Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:51

‘And it came to about that while he blessed them, he parted from them, and was carried up into heaven.’ And even while He was blessing them, He parted from them for the last time in bodily form, and was carried up into Heaven. This was the signal that His work on earth was done. The book of Acts will reveal what happened to Him next. He will be enthroned in Heaven and made Lord and Messiah (Acts 2:36), and be at God’s right hand (Acts 7:56; Mark 16:19). And as Matthew 28:19-20 makes clear being... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:52

‘And they worshipped him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and were continually in the temple, blessing God.’ Luke’s closing words set us in expectancy for what is to follow. They now fully recognised Him for Who and What He was, and they worshipped Him. Luke almost certainly intends us to take that literally in the highest sense. Like Thomas they say, ‘My Lord and My God’ (John 20:28). Then they returned to Jerusalem filled with great joy, the joy with which Luke has made us so... 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's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:50-51

This must be understood to have happened forty days after our Saviour’s resurrection, for so Luke himself tells us, Acts 1:3. And he led them out as far as Bethany; not the village Bethany, but that part of the mount of Olives which belonged to Bethany. Our Saviour had been often there praying; from thence he now ascendeth into heaven. And he lifted up his hands and blessed them: some think that by blessing here is meant praying, and the lifting up of his hands was accommodated to that... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:52-53

We never before read of any act of adoration which the disciples performed to Christ. Their faith was now come to the highest pitch. They did no longer look upon him only as one sent of God, a great Prophet, nor only as the Son of David, the promised Messiah; in the mean time not rightly taking the notion of the Messiah, but looking upon him as one who should be a temporal saviour, and deliverer of his people; they now believe him to be the eternal Son of God, being so manifested by his... 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

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 24:50-51

Luke 24:50-51 The Ascension of our Saviour. I. As we meditate upon the passage before us, taking it in connection with other passages in which the same writer has entered more minutely into detail, there are several attendant circumstances of the Ascension upon which we may profitably dwell. (1) As to the manner of it. In the first place, we must notice that it was visible palpable to the senses of every beholder. You will see at once the fitness of this public triumph; it is true of the work... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 24:50-53

Luke 24:50-53 The Ascension. I. As far as the accompaniments of the Ascension were visible to men, they were the simplest and most unattractive that the case could admit. Even the Birth of the Saviour was far more honoured than His Ascension in supernatural accompaniments. On the Birth of Christ the heavenly host thronged the firmament; and in lofty accents heard by mortal ears, proclaimed the event. Not so upon the Ascension. There was nothing whatever of this angelic gratulation; Christ had... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Luke 24:52-53

Luke 24:52-53 Warfare the Condition of Victory. I. It will be well if we take to ourselves, and learn that great truth which the Apostles shrank from at first, but at length rejoiced in. Christ suffered and entered into joy, So did they, in their measure, after Him. And, in our measure, so do we. It is written that "through much tribulation we must enter into the kingdom of God." At some time or other of the life of everyone there is pain, and sorrow, and trouble. So it is, and the sooner we... read more
