Luke 24:31 - Forerunner Commentary

Luke 24:31

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.

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.

38 And He said to them, “Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts?
