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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:5-6

THE APPEAL OF EASTER‘Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen.’Luke 24:5-Joshua :There is a tone of gentle remonstrance in these words of protest against an unseasonable sadness on the day of earth’s greatest joy. ‘O ye of little faith,’ the angels would seem to say, ‘less faith than love, more dutiful than understanding, why come ye to anoint His body on the third day?’ I. Love surviving death.—And yet, remonstrate as they might, we feel that the angels recognised... read more

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

‘But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb, bringing the spices which they had prepared.’ ‘On the first day of the week.’ This is literally ‘on the first of the sabbaths’. It is a phrase that regularly indicates what we see as the first day of the week. But the word ‘sabbaths’ was used to indicate the seven days in a seven day period ending on a sabbath. Thus the ‘first of the sabbaths’ was Sunday (commencing at sunset on Saturday). ‘At early dawn.’ Literally ‘at... read more

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'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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:4

‘And it came to about that while they were perplexed about it, behold, two men stood by them in dazzling apparel,’ And it was while they were still perplexed, a state which would certainly have continued for some time had they not met the angels, that they became aware of two men standing by them in ‘dazzling clothing’. Both Mark and Matthew only mention one. Mark describes one who was sitting in a particular place who spoke to them. This does not discount the presence of a second, but... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:5

‘And as they were afraid and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said to them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?”’ The appearance of the men was such that the women were afraid, and ‘bowed down their faces’ before the men. This may have been because of the brightness of the light, or simply because they were filled with awe. But the men gently asked them, “Why do you seek the living among the dead?” Given what follows it was a clear indication that the reason why Jesus’ body was... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:6-7

“He is not here, but is risen. Remember how he spoke to 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.” The men then made clear exactly what they meant, ‘“He is not here, but is risen’. And lest there be any doubt they linked it with Jesus’ promise, given while they had all been with Him in Galilee, that having suffered, and having died, He would rise again on the third day. The words... 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
