Texts -- Luke 24:1-11 (NET)

Context
The Resurrection
24:1 Now on the first day of the week , at early dawn , the women went to the tomb , taking the aromatic spices they had prepared . 24:2 They found that the stone had been rolled away from the tomb , 24:3 but when they went in, they did not find the body of the Lord Jesus . 24:4 While they were perplexed about this , suddenly two men stood beside them in dazzling attire . 24:5 The women were terribly frightened and bowed their faces to the ground , but the men said to them , “Why do you look for the living among the dead ? 24:6 He is not here , but has been raised ! Remember how he told you , while he was still in Galilee , 24:7 that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men , and be crucified , and on the third day rise again.” 24:8 Then the women remembered his words , 24:9 and when they returned from the tomb they told all these things to the eleven and to all the rest . 24:10 Now it was Mary Magdalene , Joanna , Mary the mother of James , and the other women with them who told these things to the apostles . 24:11 But these words seemed like pure nonsense to them , and they did not believe them .

  • "2:1-3 echoes 1:1 by introducing the same phrases but in reverse order: he created,' God,' heavens and earth' reappear as heavens and earth' (2:1) God' (2:2), created' (2:3). This chiastic pattern brings the section to a neat...
  • God began responding to Daniel's prayer as soon as he began praying (cf. v. 19; Luke 11:10-13). Clearly the prayer recorded in the preceding verses was only a summary of what the prophet prayed since he prayed long and hard (...
  • 8:18-19 Verse 18 gives the occasion for the scribe's statement in verse 19 (cf. Mark 4:35). There was only so much room in the boat, and the scribe wanted to get in with other disciples. At this time in Jesus' ministry there ...
  • 28:1 The NASB translation of the Greek preposition opseas "late"is misleading. The word can also mean "after,"and it makes better sense if translated as such here.1082The women waited until after the Sabbath to go to Jesus' t...
  • 16:1 The Sabbath ended with sundown Saturday evening. The women did not come to the tomb until Sunday morning (v. 2, cf. Matt. 28:1). Why did Mark refer to the Sabbath at all? Probably he did so to clarify that Jesus had been...

  • This miracle raised the popular appreciation of Jesus' authority to new heights. Luke also continued to stress Jesus' compassion for people, in this case a widow whose son had died, by including this incident in his Gospel. T...
  • Luke's account stresses that concern for the multitudes motivated Jesus' mission. Mark, on the other hand, presented opposition from the Jewish religious leaders as a reason for His activities. Matthew stressed Jesus' desire ...
  • This pericope is primarily transitional bridging the stories of Jesus' death and resurrection. It confirms the reality of Jesus' death. However, Luke included more information about Joseph of Arimathea (location unknown) than...
  • Luke's account of the events following Jesus' resurrection stresses the reality of that event and the reactions of the witnesses to it. All these people felt depressed because of Jesus' death, but when they learned of His res...
  • This is another of Luke's exquisite and unique stories. Various students of it have noted its similarity to the stories of the feeding of the 5,000 (9:10-17), the appearance in Jerusalem (vv. 36-49), and the Ethiopian eunuch ...
  • Luke arranged his accounts of Jesus' post-resurrection appearances to give the impression that an ever increasing audience learned of this great event. First, he recorded an announcement of it with no witnesses (vv. 1-12). Th...
