Bible Comments

LUKE CHAPTER 24 Luke 24:1-11 Christ's resurrection is declared by two angels to the women that came to the sepulchre, who report it to others, but are not believed. Luke 24:12 Peter visiteth the sepulchre. Luke 24:13-35 Christ appeareth to two disciples going to Emmaus, Luke 24:36-48 and to the apostles, eating before them, and explaining the Scriptures concerning himself. Luke 24:49 He promises them the Holy Ghost, Luke 24:50-53 and ascendeth into heaven. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were the two women that took up their seat right over against the sepulchre, to see where Christ was laid, Matthew 27:61 Mark 15:47. They had bought spices some time of that day after they knew he must die, or else they bought them immediately after his burial, as they went home, for they rested on the sabbath day. They had now got some others into their society, and came very early upon the first day of the week, (See Poole on "Matthew 28:1", as to the particular time), intending to show their last act of love to their friend by embalming his body.

Luke 24:1
