Lucas 24
Vincent on dazzling - Shining (astraptomsais - present participle). Only here and Lk 17:24, Akin to astrape, lightning. See on bright shining, Lk 11:36 and compare Luke 17:24. Luke 24:5 and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead? Wuest And they having become fear-stricken and bowing their faces to the ground, they said to them, Why are you seeking the One who is living among those who are dead? they. Lk 1:12, 13, 29. Da 8:17, 18. 10:7-12, 16-19. Mt 28:3-5. Mk 16:5, 6. Ac 10:3, 4. 24:25. Re 11:13 the living. Jn 6:57. He 7:8. Re 1:17, 18. 2:8. Luke 24:1-12 Empty Tomb with an Angelic Explanation - John MacArthur Luke 24:1-12 Witnessing Women and Doubting Disciples - John MacArthur Luke 24:1-12 The Foundation for Our Faith - Steven Cole Luke 24:5 A Timely Expostulation - C H Spurgeon Luke 24:5,6 “The Lord Is Risen, Indeed” - C H Spurgeon Luke 24 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries ANGELS TESTIFY: JESUS IS ALIVE Mt 28:3-5 - And his (cf Angel in Mt 28:2) appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. Mark 16:5-7+ Entering the tomb, they saw a young man sitting at the right, wearing a white robe; and they were amazed. And he said to them, “Do not be amazed; you are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, Who has been crucified. He has risen; He is not here; behold, here is the place where they laid Him. (THEY HAD A SPECIAL WORD OF ENCOURAGEMENT FOR PETER) 16:7 “But go, tell His disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you to Galilee; there you will see Him, just as He told you.’” (OF COURSE, HE WOULD ACTUALLY SEE THEM THIS VERY EVENING AS THEY WERE HUDDLED TOGETHER BEHIND BOLTED DOORS FOR FEAR OF THE JEWS - Jn 20:19-20ff) The women were (literally became - aorist) terrified and bowed (present tense) their faces to the ground - Their bowing to the ground is a detail given only in Luke's Gospel and reflects a combination of fear and respect. These poor women went from perplexed in Lk 24:4 to terrified in Lk 24:5. Terrified (1719)(see note below on emphobos) literally means in fear and pertains to one being extremely afraid, used only 5x - Lk. 24:5; Lk. 24:37; Acts 10:4; Acts 24:25; Rev. 11:13. Phobos (fear) is the normal response to the supernatural - see Luke 1:13, 30; 2:9, 10; 8:25, 35. Bowed (2827)(klino) means to bend from straight position, whether downwards or horizontally = to incline, recline, decline (Lk 9:12), or bow down (Jn 19:30). Used 6x - Matt. 8:20; Lk. 9:12; Lk. 9:58; Lk. 24:5; Lk. 24:29; Jn. 19:30; Heb. 11:34. Note that at some point independent of this meeting with the women, Jesus met Mary Magdalene outside the tomb (John 20:11-17). To the ground - Either to emphasize the direction of their bowing or more likely the fact that they fell on their faces. They did out of fear and not as an act of worship (proskuneo) as John did to the angel in Revelation 22:8,9+. And thus it is likely for that reason that the angels did not tell them to get up as they did in the Revelation passages. It is not surprising that the appearance of angels often produced fear (Jdg. 13:19, 20+, Da 10:5, 6, 9+). Paul fell to the ground when he saw the heavenly vision of the risen Lord Jesus (Acts 9:4-5+, cf Acts 22:7, 26:17). NET Note feels it was less out of fear but more out of respect. That is possible, but I think they were also afraid. - "Such respect for angels is common: Dan 7:28; 10:9, 15." Why do you seek the living One among the dead? - This is the first declaration in Luke that Jesus is alive. The living One is clear testimony that Jesus is not dead but alive. Read Luke 24:23; Acts 1:3; Acts 3:15; Ro. 14:9. Acts 1:3 To these He also presented Himself alive after His suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing to them over a period of forty days and speaking of the things concerning the kingdom of God. Acts 3:15 but put to death the Prince of life, the one whom God raised from the dead, a fact to which we are witnesses. Romans 14:9 For to this end Christ died and lived again, that He might be Lord both of the dead and of the living. Jesus Himself testifies in Revelation Rev 1:18+ and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Rev 2:8+ And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life, says this: (compare Heb 7:25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them.) POSB - There was a rebuke in the question. They were seeking to honor a dead Savior, a Savior who was as all other men are, frail and powerless to do anything about life and eternity. Their whole being—their thoughts, feelings, and behavior—were focused upon a dead Savior. (Borrow Luke Commentary)
Lucas 24
Vincent on parakupto - The verb is used of one who stoops sideways (para) to look attentively. Parakupto is used 5 times in the NT: (Luke 24:12; John 20:5, 11; Jas 1:25; 1 Pet 1:12) and is translated in the NAS as: look, 1; looks intently, 1; stooped and looked, 1; stooping and looking, 2. James used parakupto to describe the "one who looks intently (contemplative, meditative gazing) at the perfect law, the law of liberty… " (Jas 1:25-note) Comment: So on one hand, the verb literally describes the bodily posture (at the empty tomb) and on the other, is used figuratively of a man "stooping over" the Word of God. Parakupto in some uses meant "to lean over the railing". For example it n the Septuagint in the context of the return of "the ark of the covenant of the Lord… to the city of David" Scripture records that "Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of (parakupto) the window, and saw King David leaping and making merry; and she despised him in her heart." (1Chr 15:29). Parakupto pictures the angels gazing carefully by the side of these great truths of salvation, "stooping" over in order to look, looking even with their heads bowed forward.
Lucas 24
Vincent says that parakupto "Used by Aristophanes to picture the attitude of a bad harp-player. Here it portrays one stooping and stretching the neck to gaze on some wonderful sight." He saw the linen wrappings only - Not disheveled but neatly arranged as described by John giving added support to the fact that Jesus body had risen (and passed through the wrappings as He later passed through closed doors - John 20:19, 20:26). Linen wrappings (3608)(othonion is the diminutive of othone = linen cloth - Acts 10:11+ of Peter's vision of unclean animals) thus describes a smaller linen cloth or even a bandage. Orthonion is used in the NT only of the fine linens used to wrap the body of Jesus and remaining the tomb after His bodily resurrection (Lk. 24:12; Jn. 19:40; Jn. 20:5; Jn. 20:6; Jn. 20:7). Thayer adds that othonion was used in "Greek writings of ships' sails made of linen, bandages for wounds, and other articles." Three uses in the Septuagint - Jdg 14:13, Hos 2:5, 2:9. John 19:40 So they took the body of Jesus and bound it in linen wrappings with the spices, as is the burial custom of the Jews. John 20:5 and stooping and looking in, he (JOHN) saw the linen wrappings lying there; but he did not go in. (20:6) And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there, (20:7) and the face-cloth which had been on His head, not lying with the linen wrappings, but rolled up in a place by itself. Marveling (2296)(thaumazo) Most versions translate it as wondering and the NET Notecomments that "Peter’s wondering was not a lack of faith, but struggling in an attempt to understand what could have happened." ESV Note adds "This (marveling) can be associated with unbelief (Luke 11:38; Acts 13:41) but usually involves a positive response (see Luke 1:21). Cf. Lk 24:34." Spurgeon on Peter marveling - Thus that notable day wore on. Christ had risen, but His people had not risen to full belief in Him; they were still in the grave of distress and doubt, though their Master had left the grave of death! (Exposition) Technical Note - Your translation may have Luke 24:12 in brackets. The NET Note explains "Some Western manuscripts (D it) lack Luke 24:12. The verse has been called a Western non-interpolation, meaning that it reflects a shorter authentic reading in D and other Western witnesses. Many regard all such shorter readings as original (the verse is omitted in the RSV), but the ms evidence for omission is far too slight for the verse to be rejected as secondary. It is included in ?75 and the rest of the ms tradition." Related Resources: What is the importance of the empty tomb? How can I avoid being a doubting Thomas?

Luke 24:13 And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem two. Luke 24:18. Mark 16:12, 13.

Vernon McGee Luke 24 Resources - Multiple Sermons and Commentaries From The Word in Life Study Bible (online) ON THE ROAD TO EMMAUS And behold (idou), two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem - A new pericope is identified by And behold which describes the walk to Emmaus in Luke 24:13-35. They were returning from their time at Jerusalem (Lk 24:33). It was "toward evening" (Lk 24:29) and would have taken about 2 hours as the evening of this great day began to come to a close. This story is only briefly mentioned in one other Gospel... After that, He appeared in a different form to two of them while they were walking along on their way to the country. They went away and reported it to the others, but they did not believe them either. (Mark 16:12, 13+)
Lucas 24
Vincent says paroikeo means "to dwell as a stranger, is used in later Greek of strangers who have no rights of citizenship, and no settled home."
Lucas 24
Vincent - The Authorized Version (KJV), as usual, pays no attention to the graphic imperfects here (speaking, explaining are both in the imperfect tense). They are speaking of something which was in progress: “was not our heart burning (finite verb and participle) while he was speaking, and was opening the scriptures?” Hearts (2588)(kardia) describes the seat of physical, spiritual and mental life, which was common in Classic Greek where the heart was described as "as the source of emotions, including intellect, will, anger, passion, joy, and so on." (Gilbrant) Burning (2545)(kaio) means to light or ignite something (Mt 5:15), to literally burn (Jn 15:6) and is used here figuratively to describe their fervent emotions or strong feelings as Jesus spoke. It is notable that the Septuagint uses kaio in the prophet Jeremiah's description of his reaction to the Word of God... But if I say, “I will not remember Him Or speak anymore in His name,” Then in my heart it (THE WORD OF GOD) becomes like a burning (Lxx = kaio) fire Shut up in my bones; And I am weary of holding it in, And I cannot endure it. (Jer 20:9) Comment - NLT paraphrases it "His word burns in my heart like a fire" (Jer 20:9NLT). Jeremiah was discouraged by rejection of his message and was being tempted to jettison his prophetic call to rebellious Judah, but it was to no avail. As Henry Morris said "The Word of God simply cannot be quenched for one who truly loves God and understands what God's Word has done for him and what it means for the world. Even though man is the object of reproach and derision because of it (Jeremiah 19:8), he must proclaim it to others in whatever way he can." (Defender's Study Bible) Speaking (2980)(laleo) means to make a sound and then to utter words. Kenneth

Vincent on dialogismos - As if he had said, “Why do you reason about a matter which your spiritual perception ought to discern at once.” Heart (2588) (kardia) literally is the main source of physical life (Acts 14:17), but more often used to describe the center and source of the whole inner life (Mt 18:35; Lk 16:15; 2 Cor 5:12; 1 Th 2:4; 1 Pt 1:22; 3:4.). It is like the "control center" of our being (emotions - Jn 16:6, 22, will Acts 11:23).
Lucas 24
Vincent on handle - Compare 1 John 1:1. The word occurs also Acts 17:27; Heb. 12:18. “It never expresses the so handling an object as to exercise a moulding, modifying influence upon it, but at most a feeling of its surface; this, it may be, with the intention of learning its composition (Gen. 27:12, 21, 22); while, not seldom, it signifies no more than a feeling for or after an object, without any actual coming in contact with it at all” (Trench, “Synonyms”). Compare Acts 17:27. Used of groping in the dark, Job 5:14; of the blind, Isa. 59:10; Deut. 28:29; Judges, 16:26. See on Heb. 12:18. For (hoti) is a term of explanation. A spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have - This refutes the false notion that Jesus arose only in spirit. J C
Lucas 24
Vincent adds that theoreo "was more than simple seeing. The verb means looking steadfastly, as one who has an interest in the object, and with a view to search into and understand it: to look inquiringly and intently. (Ed Note: And even with a sense of amazement.) John writes that "when He (Jesus) was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, beholding His signs which He was doing." (John 2:24) Unfortunately Jesus did not "believe" in them, for He knew their motives and that they were enthusiastic concerning His spectacular miracles. Jesus makes it clear that enthusiasm is not necessary associated with genuine faith, faith that results in salvation.
