Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 24:44-49

"And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me. (45) Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, (46) And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: (47) And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:36-49

36-49 Jesus appeared in a miraculous manner, assuring the disciples of his peace, though they had so lately forsaken him, and promising spiritual peace with every blessing. Many troublesome thoughts which disquiet our minds, rise from mistakes concerning Christ. All the troublesome thoughts which rise in our hearts at any time, are known to the Lord Jesus, and are displeasing to him. He spake with them on their unreasonable unbelief. Nothing had passed but what was foretold by the prophets, and... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Luke 24:1-99

Luke 24 THE CLOSING VERSES of Luke 23.0 , and the opening part of this chapter makes it very plain that none of His disciples in any way anticipated His resurrection. This makes the testimony to it all the more pronounced and satisfying. They were not enthusiastic and visionary, inclined to believe anything, but rather of materialistic mind and despondent, inclined to doubt everything. The women are brought before us in the first place. They had no thoughts but those suitable to an ordinary... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Luke 24:41-49

Further proof of the Risen Savior's reality: v. 41. And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, He said unto them, Have ye here any meat? v. 42. And they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. v. 43. And He took it and did eat before them. v. 44. And He said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the Psalms,... read more

2. The Appearing at Evening (Luke 24:36-45)(Parallel with Mark 16:14-18; John 20:19-23)36And as they thus spake, Jesus [he15] himself stood in the midst of them, and saithunto them, Peace be unto you.16 37But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposedthat they had seen a spirit. 38And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and whydo thoughts arise in your hearts [heart17]? 39Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 24:36-47

Luke THE TRIUMPHANT END Luk_24:36 - Luk_24:53 . There are no marks of time in this passage, and, for anything that appears, the narrative is continuous, and the Ascension might have occurred on the evening of the Resurrection. But neither is there anything to forbid interpreting this close of Luke’s Gospel by the fuller details contained in the beginning of his other treatise, the Acts, where the space of forty days interposes between the Resurrection and the Ascension. It is but reasonable... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 24:44-53

“Witnesses of These Things” Luke 24:44-53 The risen Savior is the key to Scripture. The pages of Holy Writ need the illumination that falls from His face. Whenever you open the Old Testament, described here under its customary Hebrew threefold division, be sure to ask Him to open your understanding also! Repentance is turning from sin. It is the act of the will. In remitting sin Christ not only forgives, but stands between the sinner and the consequences. The “beginning” must be Jerusalem,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Luke 24:1-53

No human eye saw the resurrection. The women came early, but only to find the stone rolled away. The record of those earliest experiences is full of touching beauty. Luke alone gives us the story of the walk to Emmaus, in which disappointed disciples poured out their story, and in which at last He revealed Himself to them as the Risen One. Much mystery still surrounds the fact of the resurrection, but the fact abides. There are suggestive points, moreover, in this account of His appearances.... read more

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
