(1Ch 15:26) And because that God helped the Leuites that bare the Arke of the couenant of the Lord, they offered seuen bullockes and seuen rammes.

Passage 3: Luke 24

(Luk 24:1) Nowe the first day of the weeke early in the morning, they came vnto the sepulchre, and brought the odours, which they had prepared, and certaine women with them.

(Notes Reference) Now upon the (1) first [day] of the week, very (a) early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain [others] with them.

(1) Poor humble women, who were certainly not expecting it, are chosen to be the first witnesses of the resurrection, so that there might not be any suspicion of either deceit or violence.

(a) Very early, as Mark says: or as John says, while it was yet dark, that is, when it was yet hardly the dawning of day.

(Luk 24:2) And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre,

(Luk 24:3) And went in, but found not the body of the Lord Iesus.

(Luk 24:4) And it came to passe, that as they were amased thereat, beholde, two men suddenly stood by them in shining vestures.

(Luk 24:5) And as they were afraide, and bowed downe their faces to the earth, they sayd to them, Why seeke ye him that liueth, among the dead?

(Luk 24:6) He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake vnto you, when he was yet in Galile,

(Luk 24:7) Saying, that the sonne of man must be deliuered into the hands of sinfull men, and be crucified, and the third day rise againe.

(Luk 24:8) And they remembred his wordes,

(Luk 24:9) And returned from the sepulchre, and tolde all these things vnto the eleuen, and to all the remnant.

(Notes Reference) (2) And returned from the sepulchre, and told all these things unto the eleven, and to all the rest.

(2) The cowardly and dastardly mind of the disciples is reproved by the brave courage of women (made so by God's great mercies) to show that the kingdom of God consists in an extraordinary power.

(Luk 24:10) Now it was Mary Magdalene, and Ioanna, and Mary the mother of Iames, and other women with them, which tolde these things vnto the Apostles.

(Luk 24:11) But their wordes seemed vnto them, as a fained thing, neither beleeued they them.

(Luk 24:12) Then arose Peter, and ran vnto the sepulchre, and looked in, and saw the linnen clothes laide by themselues, and departed wondering in himselfe at that which was come to passe.

(Notes Reference) (3) Then arose Peter, and ran unto the sepulchre; and (b) stooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid by themselves, and departed, wondering in himself at that which was come to pass.

(3) Christ uses the incredulity of his disciples for the fuller setting forth of the truth of his resurrection, lest they should seem to have believed that too lightly which they preached afterward to all the world.

(b) As it were holding down his head, and bowing his neck, looked diligently in.

(Luk 24:13) And beholde, two of them went that same day to a towne which was from Hierusalem about threescore furlongs, called Emmaus.

(Notes Reference) (4) And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem [about] threescore furlongs.

(4) The resurrection is proved by two other witnesses who saw it, and all the circumstances surrounding it declare that it was no forged event thought up on purpose in their own minds.

(Luk 24:14) And they talked together of al these things that were done.

(Luk 24:15) And it came to passe, as they communed together, and reasoned, that Iesus himselfe drewe neere, and went with them.

(Luk 24:16) But their eyes were holden, that they could not know him.

(Notes Reference) (c) But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.

(c) Were held back and stayed, God no doubt appointing this to be so: and therefore his body was not invisible, but rather their eyes were dimmed.

(Luk 24:17) And he sayd vnto them, What maner of communications are these that ye haue one to another as ye walke and are sad?

(Luk 24:18) And the one (named Cleopas) answered, and sayd vnto him, Art thou onely a stranger in Hierusalem, and hast not knowen the things which are come to passe therein in these dayes?

(Notes Reference) And (d) 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?

(d) Some of the old fathers think that the other disciple was the same evangelist who wrote this book, but Epiphanius, writing against the Saturnilians, says it was Nathanael; but none of these are certainties.

(Luk 24:19) And he said vnto them, What things? And they sayd vnto him, Of Iesus of Nazareth, which was a Prophet, mightie in deede and in word before God, and all people,

(Luk 24:20) And howe the hie Priests, and our rulers deliuered him to be condemned to death, and haue crucified him.

(Notes Reference) (5) And how the chief priests and our rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, and have crucified him.

(5) It appears by conferring the prophecies of the prophets that all those things are true and certain which the evangelist have put down in writing about Christ.

(Luk 24:21) But we trusted that it had bene he that should haue deliuered Israel, and as touching all these things, to day is ye third day, that they were done.

(Luk 24:22) Yea, and certaine women among vs made vs astonied, which came early vnto the sepulchre.

(Luk 24:23) And when they found not his body, they came, saying, that they had also seene a vision of Angels, which sayd, that he was aliue.

(Luk 24:24) Therefore certaine of them which were with vs, went to the sepulchre, and found it euen so as the women had sayd, but him they saw not.

(Luk 24:25) Then he sayd vnto them, O fooles and slowe of heart to beleeue all that the Prophets haue spoken!

(Luk 24:26) Ought not Christ to haue suffered these things, and to enter into his glory?

(Luk 24:27) And he began at Moses, and at all the Prophets, and interpreted vnto them in all the Scriptures the things which were written of him.

(Luk 24:28) And they drew neere vnto ye towne, which they went to, but he made as though hee would haue gone further.

(Luk 24:29) But they constrained him, saying, Abide with vs: for it is towards night, and the day is farre spent. So he went in to tarie with them.

(Luk 24:30) And it came to passe, as hee sate at table with them, he tooke the bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gaue it to them.

(Luk 24:31) Then their eyes were opened, and they knewe him: and he was no more seene of them.

(Notes Reference) And their eyes were opened, and they knew him; and he (e) vanished out of their sight.

(e) Suddenly taken away, and we may not therefore imagine that he was there in an invisible body, but indeed believe that he suddenly changed the place where he was.

(Luk 24:32) And they saide betweene themselues, Did not our heartes burne within vs, while he talked with vs by the way, and when he opened to vs the Scriptures?

(Luk 24:33) And they rose vp the same houre, and returned to Hierusalem, and found the Eleuen gathered together, and them that were with them,

(Luk 24:34) Which said, The Lord is risen in deede, and hath appeared to Simon.

(Luk 24:35) Then they tolde what things were done in the way, and howe he was knowen of them in breaking of bread.

(Notes Reference) And they told what things [were done] in the way, and how he was known of them in (f) breaking of bread.

(f) When he broke bread, which that people used to do, and as the Jews still do today at the beginning of their meals and say a prayer.

(Luk 24:36) And as they spake these things, Iesus himselfe stoode in the middes of them, and saide vnto them, Peace be to you.

(Notes Reference) (6) And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you.

(6) The Lord himself shows by certain and necessary signs that he was risen again, and risen in the same body which he had taken upon himself.

(Luk 24:37) But they were abashed and afraide, supposing that they had seene a spirit.

(Luk 24:38) Then he saide vnto them, Why are ye troubled? and wherefore doe doutes arise in your hearts?

(Notes Reference) And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do (g) thoughts arise in your hearts?

(g) Various and doubtful thoughts which fall often into men's heads, when any strange thing occurs, thoughts of which there is no great likelihood.

(Luk 24:39) Beholde mine handes and my feete: for it is I my selfe: handle me, and see: for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me haue.

(Luk 24:40) And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and feete.

(Luk 24:41) And while they yet beleeued not for ioy, and wondred, he saide vnto them, Haue ye here any meate?

(Luk 24:42) And they gaue him a piece of a broyled fish, and of an honie combe,

(Luk 24:43) And hee tooke it, and did eate before them.

(Luk 24:44) And he saide vnto them, These are the wordes, which I spake vnto you while I was yet with you, that all must be fulfilled which are written of me in the Lawe of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalmes.

(Notes Reference) (7) 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.

(7) The preaching of the gospel, which was promised to the prophets, and performed in his time, is committed unto the apostles, the sum of which is repentance and remission of sins.

(Luk 24:45) Then opened he their vnderstanding, that they might vnderstand the Scriptures,

(Luk 24:46) And said vnto them, Thus is it written, and thus it behoued Christ to suffer, and to rise againe from the dead the third day,

(Luk 24:47) And that repentance, and remission of sinnes should be preached in his Name among all nations, beginning at Hierusalem.

(Notes Reference) And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, (h) beginning at Jerusalem.

(Luk 24:48) Nowe ye are witnesses of these things.

(Luk 24:49) And beholde, I doe sende the promise of my Father vpon you: but tary ye in the citie of Hierusalem, vntill ye be endued with power from an hie.

(Notes Reference) And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, (i) until ye be endued with power from on high.

(i) Until the Holy Spirit comes down from heaven upon you.

(Luk 24:50) Afterward he lead them out into Bethania, and lift vp his hands, and blessed them.

(Notes Reference) (8) And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

(8) Christ ascends into heaven, and departing bodily from his disciples, fills their hearts with the Holy Spirit.

(Luk 24:51) And it came to passe, that as he blessed them, he departed from them, and was caried vp into heauen.

(Luk 24:52) And they worshipped him, and returned to Hierusalem with great ioy,

(Luk 24:53) And were continually in the Temple, praysing, and lauding God, Amen.
