Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 24:1-4

Luke THE FIRST EASTER SUNRISE Luk_24:1 - Luk_24:12 . No Evangelist narrates the act of Resurrection. Apocryphal Gospels cannot resist the temptation of describing it. Why did the Four preserve such singular reticence about what would have been irresistible to ‘myth’ makers? Because they were not myth-makers, but witnesses, and had nothing to say as to an act that no man had seen. No doubt, the Resurrection took place in the earliest hours of the first day of the week. The Sun of... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Luke 24:1-12

the Empty Tomb Luke 24:1-12 The most perplexing question for those who deny Christ’s resurrection is, “What became of His body if He did not rise?” If foes stole it, they would have produced it in disproof of the allegations of the Apostles. If friends had taken it, they would certainly have borne it off wrapped in the cerements of death; but these were left behind and wrapped together in such an orderly fashion that evidently there had been neither violence nor haste. Notice the stress that... 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

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1-12

All Are Puzzled Over The Empty Tomb (24:1-12). When at last the time came for them to be able to go to the tomb, the women carried out the final preparations on the spices and ointments ,and as Mark suggests, having found that they had insufficient for the purpose among them, had to hurry out to buy more. Both activities were likely in the circumstances, for they would carry some with them, but as they were only in Jerusalem as visitors and would be unlikely to have with them all that was... read more

Peter Pett

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 24:2-3

‘And they found the stone rolled away from the tomb, and they entered in, and did not find the body of the Lord Jesus.’ What the group of women found is simply and briefly described. They found the tomb open with the stone rolled away from the entrance, but when they entered it did not find the body of the Lord Jesus, which is what they were looking for. This perplexed them. What were they going to do now? This situation was totally unexpected and would suggest to them that someone had removed... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1-12

Luke 24:1-2 Kings : . The Empty Tomb ( Mark 16:1-Ruth : *, Matthew 28:1-2 Samuel : *).— Lk. tells of “ two men” in place of Mk.’ s “ young man.” They remind the women that Jesus had foretold His resurrection. Instead of the injunction to meet Him in Galilee, the prediction is said to have been spoken in Galilee. Lk. (like Jn. apart from Luke 24:21) does not mention any resurrection appearances outside Jerusalem and its neighbourhood. The women tell the eleven and the other disciples ( cf. ... read more

The stone which Joseph had rolled to the mouth of the sepulchre, when he had laid in the body, Matthew 27:60, and the Jews had sealed, Matthew 27:66, and which, as they came walking, they were so troubled about, how they should get it removed, Mark 16:3. How it came to be rolled away Matthew telleth us, Matthew 28:2. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Luke 24:1-12

CRITICAL NOTESLuke 24:1. Very early in the morning.—Rather, “at early dawn” (R.V.); lit. “deep dawn.” And certain others with them.—Omit these words; omitted in R.V. Probably a harmonistic insertion.Luke 24:4. Two men.—I.e., men in appearance. Shining garments.—Rather, “dazzling apparel” (R.V.); the word “shining” literally meaning “flashing.”Luke 24:5. The living.—The ground of the rebuke lies in the designation applied to our Lord, “the Living One” (absolutely)—He who hath life in Himself... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Luke 24:1-53

Chapter 24Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came to the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and they found not the body of the Lord Jesus. And it came to pass, as they were very perplexed, behold, two men stood my them in shining garments: And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek... read more
