Luke 24
1. 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.














And when He had said this
This phrase marks a pivotal moment in the narrative, following Jesus' resurrection. The Greek word for "said" is "eipon," which is an aorist active indicative verb, indicating a completed action. This suggests the authority and finality of Jesus' words. In the context of the resurrection, Jesus' words carry the weight of divine truth and fulfillment of prophecy. Historically, this moment is significant as it follows Jesus' appearance to His disciples, who were struggling with doubt and fear. His words are meant to reassure and confirm His identity as the risen Lord.

He showed them
The Greek verb "edeixen" is used here, meaning "to show" or "to make visible." This action is intentional and purposeful, emphasizing Jesus' desire to provide tangible evidence of His resurrection. In a historical context, this act of showing is crucial for the disciples, who needed physical proof to overcome their disbelief. It highlights the importance of faith being grounded in reality, as Jesus provides undeniable evidence of His victory over death.

His hands and feet
The mention of "hands and feet" is significant, as these were the locations of the crucifixion wounds. The Greek words "cheiras" (hands) and "podos" (feet) are used, pointing to the physicality of Jesus' resurrected body. This detail underscores the continuity between the crucified and risen Christ, affirming that the same Jesus who suffered is now glorified. Archaeologically, crucifixion was a common Roman execution method, and the marks on Jesus' body serve as a testament to His sacrifice. Scripturally, this act fulfills prophecies such as Psalm 22:16, which speaks of the Messiah's pierced hands and feet. This revelation is meant to inspire faith and hope, as it confirms the reality of the resurrection and the promise of eternal life for believers.

Verse 40. - Some (but not the majority) of the older authorities omit this verse. And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet. It has been suggested that the Risen simply pointed to those parts of his body which were not covered with clothing, and invited the disciples to touch these, and so to assure themselves that he had actually flesh and bone. Von Gerlach has an interesting suggestion that the feet were especially referred to "because there was in the feet something more convincing and touching than even in the hands, on account of the wonder that One who had been so grievously wounded could move." The real reason, however, of the Lord calling attention to the hands and feet comes out from St. John's account of this appearance of the Risen, for he adds that Jesus also showed them his side. Thus he pointed to the wounded members of his blessed body to show that in the resurrection-body he retained these marks of his wounds. That he retained them now and for ever we ]mow from the glorious vision of the Revelation, where the wounded humanity of the Lord appears throned and adored in the highest heaven: "Lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts [living creatures], and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain" (Revelation 5:6). Our Master and God retains these as the glorious tokens of his victory and atonement. Augustine very strikingly deduces from this that perhaps we shall see the same with respect to the wounds of the martyrs ('De Civ. Dei,' lib. 22. cap. 19).
