Luke 24:28 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Ver. 28,29. I do not understand how some conclude from hence the lawfulness of dissembling, or telling a lie, in some cases, because the evangelist saith our Saviour made as though he would have gone further, and did not; for without doubt our Saviour had gone further if the disciples had not been urgent with him to have staid: nor did he stay long there, as we shall hear by and by.

Luke 24:28

28 And they drew nigh unto the village, whither they went: and he made as though he would have gone further.
