Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 16:12-13

162. On the road to Emmaus (Mark 16:12-13; Luke 24:13-35)That afternoon Jesus joined two sorrowful disciples who were walking from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus, but they did not recognize him (Mark 16:12; Luke 24:13-16). When they started to explain their sadness, they expressed surprise that their unknown companion had not heard about the crucifixion of Jesus. Their understanding of Jesus’ mission was not very clear, for they had hoped he would bring national liberation to Israel; but... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 16:14

163. Sunday night in Jerusalem (Mark 16:14; Luke 24:36-49; John 20:19-23)While the disciples were together discussing these miraculous appearances, Jesus suddenly appeared among them in the room, even though the doors were locked.

From there they could look out to the next stage of the kingdom’s mission, the Gentile nations beyond. The three and a half years public ministry of Jesus had been limited to Israel (cf. Matthew 10:5-6; Matthew 15:24; Romans 15:8), but the ministry that the risen Jesus now passed on to his disciples extended to all... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Mark 16:19-20

167. The ascension (Mark 16:19-20; Luke 24:50-53)From Jesus’ resurrection to his ascension was about six weeks, and during that time he gave his disciples further teaching on the kingdom of God (Acts 1:3). The overall content of that teaching is probably represented by the summary attached to the story of his first Sunday night appearance to the disciples. He showed them how his ministry on earth was the climax of God’s Old Testament purposes and the starting point for worldwide expansion... read more
