James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:46-47

THE GOSPEL OF THE CROSS‘(He) said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.’ Luke 24:46-2 Corinthians : I have recited as our text that most dogmatic of Christ’s recorded instructions to His Church after His Resurrection, in view of the evangelisation of the world. I. The whole burden of the words is this—His... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:47

AT JERUSALEM‘Beginning at Jerusalem.’ Luke 24:47 The witness of the Church to the risen Christ is wide as the world. But the words afford a remarkable indication of method. I. Notice how explicitly this point is emphasised by Christ Himself.—How prominently Jerusalem, where He had been rejected and crucified, is in His thoughts. It is as though the Christian Church were to enlarge its borders in ever-widening concentric circles, so that He who is ‘a light to lighten the Gentiles’ may at the... read more

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'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'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 24:46

‘And he said to them, “Thus it is written, that the Christ should suffer, and rise again from the dead the third day.” ’ The central point in their message as delivered to them by Him was that these very Scriptures had declared beforehand in writing that the Messiah would have to suffer, and would rise again from the dead on the third day. The idea of the ‘Coming One’ as suffering is found in Isaiah 50:4-8; Isaiah 52:13 to Isaiah 53:12, and also in Psalms 22:6-21; Daniel 7:0 (where the son of... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:47

‘And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.” The message having been proclaimed it then had to be applied, and here Jesus makes clear that that application has twofold prongs, repentance and forgiveness of sins. Repentance primarily indicates a turning to God, although this unquestionably also includes turning from sin and a change of heart and mind about God and about sin. The Greek word literally means a ‘change of... 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 24:46

All the Divine predictions are certain and infallible. The Jews did maliciously and freely prosecute our Saviour to death, and God did certainly foresee how their wills would be determined, and the event was accomplished accordingly. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:47-48

The few words in Luke 24:47 are comprehensive of the great duty of the apostles: 1. To preach repentance and remission of sins. 2. In Christ’s name. 3. To all nations. 4. Beginning at Jerusalem. They were to preach repentance, that is, a turning from sinful courses into a course of life consonant to the will of God; and remission of sins, that is, upon repentance; this they were to preach in his name, which may refer either to their preaching; then our Saviour lets them know that they were to... read more
