion, by saying, A spirit hath not flesh and bones as you see me have, Luke 24:39 ; therefore he says, handle me and see me. They probably imagined that it was the soul only of our blessed Lord which they saw; but they were soon fully convinced of the identity of his person, and the reality of his... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:41

They - believed not for joy - They were so overcome with the joy of his resurrection, that they did not, for some time, properly receive the evidence that was before them - as we phrase it, they thought the news too good to be true. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:44

The law - the prophets - the psalms - This was the Jewish division of the whole old covenant. The Law contained the five books of Moses; the Prophets, the Jews divided into former and latter; they were, according to Josephus, thirteen. "The Psalms included not only the book still so named, but also three other books, Proverbs, Job, and Canticles. These all," says the above author, "contain hymns to God, and rules for the conduct of the lives of men." Joseph. Cont. App. i. 8. This account... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:45

Then opened he their understanding - Διηνοιξεν , He fully opened. They had a measure of light before, so that they discerned the Scriptures to be the true word of God, and to speak of the Messiah; but they had not light sufficient to enable them to apply these Scriptures to their Lord and Master; but now, by the influence of Christ, they see, not only, the prophecies which pointed out the Messiah, but also the Messiah who was pointed out by these prophecies. The book of God may be received... read more
