Wells of Living Water Commentary - Luke 24:45-49

Christ's Missionary Command as Seen in the Early Church Matthew 28:18-20 ; Mark 16:15-20 ; Luke 24:45-49 INTRODUCTORY WORDS As the time came for the Lord to leave, and to return to His Father, He pressed upon the disciples the great yearning's of His soul toward a world lost in sin; and then gave command that the Gospel should be preached to all the world. Let us, for a moment, as introductory to what shall follow, study the three records where this last command was given. 1. The command... read more

James Nisbet

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:49

SPIRITUAL POWER‘And, behold, I send the promise of My Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high.’ Luke 24:49 The question of questions for each of us to consider is, ‘How am I to make my life the home and embodiment of this power from above?’ If we turn to our Lord’s own example, or to the life of St. Paul or any other of His followers, or to any life we have known and felt to breathe around it this same power of the Spirit, some things... 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 24:44-51

The New Message And The New Power (24:44-51) In Mark 1:15 the Gospel is summarised as, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the Kingly Rule of God is at hand, repent and believe in the Good News.’ In other words ‘the time spoken of by Scripture is here, God’s Kingly Rule is at hand, and the conditions for entering that Kingly Rule are repentance and faith.’ In the speeches in Acts this is expanded by introducing the Good News concerning Jesus into the pattern, for by His enthronement in Heaven He has... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:44-53

The New Message And The New Power; A Final Summary Preparing For Acts (24:44-53). Having presented what he sees as the ultimate revelation of the earthly Jesus in describing the appearance of Jesus to His Apostles Luke moves rapidly on to His ascension, ignoring most of what took place in the following days in his usual way. Instead he prepares for the opening chapters of Acts by revealing in microcosm the message that was to be preached by His Apostles. It is quite possible that by this time... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:49

“And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father on you, but tarry you in the city, until you be clothed with power from on high.” But before they can do this they will need exceptional power, that which the Father has promised them, the drenching with the Holy Spirit (Luke 3:6-17), power from on High. In Luke the promise was made from the beginning, and later confirmed (Luke 11:13), but in John it was also clarified and expanded (John 7:38-39; John 14:16-17; John 14:26; John 15:26; John... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:44-53

Luke 24:44-2 Thessalonians : . The Last Words and the Ascension.— Jesus reminds His disciples how He had told them that Scripture predictions about Him must be fulfilled. He goes over the ground again (with Luke 24:45 cf. Luke 24:27), and adds that the gospel of repentance and forgiveness in His name should be preached everywhere. It is not clear whether the instruction to preach is regarded as contained in the OT Scriptures. Syr. Sin. has “ in my name,” and perhaps we should take the Gr.... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:49

It is questioned by none, but by the promise of the Father our Lord meaneth the promise of the Spirit, as it came down in the days of Pentecost. This effusion of the Spirit was promised under the Old Testament, Isaiah 44:3; Jeremiah 31:33; Ezekiel 36:27; most eminently, Joel 2:28, the apostle himself interpreting this prophecy, Acts 2:16-18. See also Acts 1:8, where the fulfilling of this promise of the Father, as it is called Acts 1:4, is put before—and ye shall be witnesses unto me, both in... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 24:44-53

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 24:44. These are the words.—I.e., “this is the meaning of the words.” Probably in Luke 24:44-49 St. Luke gives a summary of Christ’s discourses during the time between the Resurrection and the Ascension. Law of Moses, etc.—Perhaps here we have a reference to the Jewish division of the books of the Old Testament—i.e., into the Pentateuch, the Prophets (Joshua, Judges, four books of Kings, and the Prophets, except Daniel), and the Hagiographa.Luke 24:45. Then opened.—Cf. Luke... read more
