Luke
Chapter
24
{The
Resurrection}
24:1``Now,
on the first {day} of the week at early dawn
{the Gentile Sunday morning - and daybreak of the Jewish
'Sunday' that began on Saturday at sundown},
they
{the women} went to the tomb . . .
carrying
the aromatic oils they had prepared.
24:2``Now
they discovered/found the stone had been
'rolled
away in the past with results that last forever'
{apokulio - perfect tense - this was a huge stone that was rolled
down covering the opening of the grave tomb - a stone like this
might take 16 Roman soldiers to move it away}
from
the tomb.
24:3``And,
having entered in {the tomb},
they
absolutely did not {ouk} discover/find
the
body of the Lord Jesus.
24:4``And,
it came to pass {new scene/subject}
while
they were in a quandary concerning this . . .
behold
{pay attention} two noble men
{aner - actually they thought they were men, but they were
angels}
stood
beside them
in
'dazzling attire'/'garments that flashed like lightening' {astrapto}.
24:5``And,
they {the women}
having
become 'terribly frightened' {emphobos},
and
bowing their faces to the ground . . .
they
{the two noble men} said face to face with them,
"Why
do you look for the living among the dead?
24:6-7``He
{Jesus} is absolutely not {ouk} here . . .
but,
in contrast, He has been caused to rise {egeiro}.
{Jesus voluntarily set aside the power of His own Deity - He was
caused to be raised up by God the Father and God the Holy Spirit}
Remember
{an order} how He {Jesus} told you . . .
while
He was still in Galilee 24:7`` saying
that
the 'Son of Man'
must
be delivered/'betrayed over' {paradidomi}
into
the hands of sinful men,
and
be crucified,
and
on the third day . . . rise again."
{Note: Again, remember that Jesus had 'students' (which is often called 'disciples'). As students, they heard the teaching, but apparently, the meaning of the doctrine was a 'mystery' to them until now - the Church Age was starting to begin (note - see Acts - there were 3 'Pentecosts' - the Jewish, Samaritan, and Gentile Pentecostal events. Those who were believers before the Church Age, did not automatically convert to 'Church Age believer' status.}
24:8``And
. . . they remembered His Words/'teaching of Doctrines
{concerning the resurrection}'.
24:9``And,
having returned from the tomb,
they
'brought back tidings'/reported {apaggello}
all
these things to the eleven
{the 12 apostles Jesus selected except Judas Iscariot}
and
to all the loipoy/'rest of this class of people' {loipoy}.
24:10``And,
there kept on being Mary, the Magdalene,
{it is always of interest to be listed first - Mary Magdalene was
probably the most spiritually mature of all of Jesus' students - she
probably lead the group to the tomb - and being spiritually mature,
she must have understood how to love Jesus . . . and did love Him
very much}
and
Joanna . . . and Mary the mother of James . . .
and
the loipoy/'rest of this class of people' {loipoy} with them
who
kept on telling these things
face
to face with the apostles {apostolos}.
24:11``And,
these words . . . seemed/'appeared in their sight'
'as
the wild talk of those in delirium or hysteria'/
'seemed
like pure nonsense' {leros} to them . . .
and
they did not believe them.
{Note: Once more, these men had the greatest bible teacher in the world! Yet, in three years of face to face teaching, they had not grown to completely understand Divine Viewpoint. To them what their 'common sense' told them was true, was true. Mature believers understand that if it is a contest between what their eyes see and the bible says . . . the Bible is correct! (if correctly translated and properly applied!). And, YOU must decide this for yourself! Even your pastor teacher can NOT be your crutch! A mature believer is self-sustaining. Woe to the man who puts his trust in man. Yes, follow his teaching and search the bible to prove him RIGHT! (to prove him wrong is evil and false motivation) - but YOU are ultimately responsible for your own spiritual growth!}
24:12``Then
arising/'rising up', Peter ran to the tomb . . .
and,
bending over, he glanced at {blepo}
'the
strips of linen cloth for swathing the dead' {othonion}
'lying
by themselves discarded of one buried' {keimai monos}.
And
he {Peter} went off . . .
wondering
{thaumazo} to/'face to face with' himself
what
had happened.
{Jesus
Walks the Road to Emmaus}
24:13``And,
behold {pay attention}
that
very day two of them were
'proceeding
on their way' {poreuomai}
going
to a village called by the name of Emmaus . . .
about
seven miles from Jerusalem.
{hexekonta (60) x stadion (600 feet) = 36000 feet}
24:14``And,
they themselves were conversing
face
to face with each other {alleon}
concerning
{peri} all the things
that
had happened in the past
with
results that last forever {sumbaino - perfect tense}.
24:15-16``And
it came to pass {change of scene}
while
they were talking and debating . . .
Jesus
Himself, having drawn near,
kept
on accompanying {sumporeuomai} them
on
their way . . . 24:16``
(but
their eyes were kept from
recognizing/'having greater knowledge of' {epiginosko} Him.)
24:17``Then
He {Jesus} said to them,
"What
are these Words {logos} . . .
you
are 'arguing/tossing back and forth' {antiballo}
face
to face with one another as you walk along?"
And
they stood still . . .
looking
sad/'of gloomy countenance' {skuthropos}.
24:18``Then
one whose name was Cleopas,
'had
an answer for'/'gave a discerning answer
from
the ultimate source of himself to' {apokrinomai}
saying
face to face with Him,
"Are
you the only visitor to Jerusalem
who
absolutely does not {ouk}
'know
from study or experience' {ginosko}
the
things that have happened there in these days?"
24:19-20``And,
He {Jesus} said to them, "What things?"
They
replied to Him, "Concerning Jesus of Nazareth,
a
man who was a noble man {aner} . . .
a
prophet . . . mighty in deed and Doctrine/Word
in
the sight of {enantion} God
and
all the people . . . 24:20``
and
how the chief priests and our rulers
handed/betrayed
{paradidomi} Him over
to
be condemned to death, and crucified Him.
24:21``But
we kept on hoping {elpizo}
that
He {Jesus} was the One
Who
was going to redeem/deliver/liberate {lutroo} Israel.
Not
only this,
but
it is now the third day
since
these things happened.
24:22-23
Furthermore,
some
women of our group amazed/astonished {existemi} us . . .
having
come to the tomb early this morning, 24:23``
and
discovering/finding not His body,
they
came back saying they had seen a vision of angels . . .
who
said he was alive {zao}.
24:24``Then
certain of those with us went off to the tomb,
and
found it just as the women had said,
but
Him they absolutely did not {ouk} see."
24:25``And
He {Jesus} said to them,
"O
dull of perception {anoetos}
and
'slow of heart' to believe {pisteuo}
all
that the prophets have spoken!
24:26``Was
it not {ouk} absolutely necessary
for
the Christ/Messiah {Christos - the Anointed One}
to
suffer these things and enter into His glory?"
24:27``Then
beginning with Moses and all the prophets,
He
{Jesus} interpreted to them
the
things written about Himself in all the scriptures.
{Note: Think about this verse. Man! What an honor for these two men!}
24:28-29``So
they approached the village where they kept on going
and
He {Jesus} acted as though He wanted to go farther, 24:29``
but
they urged {parabiazomai} Him saying,
"Stay
with us {an order/strong request} . . .
because
it is getting towards evening
and
the day is almost done in the past with results that last
forever." So He {Jesus} went in to stay with them as their houseguest.
24:30``And,
it came to pass,
as
He {Jesus}had reclined at the table with them,
having
taken the bread, he offered thanks {eulogeo} and broke it,
and
kept on giving it to them.
24:31``Then,
their eyes were opened . . .
and
they recognized {epiginosko} Him . . .
then
He {Jesus} vanished {aphantos} out of their sight.
{Note: Remember Jesus is reclining at the table on one elbow. It would be very difficult for a man to get up and get out without being seen. This tells us some of the capabilities He has in His resurrection body - He can make it disappear at will.}
24:32``And,
they said face to face with each other,
"Was
not our hearts continually burning within us
while
He was speaking with us on the road . . .
while
He was explaining the scriptures to us?"
24:33-34``And,
rising up that very hour,they returned to Jerusalem
and
found the eleven gathered together . . .
and
those with them . . . 24:34`` saying,
"The
Lord has really risen . . .
and
has appeared to Simon!"
24:35``And
they kept on telling
what
had happened on the road,
and
how He was made known to them
by
the breaking of the bread.
24:36``And,
while they were saying these things,
Jesus
himself stood among them.
{Note:
According to Kenneth S. Wuest, the phrase "And said to them,
"Peace/'Inner happiness' {eirene} . . . {be} with you."
is
not part of the original manuscript.}
24:37``But
having become terrified {ptoeo}
and
affrighted {emphobos}, they kept on thinking
that
they were seeing a spirit {pneuma}.
24:38``And
He {Jesus} said to them,
"Why
are you 'mentally agitated'/troubled {tarasso} . . .
and
why do 'doubts'/questions against the Truth' {dialogismos}
arise
in your hearts/'right lobes'?
24:39``Look
at My hands and My feet {an order} . . .
"It
keeps on being . . . I . . . Myself!
Keep
on touching Me and seeing Me . . .
because
a spirit absolutely does not have flesh and bones
like
you 'perceive with your eyes' {theoreo}
that
I have."
24:40``Then
when He had spoken this,
He
{Jesus} showed them His hands and His feet.
24:41``But
they, still could not believe it . . .
for
joy {chara} and marveling,
He
said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat {brosimos}?"
{Note: Another thing we learn, the resurrection body can eat (and appears it does get hungry!).}
24:42-43``So
they gave him a piece of broiled fish, 24:43``
and
having taken it,
He
ate it in front of them.
24:44``Then
He {Jesus} said to them,
"These
are My Words/Doctrines {logos}
that
I spoke face to face with you . . . while I was still with you,
that
everything written - in the past with the result that they will
last
forever - about Me . . .
in
the law of Moses and the prophets and the psalms
must
be fulfilled {pleroo}."
24:45``Then
He opened their minds
so
they could understand the scriptures.
{Note: So, this verse explains to us that the students of Jesus were supernaturally prohibited from understanding the doctrines that are written in the scriptures until after His resurrection occurred.}
24:46-47``And
He {Jesus} said to them,
"Thus
it stands written - in the past
with
the result that they will last forever -
that
the Christ/Messiah would suffer
and
would rise from the dead on the third day . . . 24:47``
and
repentance { metanoia} and forgiveness of sins
should
be proclaimed . . . in His Name
to
all 'gentile nations' {ethnos} . . . beginning from Jerusalem.
24:48``Now
you keep on being witnesses of these things.
24:49``And
behold {pay attention - an order},
I
am 'sending on a mission under My authority'
the
'promised good' of My Father upon you.
But
stay in the city
until
you may be 'clothed with'/'endued with' {enduo}
power
{dunamis} out from High {hupsos}."
24:50``Then
He {Jesus} led them out as far as Bethany,
and
lifting up His hands, He blessed { eulogeo} them.
24:51``And,
it came to pass,
while
He {Jesus} was blessing them,
He
parted Himself {diistemi} from them . . .
{Note: Kenneth S. Wuest indicates the phrase 'and kept on taking Himself up into heaven' is not part of the original.}
24:52-53``And,
they kept on worshiping Him
and
returned themselves to Jerusalem . . . with great joy, 24:53``
and
kept on being continually in the temple
'celebrating
with praise' {eulogeo} . . . God.
{Note: Kenneth S. Wuest indicates the ending word 'Amen' which means 'I believe it' is not part of the original. Still . . . Amen!}
