Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Luke 24:36-49

Five times Christ was seen the same day that he rose: by Mary Magdalene alone in the garden (John 20:14), by the women as they were going to tell the disciples (Matt. 28:9), by Peter alone, by the two disciples going to Emmaus, and now at night by the eleven, of which we have an account in these verses, as also John 20:19. Observe, 1. The great surprise which his appearing gave them. He came in among them very seasonably, as they were comparing notes concerning the proofs of his resurrection:... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Luke 24:36-49

24:36-49 While they were still speaking, Jesus stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to you!" They were terrified and afraid, because they thought that they were seeing a spirit. He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do the questions arise in your heart? See my hands and my feet--that it is I--myself. Handle me and see, for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have." And when he had said this he showed them his hands and his feet. When they still thought... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:40

And when he had thus spoken ,.... And put them into a method of satisfying themselves by their senses: he showed them his hands and his feet ; that is, he held them forth to be seen and handled by them, which no doubt they did; and which were the infallible proofs by which he showed himself alive to them after his passion; and by which they knew the truth of his incarnation, or that he assumed a true and real body, and of the resurrection of the same body; see Acts 1:3 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:41

And while they yet believed not for joy ,.... Though they had been prepared for the belief of resurrection, by the report of the women, the relation of Simon Peter, and the account of the two disciples that came from Emmaus; yet such was the joy they were transported with, upon the evidence of it, the news was so good, and the favour and benefit so great, that they could scarcely believe their own senses of seeing and feeling: and wondered ; at the sight of their risen Lord, and at the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:42

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish ,.... Which was left by them at supper, of which they had been eating; for being fishermen, most of them, this was agreeable food to them: and of an honeycomb ; not to eat with the fish, but after it. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:43

And he took it, and did eat before them. That is, he took both the fish, and the honeycomb, and ate of them before them, they looking on all the while; and which was a proof of his being truly risen from the dead, and not a spectre, or apparition, and which they failed not afterwards to make use of; see Acts 10:41 . The Vulgate Latin, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions add, "he took the rest, or what remained, and gave it to them". read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:44

And he said unto them, these are the words which I spake unto you ,.... Or this is the substance of them, the sense and meaning of them; for what follows, we do not find any where expressed in so many words: while I was yet with you ; that is, whilst he was in his state of humiliation, whilst he dwelt among them, and had his abode with them; otherwise he was now with them, but not to continue with them; in a short time he was to ascend to his God, and their God, to his Father, and their... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:45

Then opened he their understanding ,.... He not only opened their hearts, to attend to what he said, and the proofs he gave of his resurrection from the dead in a true body; but he removed the veil from the eyes of their minds, and gave them an understanding of the sacred writings, respecting this matter: that they might understand the Scriptures ; concerning his sufferings, death, and resurrection, which they were very ignorant of before, and which were as a sealed book unto them, John... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 24:46

And he said unto them, thus it is written ,.... In the above cited books of the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms; not what after follows, in so many words, but the matter and substance thereof: and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day ; it was necessary, both because of the decree and appointment of God, and because of the prophecies and predictions of the Old Testament; see Luke 24:25 . read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 24:41

They - believed not for joy - They were so overcome with the joy of his resurrection, that they did not, for some time, properly receive the evidence that was before them - as we phrase it, they thought the news too good to be true. read more
