Jesus' resurrection is declared by two angels to the women who come to the tomb.9. They report it to others. 13. Jesus himself appears to the two disciples that went to Emmaus; 36. afterwards he appears to the apostles, and reproves their unbelief; 47. gives them a charge; 49. promises the Holy Spirit; 50. and so ascends into heaven. Why are you troubled, In this phrase, Jesus addresses the emotional state of His disciples. The context is post-resurrection, where the disciples are grappling with the reality of Jesus' resurrection. The term "troubled" reflects a deep emotional disturbance, which is understandable given the recent traumatic events of Jesus' crucifixion. This question echoes Jesus' earlier teachings about peace and trust in God (John 14:1), reminding the disciples of His promises and the fulfillment of prophecy. Jesus asked, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? Persons / Places / Events 1. Jesus ChristThe central figure in this passage, Jesus has just risen from the dead and is appearing to His disciples. His question addresses their emotional and spiritual state. 2. The Disciples The immediate audience of Jesus' question. They are experiencing fear and doubt after witnessing Jesus' crucifixion and hearing reports of His resurrection. 3. Jerusalem The city where these events take place. It is significant as the location of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. 4. The Resurrection The pivotal event that has just occurred, leading to Jesus' appearance to His disciples and their subsequent doubts and fears. 5. The Upper Room The likely setting for this encounter, where the disciples had gathered in fear and confusion after Jesus' death. Teaching Points Understanding DoubtDoubt is a natural human response, even among those who walked closely with Jesus. Recognizing this can help us approach our own doubts with grace and seek understanding. Jesus' Compassion Jesus addresses the disciples' doubts with compassion, not condemnation. This teaches us about His character and how we should approach others' doubts. Faith Over Fear Jesus' question challenges us to choose faith over fear. In moments of doubt, we are called to remember His promises and past faithfulness. The Role of Community The disciples were together when Jesus appeared to them. This emphasizes the importance of community in overcoming doubt and fear. Seeking Peace Jesus' presence brings peace. In times of trouble, seeking His presence through prayer and scripture can calm our hearts.(38) Why are ye troubled?--The question has a singular interest as witnessing to the identity of character, if one may so speak, of the risen Lord with all that had belonged to His humanity in the days of His ministry. He, too, had known what it was to be "troubled in spirit" (John 11:33; John 12:27; John 13:21), and out of that experience had grown the tender sympathy which showed itself in the words addressed to the disciples, "Let not your heart be troubled" (John 14:1). Now they had a trouble of a different kind, and still, as before with the two who were on their way to Emmaus, He seeks to calm and sustain them. He knows even the unuttered thoughts and questionings that are rising in their hearts.Verse 38. - And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled t and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? He had just given them. his peace. He proceeds further to allay their fears. Before showing them his pierced hands and feet and side, before eating in their presence, he addresses these comforting words to them: "See," he seems to say, "I give you my peace: why are ye troubled? why do you allow perplexing, harassing thoughts to arise in your hearts? The past is forgiven and forgotten." "I come not," as Stier beautifully sugests, "as a wrathful Judge to reckon with you for your unbelief and unfaithfulness. I bring to you (and all the world) from my sepulchre something very different from up-braidings." Parallel Commentaries ...
