1An dem erstenG3391 WochentageG4521 aberG1161, ganz in der FrüheG3722 G901, kamenG2064 sie zuG1909 der GruftG3418 und brachtenG5342 die SpezereienG759, dieG3739 sie bereitet hattenG2090. 2Sie fandenG2147 aberG1161 den SteinG3037 vonG575 der GruftG3419 weggewälztG617; 3undG2532 als sie hineingingenG1525, fandenG2147 sie den LeibG4983 des HerrnG2962 JesuG2424 nichtG3756. 4UndG2532 es geschahG1096, alsG1722 sie darüberG4012 G5127 in Verlegenheit warenG1280 ,G2532 sieheG2400, da standenG2186 zweiG1417 MännerG435 inG1722 strahlendenG797 KleidernG2067 beiG2186 ihnenG846. 5Als sieG846 aberG1161 von Furcht erfülltG1719 wurdenG1096 undG2532 das AngesichtG4383 zurG1519 ErdeG1093 neigtenG2827, sprachenG2036 sie zuG4314 ihnenG846: WasG5101 suchet ihrG2212 den LebendigenG2198 unterG3326 den TotenG3498 ? 6Er istG2076 nichtG3756 hierG5602, sondernG235 ist auferstandenG1453. Gedenket daranG3415, wieG5613 er zu euchG5213 geredet hatG2980, als er nochG2089 inG1722 GaliläaG1056 warG5607, 7indem er sagteG3004 G3754: Der SohnG5207 des MenschenG444 mußG1163 inG1519 die HändeG5495 sündigerG268 MenschenG444 überliefertG3860 undG2532 gekreuzigt werdenG4717 undG2532 am drittenG5154 TageG2250 auferstehenG450. 8UndG2532 sie gedachten anG3415 seineG846 WorteG4487; 9undG2532 sie kehrtenG5290 vonG575 der GruftG3419 zurückG5290 und verkündigtenG518 diesG5023 allesG3956 den ElfenG1733 undG2532 den übrigenG3062 allenG3956. 10Es warenG2258 aberG1161 die MariaG3137 MagdaleneG3094 undG2532 JohannaG2489 undG2532 MariaG3137, des JakobusG2385 Mutter, undG2532 die übrigenG3062 mitG4862 ihnenG846, welcheG3739 diesG5023 zuG4314 den ApostelnG652 sagtenG3004. 11UndG2532 ihreG846 RedenG4487 schienenG5316 vorG1799 ihnenG846 wieG5616 ein MärchenG3026, undG2532 sie glaubtenG569 ihnenG846 nichtG569. 12PetrusG4074 aberG1161 stand aufG450 und liefG5143 zuG1909 der GruftG3419; undG2532 sich hineinbückendG3879, siehtG991 er die leinenen TücherG3608 alleinG3441 liegenG2749, undG2532 er ging wegG565 nach Hause und verwunderteG2296 sichG4314 G1438 über das, was geschehen warG1096. 13UndG2532 sieheG2400, zweiG1417 vonG1537 ihnenG846 gingenG2258 G4198 anG1722 selbigemG846 TageG2250 nachG1519 einem DorfeG2968, mitG3739 NamenG3686 EmmausG1695 ,G568 sechzigG1835 StadienG4712 vonG575 JerusalemG2419 entfernt. 14UndG2532 sieG846 unterhielten sichG3656 miteinanderG4314 G240 überG4012 allesG3956 diesesG5130, was sich zugetragen hatteG4819. 15UndG2532 es geschahG1096, indemG1722 sieG846 sich unterhieltenG3656 undG2532 miteinander überlegtenG4802, daß JesusG2424 selbstG846 nahteG1448 und mitG4848 ihnenG846 gingG4848; 16aberG1161 ihreG846 AugenG3788 wurden gehaltenG2902, damit sie ihnG846 nichtG3361 erkenntenG1921. 17Er sprachG2036 aberG1161 zuG4314 ihnenG846: WasG5101 sind dasG3778 für RedenG3056, die ihr wandelndG4043 miteinanderG4314 G240 wechseltG474, undG2532 seidG2075 niedergeschlagenG4659 ? 18EinerG1520 aberG1161, mitG3739 NamenG3686 KleopasG2810, antworteteG611 und sprachG2036 zuG4314 ihmG846: Bist duG4771 der einzigeG3441, der inG1722 JerusalemG2419 weiltG3939 undG2532 nichtG3756 weißG1097, was inG1722 ihrG846 geschehenG1096 ist inG1722 diesenG5025 TagenG2250 ? 19UndG2532 er sprachG2036 zu ihnenG846: Was dennG4169 ? Sie aberG1161 sprachenG2036 zu ihmG846: Das vonG4012 JesuG2424, dem NazaräerG3480, derG3739 ein ProphetG4396 G435 warG1096, mächtigG1415 imG1722 WerkG2041 undG2532 WortG3056 vorG1726 GottG2316 undG2532 dem ganzenG3956 VolkeG2992; 20undG5037 wieG3704 ihn die HohenpriesterG749 undG2532 unsereG2257 OberstenG758 überliefertenG3860, umG1519 zum TodeG2288 verurteilt zu werdenG2917, undG2532 ihnG846 kreuzigtenG4717. 21WirG2249 aberG1161 hofftenG1679, daßG3754 er derG846 seiG2076, der IsraelG2474 erlösenG3084 solleG3195. DochG235 auch beiG4862 G1065 alledemG3956 G5125 istG71 es heuteG4594 derG5026 dritteG5154 TagG2250, seitdemG575 G3739 diesG5023 geschehen istG1096. 22AberG235 auchG2532 etlicheG5100 WeiberG1135 vonG1537 unsG2257 habenG1839 unsG2248 außer uns gebrachtG1839, die am frühen MorgenG3721 beiG1909 der GruftG3419 gewesen sindG1096, 23undG2532, als sie seinenG846 LeibG4983 nichtG3361 fandenG2147, kamenG2064 und sagtenG3004, daß sie auchG2532 ein GesichtG3701 von EngelnG32 gesehenG3708 hätten, welcheG3739 sagenG3004, daß erG846 lebeG2198. 24UndG2532 etliche von denenG5100, die mitG4862 unsG2254 sind, gingenG565 zuG1909 der GruftG3419 undG2532 fandenG2147 es soG3779, wieG2531 auchG2532 die WeiberG1135 gesagt hattenG2036; ihnG846 aberG1161 sahenG1492 sie nichtG3756. 25UndG2532 er sprachG2036 zuG4314 ihnenG846: OG5599 ihr UnverständigenG453 undG2532 trägenG1021 HerzensG2588, zu glaubenG4100 anG1909 allesG3956, wasG3739 die ProphetenG4396 geredet habenG2980! 26MußteG1163 nichtG3780 der ChristusG5547 diesG5023 leidenG3958 undG2532 inG1519 seineG846 HerrlichkeitG1391 eingehenG1525 ? 27UndG2532 vonG575 MosesG3475 undG2532 vonG575 allenG3956 ProphetenG4396 anfangendG756, erklärteG1329 er ihnenG846 inG1722 allenG3956 SchriftenG1124 das, was ihnG1438 betrafG4012. 28UndG2532 sie nahtenG1448 G1519 dem DorfeG2968, wohinG3757 sie gingenG4198; undG2532 er stellteG4364 sich, als wolle er weitergehenG4198 G4208. 29UndG2532 sie nötigtenG3849 ihnG846 und sagtenG3004: BleibeG3306 beiG3326 unsG2257, dennG3754 es istG2076 gegenG4314 AbendG2073, undG2532 der TagG2250 hat sich schon geneigtG2827. UndG2532 er ging hineinG1525, um beiG4862 ihnenG846 zu bleibenG3306. 30UndG2532 es geschahG1096, alsG1722 erG846 mitG3326 ihnenG846 zu Tische lagG2625, nahmG2983 er das BrotG740 und segneteG2127 es; undG2532 als er es gebrochen hatteG2806, reichteG1929 er es ihnenG846. 31IhreG846 AugenG3788 aberG1161 wurden aufgetanG1272, undG2532 sie erkanntenG1921 ihnG846; undG2532 erG846 wurdeG1096 ihnenG575 G846 unsichtbarG855. 32UndG2532 sie sprachenG2036 zueinanderG4314 G240: BrannteG2258 G2545 nichtG3780 unserG2257 HerzG2588 inG1722 unsG2254, alsG5613 er aufG1722 dem WegeG3598 zu unsG2254 redeteG2980, [und]G2532 alsG5613 er unsG2254 die SchriftenG1124 öffneteG1272 ? 33UndG2532 sie standenG450 zur selbigenG846 StundeG5610 aufG450 und kehrtenG5290 nachG1519 JerusalemG2419 zurückG5290. UndG2532 sie fandenG2147 die ElfeG1733 undG2532 die mitG4862 ihnenG846 waren versammeltG4867, 34welche sagtenG3004 G3754: Der HerrG2962 ist wirklichG3689 auferweckt wordenG1453 undG2532 dem SimonG4613 erschienenG3700. 35UndG2532 sie erzähltenG1834, was aufG1722 dem WegeG3598 geschehen war, undG2532 wieG5613 er von ihnenG846 erkanntG1097 worden warG1097 anG1722 dem BrechenG2800 des BrotesG740. 36Während sieG846 aberG1161 diesesG5023 redetenG2980, standG2476 erG2424 selbstG846 inG1722 ihrerG846 MitteG3319 undG2532 sprichtG3004 zu ihnenG846: FriedeG1515 euchG5213! 37Sie aberG1161 erschrakenG4422 undG2532 wurdenG1096 von Furcht erfülltG1719 und meintenG1380, sie sähenG2334 einen GeistG4151. 38UndG2532 er sprachG2036 zu ihnenG846: WasG5101 seid ihrG2075 bestürztG5015, undG2532 warumG1302 steigenG305 GedankenG1261 aufG305 inG1722 eurenG5216 HerzenG2588 ? 39SehetG1492 meineG3450 HändeG5495 undG2532 meineG3450 FüßeG4228, daßG3754 ichG1473 es selbstG846 binG1510; betastetG5584 michG3165 undG2532 sehetG1492, dennG3754 ein GeistG4151 hatG2192 nichtG3756 FleischG4561 undG2532 BeinG3747, wieG2531 ihr sehetG2334, daß ichG1691 habeG2192. 40UndG2532 als er diesG5124 gesagt hatteG2036, zeigte erG1925 ihnenG846 die HändeG5495 undG2532 die FüßeG4228. 41Als sie aberG1161 nochG2089 nicht glaubtenG569 vorG575 FreudeG5479 undG2532 sich verwundertenG2296, sprach erG2036 zu ihnenG846: Habt ihrG2192 hierG1759 etwasG5100 zu essenG1034 ? 42Sie aberG1161 reichtenG1929 ihmG846 ein StückG3313 gebratenenG3702 FischG2486 [undG2532 vonG575 einer Honigscheibe]G3193 G2781; 43undG2532 er nahmG2983 und aßG5315 vorG1799 ihnenG846. 44Er sprachG2036 aberG1161 zu ihnenG846: DiesG3778 sind die WorteG3056, dieG3739 ich zuG4314 euchG5209 redeteG2980, als ich nochG2089 beiG4862 euchG5213 warG5607, daßG3754 allesG3956 erfüllt werdenG4137 mußG1163, wasG3588 überG4012 michG1700 geschrieben stehtG1125 inG1722 dem GesetzG3551 Moses'G3475 undG2532 den ProphetenG4396 undG2532 PsalmenG5568. 45DannG5119 öffneteG1272 er ihnenG846 das VerständnisG3563, um die SchriftenG1124 zu verstehenG4920, 46undG2532 sprachG2036 zu ihnenG846 G3754: AlsoG3779 steht geschriebenG1125, undG2532 alsoG3779 mußteG1163 der ChristusG5547 leidenG3958 undG2532 am drittenG5154 TageG2250 auferstehenG450 ausG1537 den TotenG3498, 47undG2532 inG1909 seinemG846 NamenG3686 BußeG3341 undG2532 VergebungG859 der SündenG266 gepredigt werdenG2784 allenG1519 G3956 NationenG1484, anfangendG756 vonG575 JerusalemG2419. 48IhrG5210 aberG1161 seidG2075 ZeugenG3144 hiervonG5130; 49undG2532 sieheG2400, ichG1473 sendeG649 die VerheißungG1860 meinesG3450 VatersG3962 aufG1909 euchG5209. IhrG5210 aberG1161, bleibetG2523 inG1722 der StadtG4172 G2419, bisG2193 ihrG3739 angetan werdetG1746 mit KraftG1411 ausG1537 der HöheG5311. 50Er führteG1806 sieG846 aberG1161 hinausG1854 bisG2193 nachG1519 BethanienG963 undG2532 hobG1869 seineG846 HändeG5495 aufG1869 und segneteG2127 sieG846. 51UndG2532 es geschahG1096, indemG1722 erG846 sieG846 segneteG2127, schiedG1339 er vonG575 ihnenG846 undG2532 wurde hinaufgetragenG399 inG1519 den HimmelG3772. 52UndG2532 sieG846 huldigtenG4352 ihmG846 und kehrtenG5290 nachG1519 JerusalemG2419 zurückG5290 mitG3326 großerG3173 FreudeG5479; 53undG2532 sie warenG2258 allezeitG1275 imG1722 TempelG2411, GottG2316 lobendG134 undG2532 preisendG2127.
Jamieson Fausset Brown Bible Commentary 5 ANGELIC ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE WOMEN THAT CHRIST IS RISEN--PETER'S VISIT TO THE EMPTY SEPULCHRE. (
Luke 24:1-
Luke 24:12)
Why, &c.--Astonishing question! not "the risen," but "the Living One" (compare
Rev 1:18); and the surprise expressed in it implies an incongruity in His being there at all, as if, though He might submit to it, "it was impossible He should be holden of it" (
Acts 2:24).
6 in Galilee--to which these women themselves belonged (
Luke 23:55).
7 Saying, &c.--How remarkable it is to hear angels quoting a whole sentence of Christ's to the disciples, mentioning where it was uttered, and wondering it was not fresh in their memory, as doubtless it was in theirs! (
1Tim 3:16, "seen of angels," and
1Pet 1:12).
10 Joanna--(See on
Luke 8:1-
Luke 8:3).
12 Peter, &c.--(See on
John 20:1-
John 20:10).
13 CHRIST APPEARS TO THE TWO GOING TO EMMAUS. (Luke 24:13-35)
two of them--One was Cleopas (
Luke 24:18); who the other was is mere conjecture.
Emmaus--about seven and a half miles from Jerusalem. They probably lived there and were going home after the Passover.
14 communed and reasoned--exchanged views and feelings, weighing afresh all the facts, as detailed in
Luke 24:18-
Luke 24:24.
drew near--coming up behind them as from Jerusalem.
eyes holden--Partly He was "in another form" (
Mark 16:12), and partly there seems to have been an operation on their own vision; though certainly, as they did not believe that He was alive, His company as a fellow traveller was the last thing they would expect,
17 communications, &c.--The words imply the earnest discussion that had appeared in their manner.
18 knowest not, &c.--If he knew not the events of the last few days in Jerusalem, he must be a mere sojourner; if he did, how could he suppose they would be talking of anything else? How artless all this!
19 Concerning Jesus, &c.--As if feeling it a relief to have someone to unburden his thoughts and feelings to, this disciple goes over the main facts in his own desponding style, and this was just what our Lord wished.
21 we trusted, &c.--They expected the promised Deliverance at His hand, but in the current sense of it, not by His death.
besides all this--not only did His death seem to give the fatal blow to their hopes, but He had been two days dead already, and this was the third. It is true, they add, some of our women gave us a surprise, telling us of a vision of angels they had at the empty grave this morning that said He was alive, and some of ourselves who went thither confirmed their statement; but then Himself they saw not. A doleful tale truly, told out of the deepest despondency.
25 fools--senseless, without understanding.
26 Ought not Christ--"the Christ," "the Messiah."
to suffer . . . and enter--that is, through the gate of suffering (and suffering "these things," or such a death) to enter into His glory. "Ye believe in the glory; but these very sufferings are the predicted gate of entrance into it."
27 Moses and all the prophets, &c.--Here our Lord both teaches us the reverence due to Old Testament Scripture, and the great burden of it--"Himself."
28 made as though, &c.--(Compare
Mark 6:48;
Gen 18:3,
Gen 18:5;
Gen 32:24-
Gen 32:26).
29 constrained, &c.--But for this, the whole design of the interview had been lost; but it was not to be lost, for He who only wished to be constrained had kindled a longing in the hearts of His travelling companions which was not to be so easily put off. And does not this still repeat itself in the interviews of the Saviour with His loving, longing disciples? Else why do they say,
Abide with me from morn to eve,
For without Thee I cannot live;
Abide with me when night is nigh,
For without Thee I cannot die.
KEBLE
30 he took . . . and blessed . . . and their eyes were opened--The stranger first startles them by taking the place of master at their own table, but on proceeding to that act which reproduced the whole scene of the last Supper, a rush of associations and recollections disclosed their guest, and He stood confessed before their astonished gaze--THEIR RISEN LORD! They were going to gaze on Him, perhaps embrace Him, but that moment He is gone! It was enough.
32 They now tell each to the other how their hearts burned--were fired--within them at His talk and His expositions of Scripture. "Ah! this accounts for it: We could not understand the glow of self-evidencing light, love, glory that ravished our hearts; but now we do." They cannot rest--how could they?--they must go straight back and tell the news. They find the eleven, but ere they have time to tell their tale, their ears are saluted with the thrilling news, "The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon." Most touching and precious intelligence this. The only one of the Eleven to whom He appeared alone was he, it seems, who had so shamefully denied Him. What passed at that interview we shall never know here. Probably it was too sacred for disclosure. (See on
Mark 16:7). The two from Emmaus now relate what had happened to them, and while thus comparing notes of their Lord's appearances, lo! Christ Himself stands in the midst of them. What encouragement to doubting, dark, true-hearted disciples!
36 JESUS APPEARS TO THE ASSEMBLED DISCIPLES--HIS ASCENSION. (Luke 24:36-53)
Jesus . . . stood--(See on
John 20:19).
37 a spirit--the ghost of their dead Lord, but not Himself in the body (
Acts 12:15;
Matt 14:26).
thoughts--rather, "reasonings"; that is, whether He were risen or no, and whether this was His very self.
39 Behold, &c.--lovingly offering them both ocular and tangible demonstration of the reality of His resurrection.
a spirit hath not--an important statement regarding "spirits."
flesh and bones--He says not "flesh and blood"; for the blood is the life of the animal and corruptible body (
Gen 9:4), which "cannot inherit the kingdom of God" (
1Cor 15:50); but "flesh and bones," implying the identity, but with diversity of laws, of the resurrection body. (See on
John 20:24-
John 20:28).
41 believed not for joy, &c.--They did believe, else they had not rejoiced [BENGEL]. But it seemed too good to be true (
Ps 126:1-
Ps 126:2).
42 honeycomb--common frugal fare, anciently.
43 eat before them--that is, let them see Him doing it: not for His own necessity, but their conviction.
44 These are the words, &c.--that is, "Now you will understand what seemed so dark to you when I told you about the Son of man being put to death and rising again" (
Luke 18:31-
Luke 18:34).
while . . . yet with you--a striking expression, implying that He was now, as the dead and risen Saviour, virtually dissevered from this scene of mortality, and from all ordinary intercourse with His mortal disciples.
law . . . prophets . . . psalms--the three Jewish divisions of the Old Testament Scriptures.
45 Then opened he, &c.--a statement of unspeakable value; expressing, on the one hand, Christ's immediate access to the human spirit and absolute power over it, to the adjustment of its vision, and permanent rectification for spiritual discernment (than which it is impossible to conceive a stronger evidence of His proper divinity); and, on the other hand, making it certain that the manner of interpreting the Old Testament which the apostles afterwards employed (see the Acts and Epistles), has the direct sanction of Christ Himself.
46 behoved Christ--(See on
Luke 24:26).
47 beginning at Jerusalem--(1) As the metropolis and heart of the then existing kingdom of God:--"to the Jew first" (
Rom 1:16;
Acts 13:46;
Isa 2:3, see on
Matt 10:6). (2) As the great reservoir and laboratory of all the sin and crime of the nation, thus proclaiming for all time that there is mercy in Christ for the chief of sinners. (See on
Matt 23:37).
48 witnesses--(Compare
Acts 1:8,
Acts 1:22).
49 I send--the present tense, to intimate its nearness.
promise of my Father--that is, what My Father hath promised; the Holy Ghost, of which Christ is the authoritative Dispenser (
John 14:7;
Rev 3:1;
Rev 5:6).
endued--invested, or clothed with; implying, as the parallels show (
Rom 13:14;
1Cor 15:53;
Gal 3:27;
Col 3:9-
Col 3:10), their being so penetrated and acted upon by conscious supernatural power (in the full sense of that word) as to stamp with divine authority the whole exercise of their apostolic office, including, of course, their pen as well as their mouth.
50 to Bethany--not to the village itself, but on the "descent" to it from Mount Olivet.
51 while he blessed . . . parted, &c.--Sweet intimation! Incarnate Love, Crucified Love, Risen Love, now on the wing for heaven, waiting only those odorous gales which were to waft Him to the skies, goes away in benedictions, that in the character of Glorified, Enthroned Love, He might continue His benedictions, but in yet higher form, until He come again! And oh, if angels were so transported at His birth into this scene of tears and death, what must have been their ecstasy as they welcomed and attended Him "far above all heavens" into the presence-chamber, and conducted Him to the right hand of the Majesty on High! Thou hast an everlasting right, O my Saviour, to that august place. The brightness of the Father's glory, enshrined in our nature, hath won it well; for He poured out His soul unto death, and led captivity captive, receiving gifts for men, yea for the rebellious, that the Lord God might dwell among them. Thou art the King of glory, O Christ. Lift up your heads, O ye gates, be lifted up, ye everlasting doors, that the King of glory may come in! Even so wilt Thou change these vile bodies of ours, that they may be like unto Thine own glorious body; and then with gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought, they shall enter into the King's palace!
52 worshipped him--certainly in the strictest sense of adoration.
returned to Jerusalem--as instructed to do: but not till after gazing, as if entranced, up into the blue vault in which He had disappeared, they were gently checked by two shining ones, who assured them He would come again to them in the like manner as He had gone into heaven. (See on
Acts 1:10-
Acts 1:11). This made them return, not with disappointment at His removal, but "with great joy."
53 were continually in the temple--that is, every day at the regular hours of prayer till the day of Pentecost.
