Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 24:1
This final chapter of Luke briefly summarizes the astonishment and perplexity of finding the empty tomb, giving the experience of the Galilean women (Luke 24:1-12), then giving a full and vivid account of an appearance of Christ to the disciples on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35). Luke then recounted the appearance of Jesus to the Eleven and them that were with them, including the disciples returned from Emmaus (Luke 24:36-43), concluding with a summary statement of Jesus' last words and a... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 24:4
And it came to pass, while they were perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel: and as they were affrighted and bowed their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?Two men stood by them ... These were angels, as indicated by the dazzling raiment; and it is interesting that commentators generally set themselves in motion immediately to show that this does not contradict the other two synoptics' mention of but "one" angel. Thus,... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 24:6
He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, saying that the Son of man must be delivered up into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.Angels of heaven announced the resurrection of Jesus, because no human eye beheld the wonder. The fact certified by the heavenly messengers here is the most important of all human history. Hobbs said:Luke's medical training would have prejudiced him against a bodily resurrection. Yet,... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:1
Luke 24:1. And certain others with them.— By these other women must be meant some besides those who had followed Jesus from Galilee; of whom alone St. Luke speaks in the former part of this verse, and the latter part of the preceding chapter. By these, therefore, as contra-distinguished from the Galilean women, he probably means the women of Jerusalem, a great number of whom followed Jesus as he was going to his crucifixion, ch. Luke 23:27. But what number of them went upon this occasion out of... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:4
Luke 24:4. And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, &c.— This threw them into a great perplexity, when on a sudden two men stood, &c. It hence seems probable, that the angels disappeared at certain times; for the words intimate, that the women did not see them at their first entrance into the sepulchre, and that their appearance was sudden, and occasioned a surprize. The evangelist here calls them men; but Luk 24:23 he calls them angels. The truth is, angels are... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:5-7
Luke 24:5-7. And bowed down their faces— These words do not intimate their prostrating themselves before the angels, but a respectful and reverential declining of their heads, and looking downward, that they might not appear to gaze, which is well known to have been forbidden to the Jews upon the sight of a celestial vision. See Exodus 19:21.Judges 13:20; Judges 13:20.—Because the women were exceedinglyafraid when the first angel appeared, he spake to them with themost condescending mildness.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Luke 24:5
5. Why, c.—Astonishing question! not "the risen," but "the Living One" (compare Revelation 1:18) and the surprise expressed in it implies an incongruity in His being there at all, as if, though He might submit to it, "it was impossible He should be holden of it" (Revelation 1:18- :). read more
