The Resurrection of Christ. The women at the grave:... [ Continue Reading ]
NOW UPON THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, VERY EARLY IN THE MORNING, THEY CAME UNTO THE SEPULCHER, BRINGING THE SPICES WHICH THEY HAD PREPARED, AND CERTAIN OTHERS WITH THEM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY FOUND THE STONE ROLLED AWAY FROM THE SEPULCHER.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY ENTERED IN, AND FOUND NOT THE BODY OF THE LORD JESUS.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS THEY WERE MUCH PERPLEXED THEREABOUT, BEHOLD, TWO MEN STOOD BY THEM IN SHINING GARMENTS;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND AS THEY WERE AFRAID, AND BOWED DOWN THEIR FACES TO THE EARTH, THEY SAID UNTO THEM, WHY SEEK YE THE LIVING AMONG THE DEAD?... [ Continue Reading ]
HE IS NOT HERE, BUT IS RISEN; REMEMBER HOW HE SPAKE UNTO YOU WHEN HE WAS YET IN GALILEE,... [ Continue Reading ]
SAYING, THE SON OF MAN MUST BE DELIVERED INTO THE HANDS OF SINFUL MEN, AND BE CRUCIFIED, AND THE THIRD DAY RISE AGAIN. See Matthew 28:1; Mark 16:1. On the first day of the week according to Christian reckoning, which Luke employs on account of his readers, very early in the morning, literally at dee... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY REMEMBERED HIS WORDS,... [ Continue Reading ]
Belief of the women, unbelief of the apostles:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND RETURNED FROM THE SEPULCHER, AND TOLD ALL THESE THINGS UNTO THE ELEVEN AND TO ALL THE REST.... [ Continue Reading ]
IT WAS MARY MAGDALENE, AND JOANNA, AND MARY, THE MOTHER OF JAMES, AND OTHER WOMEN THAT WERE WITH THEM, WHICH TOLD THESE THINGS UNTO THE APOSTLES.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEIR WORDS SEEMED TO THEM AS IDLE TALES, AND THEY BELIEVED THEM NOT.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN AROSE PETER, AND RAN UNTO THE SEPULCHER; AND STOOPING DOWN, HE BEHELD THE LINEN CLOTHES LAID BY THEMSELVES, AND DEPARTED, WONDERING IN HIMSELF AT THAT WHICH WAS COME TO PASS. As the angels delivered their message, the women recalled the saying of Jesus perfectly. And there was no longer doubt i... [ Continue Reading ]
AND, BEHOLD, TWO OF THEM WENT THAT SAME DAY TO A VILLAGE CALLED EMMAUS, WHICH WAS FROM JERUSALEM ABOUT THREESCORE FURLONGS.... [ Continue Reading ]
THE EMMAUS DISCIPLES. The walk to Emmaus:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY TALKED TOGETHER OF ALL THESE THINGS WHICH HAD HAPPENED.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IT CAME TO PASS THAT, WHILE THEY COMMUNED TOGETHER AND REASONED, JESUS HIMSELF DREW NEAR AND WENT WITH THEM.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THEIR EYES WERE HOLDEN THAT THEY SHOULD NOT KNOW HIM. "Two of them," not of the apostles, but of the larger body of the disciples. Most commentators agree in stating that Luke himself was one of the two men, and that he here tells his own experience in such graphic detail. Emmaus was a village l... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHAT MANNER OF COMMUNICATIONS ARE THESE THAT YE HAVE ONE TO ANOTHER AS YE WALK, AND ARE SAD?... [ Continue Reading ]
The conversation:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THE ONE OF THEM, WHOSE NAME WAS CLEOPAS, ANSWERING, SAID UNTO HIM, ART THOU ONLY A STRANGER IN JERUSALEM, AND HAST NOT KNOWN THE THINGS WHICH ARE COME TO PASS THERE IN THESE DAYS?... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHAT THINGS? AND THEY SAID UNTO HIM, CONCERNING JESUS OF NAZARETH, WHICH WAS A PROPHET MIGHTY IN DEED AND WORD BEFORE GOD AND ALL THE PEOPLE;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HOW THE CHIEF PRIESTS AND OUR RULERS DELIVERED HIM TO BE CONDEMNED TO DEATH, AND HAVE CRUCIFIED HIM.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT WE TRUSTED THAT IT HAD BEEN HE WHICH SHOULD HAVE REDEEMED ISRAEL; AND BESIDE ALL THIS, TODAY IS THE THIRD DAY SINCE THESE THINGS WERE DONE.... [ Continue Reading ]
YEA, AND CERTAIN WOMEN ALSO OF OUR COMPANY MADE US ASTONISHED, WHICH WERE EARLY AT THE SEPULCHER;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN THEY FOUND NOT HIS BODY, THEY CAME, SAYING, THAT THEY HAD ALSO SEEN A VISION OF ANGELS, WHICH SAID THAT HE WAS ALIVE.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND CERTAIN OF THEM WHICH WERE WITH US WENT TO THE SEPULCHER, AND FOUND IT EVEN SO AS THE WOMEN HAD SAID; BUT HIM THEY SAW NOT. The two disciples saw in Jesus only a companion by the way, and His entire manner tended to confirm this idea. He inquired of them, after the manner of a casual acquaintanc... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN HE SAID UNTO THEM, O FOOLS, AND SLOW OF HEART TO BELIEVE ALL THAT THE PROPHETS HAVE SPOKEN!... [ Continue Reading ]
Jesus, the kind Instructor:... [ Continue Reading ]
OUGHT NOT CHRIST TO HAVE SUFFERED THESE THINGS, AND TO ENTER INTO HIS GLORY?... [ Continue Reading ]
AND BEGINNING AT MOSES AND ALL THE PROPHETS, HE EXPOUNDED UNTO THEM IN ALL THE SCRIPTURES THE THINGS CONCERNING HIMSELF.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY DREW NIGH UNTO THE VILLAGE WHITHER THEY WENT; AND HE MADE AS THOUGH HE WOULD HAVE GONE FURTHER.... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THEY CONSTRAINED HIM, SAYING, ABIDE WITH US; FOR IT IS TOWARD EVENING, AND THE DAY IS FAR SPENT. AND HE WENT IN TO TARRY WITH THEM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IT CAME TO PASS, AS HE SAT AT MEAT WITH THEM, HE TOOK BREAD, AND BLESSED IT, AND BRAKE, AND GAVE TO THEM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEIR EYES WERE OPENED, AND THEY KNEW HIM; AND HE VANISHED OUT OF THEIR SIGHT. The two, Emmaus pilgrims had opened their hearts to the Lord, for out of the fullness of the heart the mouth speaketh. It was such a full and free confession as they would not have thought of making in ninety-nine cas... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY SAID ONE TO ANOTHER, DID NOT OUR HEART BURN WITHIN US WHILE HE TALKED WITH US BY THE WAY, AND WHILE HE OPENED TO US THE SCRIPTURES?... [ Continue Reading ]
Mutual expressions of joy:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY ROSE UP THE SAME HOUR, AND RETURNED TO JERUSALEM, AND FOUND THE ELEVEN GATHERED TOGETHER, AND THEM THAT WERE WITH THEM,... [ Continue Reading ]
SAYING, THE LORD IS RISEN INDEED, AND HATH APPEARED TO SIMON.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY TOLD WHAT THINGS WERE DONE IN THE WAY, AND HOW HE WAS KNOWN OF THEM IN BREAKING OF BREAD. The vanishing of Christ did not fill the hearts of these two men with new sorrow and fear. They had the blessed remembrance of the words of Jesus which He had spoken to them on the way. Full of eager h... [ Continue Reading ]
AND AS THEY THUS SPAKE, JESUS HIMSELF STOOD IN THE MIDST OF THEM AND SAITH UNTO THEM, PEACE BE UNTO YOU!... [ Continue Reading ]
THE LAST APPEARANCES OF CHRIST. Easter evening:... [ Continue Reading ]
BUT THEY WERE TERRIFIED AND AFFRIGHTED, AND SUPPOSED THAT THEY HAD SEEN A SPIRIT.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, WHY ARE YE TROUBLED, AND WHY DO THOUGHTS ARISE IN YOUR HEARTS?... [ Continue Reading ]
BEHOLD MY HANDS AND MY FEET, THAT IT IS I MYSELF; HANDLE ME AND SEE; FOR A SPIRIT HATH NOT FLESH AND BONES, AS YE SEE ME HAVE.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHEN HE HAD THUS SPOKEN, HE SHOWED THEM HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET. While the Emmaus disciples were still recounting the happenings of the afternoon, Jesus Himself suddenly stood in the midst of the assembly, His appearance here being as unexpected as His departure from Emmaus had been few hours bef... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WHILE THEY YET BELIEVED NOT FOR JOY, AND WONDERED, HE SAID UNTO THEM, HAVE YE HERE ANY MEAT?... [ Continue Reading ]
Further proof of the Risen Savior's reality:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY GAVE HIM A PIECE OF A BROILED FISH, AND OF AN HONEYCOMB.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE TOOK IT AND DID EAT BEFORE THEM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE SAID UNTO THEM, THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH I SPAKE UNTO YOU WHILE I WAS YET WITH YOU, THAT ALL THINGS MUST BE FULFILLED WHICH WERE WRITTEN IN THE LAW OF MOSES, AND IN THE PROPHETS, AND IN THE PSALMS, CONCERNING ME.... [ Continue Reading ]
THEN OPENED HE THEIR UNDERSTANDING, THAT THEY MIGHT UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES,... [ Continue Reading ]
AND SAID UNTO THEM, THUS IT IS WRITTEN, AND THUS IT BEHOOVED CHRIST TO SUFFER, AND TO RISE FROM THE DEAD THE THIRD DAY;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THAT REPENTANCE AND REMISSION OF SINS SHOULD BE PREACHED IN HIS NAME AMONG ALL NATIONS, BEGINNING AT JERUSALEM.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND YE ARE WITNESSES OF THESE THINGS.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND, BEHOLD, I SEND THE PROMISE OF MY FATHER UPON YOU; BUT TARRY YE IN THE CITY OF JERUSALEM UNTIL YE BE ENDUED WITH POWER FROM ON HIGH. Unbelievers from joy: lifted out of the depths of despair, doubt, suspicion, and fear to the very pinnacle of glorious assurance, the reaction proves too much for... [ Continue Reading ]
AND HE LED THEM OUT AS FAR AS TO BETHANY. AND HE LIFTED UP HIS HANDS AND BLESSED THEM.... [ Continue Reading ]
The ascension:... [ Continue Reading ]
AND IT CAME TO PASS, WHILE HE BLESSED THEM, HE WAS PARTED FROM THEM, AND CARRIED UP INTO HEAVEN.... [ Continue Reading ]
AND THEY WORSHIPED HIM, AND RETURNED TO JERUSALEM WITH GREAT JOY;... [ Continue Reading ]
AND WERE CONTINUALLY IN THE TEMPLE, PRAISING AND BLESSING GOD. AMEN. LUKE HERE, IN CONCLUDING HIS GOSPEL, SUMMARIZES, GIVING A BRIEF ACCOUNT OF THE ASCENSION WHICH TOOK PLACE FORTY DAYS LATER. On that day the Lord, having assembled His disciples for the last time, led them out to Mount Olivet, until... [ Continue Reading ]
