Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 24:21

21. we trusted, c.—They expected the promised Deliverance at His hand, but in the current sense of it, not by His death. besides all this—not only did His death seem to give the fatal blow to their hopes, but He had been two days dead already, and this was the third. It is true, they add, some of our women gave us a surprise, telling us of a vision of angels they had at the empty grave this morning that said He was alive, and some of ourselves who went thither confirmed their statement but then... read more

26. Ought not Christ—"the Christ," "the Messiah." to suffer . . . and enter—that is, through the gate of suffering (and suffering "these things," or such a death) to enter into His glory. "Ye believe in the glory; but these very sufferings are the predicted gate of entrance into it." read more

1. The appearance to the disciples walking to Emmaus 24:13-35This is another of Luke’s exquisite and unique stories. Various students of it have noted its similarity to the stories of the feeding of the 5,000 (Luke 9:10-17), the appearance in Jerusalem (Luke 24:36-49), and the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8:26-40). Luke’s purpose in recording the incident seems to have been to demonstrate the reality of the Resurrection and the identity of the risen Christ. It also unites many of Luke’s major themes. read more

I. The post-resurrection appearances of Jesus 24:13-49Luke included two of Jesus’ post-resurrection appearances in his Gospel, the first one to two disciples and the second to many of the disciples. In both cases the key to their enlightenment was the Hebrew Scriptures. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:17

Jesus’ question apparently so shocked the two disciples that they stopped walking. It opened a wound in their hearts and renewed their sorrow. Cleopas’ casual comment tells the reader that Jesus was the talk of Jerusalem. Everyone there, residents and pilgrims alike, knew about Him and what had happened to Him. Luke may have mentioned Cleopas by name because some of his readers knew him or knew about him. According to Christian tradition he was Jesus’ uncle, Joseph’s brother, and he became a... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:19-20

Jesus was baiting His companions, getting them to articulate what they knew and to reveal what was important to them. They viewed Jesus as a mighty prophet in the eyes of God and the people (Gr. laos, the open-minded public, cf. Acts 18:10)."This characterization, together with the assertion of full publicity amongst the people, contains pointed echoes of Luke’s introductory summary of Jesus’ ministry [in the power of the] Spirit (Luke 4, 14; cp. Acts 10, 38)." [Note: R. J. Dillon, From... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:21

The travelers, in contrast to Israel’s leaders, hoped that Jesus would prove to be their nation’s deliverer (cf. Luke 1:68; Luke 2:30; Luke 2:38; Luke 21:28), namely, the Messiah whom they evidently saw as a political liberator. Of course, Jesus did redeem Israel by His death on the cross, but they were speaking of physical deliverance from Rome and the establishment of the kingdom. Their reference to the third day since Jesus’ death implied that they had expected something important to happen... read more
