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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:29

ABIDE WITH US‘Abide with us: for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.’ Luke 24:29‘Abide with us.’—It is the prayer of two men; two men to whom God came. It is the only Easter-tide prayer recorded for us, and it is an ideal prayer for ourselves. I. The journey to Emmaus is as the journey of life.—We walk along by twos, or, more often, all alone. And life is perplexing. Things outside trouble us, and sometimes things within. We don’t understand. Things seem somehow as if they could... 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

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:13-34

Two Disciples Meet Jesus on the Road To Emmaus (24:13-34). The women having been brought to believe, Jesus now brings two ‘unknown’ disciples to belief. It may be that by these means He was hoping to bring most of the Apostles to belief before He appeared to them physically, so that they would have the greater blessing (John 20:29), and would obey Him by going to meet Him in Galilee (Mark 16:7), without Him having to appear to them in Jerusalem. But if so the hopes to some extent failed to... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:25

‘And he said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!” The Stranger’s reply came back to them as a rebuke. Not because it was harshly uttered, but because He apparently had more confidence in God’s promises than they had. It opened with a gentle remonstrance. ‘O foolish ones.’ We can sense the tenderness and slight exasperation that lies behind it. ‘Fools’ would be too strong a translation. He was not expressing any contempt. It was their lack... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:26

“Did it not behove the Christ (the Messiah) to suffer these things, and to enter into his glory?” For was it not right and fitting, indeed necessary, that the Messiah should suffer these things (compare Acts 3:18), thereby entering into His glory? Was that not what the Scriptures had said? The thought of glory may refer mainly to His crucifixion as the way of entering into His glory (see John 12:23-24), but if it was so it could only be in the light of the certainty of His resurrection.... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:27

‘And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself.’ And then to their amazement this Stranger began to give them a lesson from the Scriptures. Commencing with Genesis to Deuteronomy, and then going on to the prophets, He interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself (including those concerning the Messiah, taking the word in its widest sense as signifying the Promised One). The words suggest... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:28

‘And they drew nigh to the village, to which they were going, and he made as though he would go further.” We can imagine the fascination with which they listened to Him and recognised how little knowledge of the Scriptures they really had, and may well have regretted reaching their village so quickly. They no doubt saw Him as one of those people that the Master had regularly met and talked with, like for example Nicodemus (John 3:1-7). And on their arrival the Stranger made as though to take... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:29

‘And they constrained him, saying, “Stay with us, for it is towards evening, and the day is now far spent.” And he went in to stay with them.’ Equally correctly they ‘constrained Him’ (strongly pressed Him) to accept a night’s hospitality. Darkness was coming on and the roads could become dangerous for a solitary person, and even though there was a full moon, travelling in the dark could be unpleasant. Besides He must be hungry. And the Stranger accepted their invitation and went in to stay... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:13-35

Luke 24:13-Habakkuk : . The Appearance on the Way to Emmaus.— This exquisite story is told by Lk. only. The village is perhaps the Ammaus of Josephus, the modern Kolonije, five miles W. from Jerusalem. Luke 24:19 f . describes Jesus as a prophet who His friends hoped (till the hope was shattered by His death) might prove to be the Messiah. They are shown that Scripture foretold Messiah’ s death; it was necessary to His glory. That glory was apparently attained in the moment of the death (... read more
