Luke 24:23 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 24:23

21 But we were hoping ^athat it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since these things happened.

22 Yes, and ^acertain women of our company, who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us.

23 When they did not find His body, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said He was alive.

24 And ^acertain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see.”

25 Then He said to them, “O foolish ones, and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

26 ^aOught not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into His ^bglory?”

27 And beginning at ^aMoses and ^ball the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself.

The Disciples’ Eyes Opened

28 Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and ^aHe indicated that He would have gone farther.

29 But ^athey constrained Him, saying, ^b“Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them.

30 Now it came to pass, as ^aHe sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them.

31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight.

32 And they said to one another, “Did not our heart burn within us while He talked with us on the road, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?”

33 So they rose up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem, and found the eleven and those who were with them gathered together,

34 saying, “The Lord is risen indeed, and ^ahas appeared to Simon!”

35 And they told about the things that had happened on the road, and how He was¹ known to them in the breaking of bread.

Jesus Appears to His Disciples

36 ^aNow as they said these things, Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, “Peace to you.”

37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen ^aa spirit.
