Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:1

Saturday was a day of rest, but when Sunday came the women went into action. [Note: See Zane C. Hodges, "The Women and the Empty Tomb," Bibliotheca Sacra 123:492 (October-December 1966):301-9.] Luke dated their arrival at the tomb at "early dawn." Dawn has obvious symbolic connotations. This day would signal the beginning of something entirely new, a new day in human history. They brought spices and perfume (Luke 23:56) to anoint the body of Jesus. They were the first to learn of the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:1-12

H. The resurrection of Jesus 24:1-12 (cf. Matthew 28:1-8; Mark 16:1-8; John 20:1-10)Luke’s account of the events following Jesus’ resurrection stresses the reality of that event and the reactions of the witnesses to it. All these people felt depressed because of Jesus’ death, but when they learned of His resurrection they became joyful and praised God. Thus the book concludes as it began with joy and rejoicing because of a miracle involving the salvation of humankind (cf. chs. 1-2)."Luke 24 and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:2-3

Luke stressed the absence of Jesus’ body more than the moving of the stone that sealed the tomb. All four evangelists mentioned the removal of the stone, probably because of its apologetic value. It was not just the spirit of Jesus that had departed but His body as well. Luke contrasted what the women found, the stone rolled away, with what they did not find, the body. The title "Lord Jesus" is new in Luke. It indicates the new status of the risen Christ. The early Christians used this title... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:4-5

Only Luke mentioned that there were two angels. Probably God sent two to convince the women that Jesus really had arisen (Deuteronomy 17:6; Deuteronomy 19:15; cf. Luke 2:25-38; Luke 24:48; Acts 1:8; Acts 1:22; Acts 2:32; Acts 3:15; Acts 5:32; et al.). They appeared to be men, but they were angels (Luke 24:23; Matthew 28:5), as their dazzling apparel (Gr. astraptouse, cf. Luke 9:29; Matthew 28:3; Acts 1:10) undoubtedly indicated to the women. The women responded to these "men" as to divine... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:5-7

The angels’ words stressed the fact that Jesus was alive. It was inappropriate to look for a living person in a tomb (cf. Acts 2:24). They then flatly declared that Jesus had risen from the dead and reminded the women of Jesus’ prophecy that He would rise after three days (Luke 9:22; Luke 9:43-45; Luke 18:31-33). Luke wrote that the meaning of Jesus’ prediction was incomprehensible to the disciples when He gave it (Luke 18:34; cf. Luke 24:16). However now God’s messenger clarified it. Note the... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 24:8-9

The women now remembered the predictions they had heard but had not understood. The Resurrection had begun to clarify many things that Jesus had previously taught His disciples (cf. Acts 11:16). The women then returned to the Eleven and the other disciples with their news. The angels had been witnesses of the Resurrection to the women, and now the women were witnesses of it to the rest of the disciples. They in turn would be witnesses of it to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). Luke probably... read more

Luke now introduced the identity of these female witnesses whose names he evidently omitted earlier to focus attention on the Resurrection itself.Women Who Visited the Tomb Easter MorningMatthew 28:1Mark 16:1Luke 24:10John 20:1Mary MagdaleneMary MagdaleneMary MagdaleneMary MagdaleneThe other Mary =Mary the mother of JamesMary the mother of JamesSalomeJoannaothersSalome was apparently the mother of Zebedee’s sons (i.e., James and John, Matthew 27:56) and the sister of Jesus’ mother (John 19:25).... read more
