Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 24:1

CONTENTS In folding up his Gospel, Luke relates in this Chapter, the necessary Witnesses to the Resurrection of Jesus.

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Luke 24:1-12

"Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them. (2) And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. (3) And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. (4) And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments: (5) And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Luke 24:5

It is worthy of remark, that none of the disciples or friends of Christ, were so much astonished and struck at the many apparitions of angels, &c. as to be cast down to the ground, as the guards and his enemies were, but only through respect and reverential fear looked down upon the ground. Nor even did any of them fall down prostrate to adore our Saviour, when he appeared to them; because Christ was not now to be sought in the earth, among the dead, but was risen, and was to be looked for... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:1-12

1-12 See the affection and respect the women showed to Christ, after he was dead and buried. Observe their surprise when they found the stone rolled away, and the grave empty. Christians often perplex themselves about that with which they should comfort and encourage themselves. They look rather to find their Master in his grave-clothes, than angels in their shining garments. The angels assure them that he is risen from the dead; is risen by his own power. These angels from heaven bring not any... read more

Frank Binford Hole

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

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

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Luke 24:5-6

Luke THE FIRST EASTER SUNRISE THE LIVING DEAD Luk_24:5 - Luk_24:6 . We can never understand the utter desolation of the days that lay betwixt Christ’s Death and His Resurrection. Our faith rests on centuries. We know that that grave was not even an interruption to the progress of His work, but was the straight road to His triumph and His glory. We know that it was the completion of the work of which the raising of the widow’s son and of Lazarus were but the beginnings. But these disciples... read more

Frederick Brotherton Meyer

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
