Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:13-15

Luke 24:13-15. And behold, two of them went—to—Emmaus,— The same day on which our Lord arose, one of his disciples, named Cleopas or Alpheus, the husband of Mary, who was sister of our Lord's mother, and who, in the history of his resurrection, is called Mary the mother of James, was travelling to Emmaus, a village about seven miles distant from Jerusalem, in company with another disciple whose name is not mentioned, and who, for that reason, is by some supposed to have been St. Luke himself;... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:16

Luke 24:16. But their eyes were holden,— St. Mark says that our Saviour appeared to the two disciples in another form, Mark 16:12. St. Luke, that their eyes were holden: who does not see that both evangelists, meant to express the same thing? If Jesus appeared in another form, their eyes of course were holden that they should not know him: all that the historians meant to intimate is, that there was an impediment which prevented their knowing him. That this might happen either in a natural way... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:22-23

Luke 24:22-23. Yea, and certain women also, &c.— The smallest attention will shew, that Cleopas and his companion do not here speak of Mary Magdalene's second information, given after she had seen the angels; because Jesus himself having appeared to her before she stirred from the spot, it is by no means probable, that she would relate the lesser, and omit the greater event. Neither do they speak of the informationwhichthewomen,MaryMagdalene'scompanions,gavetheapostlesafter they had seen... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:25

Luke 24:25. Then he said,—O fools, &c.— Again he said,—O thoughtless men;— ανοητοι . The word expresses a want of due attention and consideration. The slowness of Christ's friends to believe his resurrection, is so far from being an argument that the proofs of it were defective; that, on the contrary, their believing afterwards carries the greater weight: for it removes all suspicion of a collusion between Christ and them in his life-time; and also implies an impartial examination of the... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:27

Luke 24:27. And beginning at Moses, &c.— That his reproof might appear well founded, that their drooping spirits might be supported, and that they might be prepared for the discovery he was about to make of himself, which he explained all the types and prophesies of the Old Testament which relate to the Messiah's sufferings; such as the Mosaical sacrifices, the lifting up of the brazen serpent, the 22nd Psalm, the 53rd of Isaiah, &c. &c. It is no way necessary to suppose that... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:29

Luke 24:29. They constrained him,— They pressed him. Heylin, &c. See ch. Luke 14:23. We are told in the subsequent verses, that the disciples, having returned from Emmaus, were telling their brethren what had happened to them, when Jesus stood in the midst, and saluted them, Luke 24:35-36. Moreover, it is taken notice of, that this appearance happened on the first day of the week at even; John 20:19. These circumstances, together with the departure of the disciples, who went to Emmaus... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 24:30-31

Luke 24:30-31. And—as he sat at meat, &c.— The 31st verse shews that the impediment,orsupernaturalinfluence,whichhinderedtheirknowinghimbefore,was now removed. Yet granting that no supernatural impediment was then existing, our Saviour's very action of breaking bread, which was the office of the master of the family, plainly implied that he was no stranger, but their Master, though theydid not know him. Be this as it may, he had duly prepared them to receive the testimony of their senses,... read more
