John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1-53

The Resurrection and the Ascension1-11. Two angels appear to the women at the sepulchre (Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-8: cp. John 20:1-2). See on Mt and Jn.12. Peter visits the sepulchre. See on John 20:3-10. This v. is wanting in some ancient authorities.13-35 The journey to Emmaus (Mark 16:12-13). Though alluded to in Mk, this beautiful narrative is peculiar to Lk. The conjecture of Theophylact that one of the two disciples was St. Luke still finds supporters, but is unlikely.13. Emmaus]... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 24:50

(50) And he led them out as far as to Bethany.—It must be admitted that this narrative, taken by itself, would leave the impression that the Ascension followed with not more than a day’s interval on the Resurrection. We must remember, however, that even the coincidences between the close of St. Luke’s first book and the beginning of his second, show that he was already looking forward to resuming his work, and that the interval of forty days is distinctly recognised in Acts 1:3, though there... read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 24:51

(51) The words “and was carried up into heaven” are wanting in some of the best MSS., and are omitted accordingly by some recent editors. read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 24:52

(52) They worshipped him.—These words also are absent from most of the best MSS. If they stand as part of the text, we must remember that they describe the attitude of prostrate adoration.With great joy.—Now, at last, the disciples found the fulfilment of their Lord’s promise that “their sorrow should be turned into joy,” and that joy—the joy of knowing that their Lord and their Friend was at the right hand of the Father—was one which no man could take from them (John 16:20; John 16:22). read more

Charles John Ellicott

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Luke 24:53

(53) And were continually in the temple.—The statement is obviously not inconsistent with that in the Acts (Acts 1:13), that they were abiding in an upper-chamber in Jerusalem. What it indicates is, that their days were spent, not in the routine of common life, but in the prayer of fervent expectation; and for this no place was so fitting as the Temple, which their Master had taught them to look on as in very deed His “Father’s house,” the “house of prayer,” in which the soul of the true... read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Luke 24:1-53

The Easter Message Luke 24:2 (with Mark 16:3-4 ) Very remarkable that none of the Evangelists attempt to describe the Resurrection itself. They tell us all the details on either side of the stupendous fact but it they leave all untold. Just where you might have expected mythical books to have gone off into rhapsodical accounts they are utterly silent. He rose in the early dawn of that morning, but when or how is all untold. Certainly if they are legend writers they are the strangest legend... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Luke 24:1-53

Chapter 26THE FIRST LORD’S DAY.THE Sabbath came and went over the grave of its Lord, and silence reigned in Joseph’s garden, broken only by the mailed sentinels, who laughed and chatted by, the sealed sepulcher. As to the disciples, this high day is a dies non to them, for the curtain of a deep silence hides them from our view. Did they go up to the Temple to join in the Psalm, how "His mercy endureth forever?" Scarcely: their thoughts were transfixed to the cross, which haunted them like a... read more

Arno Gaebelein's Annotated Bible - Luke 24:1-53

VII. His Resurrection and Ascension CHAPTER 24 1. The Resurrection. (Luke 24:1-12 ) 2. The Walk to Emmaus; the Appearance of the Risen Son of Man. (Luke 24:13-35 ) 3. The Appearance to the Eleven. (Luke 24:36-45 ) 4. The Commission. (Luke 24:46-48 ) 5. The Ascension. (Luke 24:49-53 .) The account of the Resurrection in Luke’s Gospel has also its characteristic features. He alone reports the full account of the walk to Emmaus. It is a precious story showing forth the fact that the risen... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1-53

HE IS NOT HERE. BUT RISEN (vs.1-12) Though these dear women came to the grave very early in the morning the first day of the week, they were too late. Mary of Bethany had anointed the Lord Jesus before His death, and she had done this in view of His burial (John 12:7). Others perhaps had lesser intelligence, though no less love for Him. Elsewhere we read that the women had questioned among themselves as to who might roll the stone away from the grave (Mark 16:3), that they might anoint Him;... read more
