This passage ‘R Us. It’s all about what happened on the road or, on the way if you prefer (verse 35), the place where many of us spend a lot of time literally and figuratively.  It’s about us in other ways too.  We’ll consider three aspects of this text and then weave them together.  The … Continue reading “Luke 24:13-35 Commentary by Sarah Henrich”

This is an odd scene. Only Luke reports it, and only Luke needs it: Luke’s whole story is built around going to Jerusalem and coming back home (“every year … as usual” Luke 2:41f). This time people try to leave the Holy City, the center of the Jewish universe, only to be pulled back in. … Continue reading “Luke 24:13-35 Commentary by Richard Swanson”

One could say that there are no surprises in Luke. From the beginning of this gospel, the narrator prepares the readers and listeners for what follows. There are clues along the way, reminding the audience of what they have heard and foreshadowing what will happen. Readers who practice the art of reading “forward and backward” … Continue reading “Luke 24:1-16 Commentary by Marilyn Salmon”

El capítulo anterior de Lucas había terminado en oscuridad. [¿Buscas un comentario sobre Juan 20:1-18? Fíjate en el comentario para el Domingo de la Resurrección de Nuestro Señor de Dana K. Nelson.] Una oscuridad había cubierto la escena de la crucifixión y el Señor había sido enterrado al cerrar del día. El evangelista nos recuerda … Continue reading “San Lucas 24:1-12 Comentario por Joel Morales Cruz”

Preaching at Easter has its unique challenges and opportunities. A typical Easter worship service is often a bit chaotic. Family members who have been away may be home for the holiday. People who rarely worship may come to church for the sake of tradition. The Easter story itself may seem all too familiar, yet those … Continue reading “Luke 24:1-12 Commentary by Craig R. Koester”

Each of the four Resurrection narratives goes its own way in details, but there are three elements that they all have in common: (1) the discovery of the empty tomb takes place on a Sunday morning; (2) Mary Magdalene is present at the tomb; and (3) the tomb is found to be empty. Beyond that … Continue reading “Luke 24:1-12 Commentary by Arland J. Hultgren”

What we seem to have here is a discounting of eye witness testimony. [Looking for commentary on John 20:1-18? See this Easter Sunday commentary by Barbara Lundblad.] We have an untold number of women — three who are named — experiencing an event beyond normal human comprehension and their testimony being dismissed by men, who … Continue reading “Luke 24:1-12 Commentary by Michael Joseph Brown”

El domingo de “Cristo Rey” concluye el año de Lucas con un último testimonio luminoso de cómo Jesús es la manera en que Dios gobierna en este mundo y en el mundo que viene. Los títulos bíblicos de Jesús Hijo de Dios, Mesías y Rey han sido tan bien absorbidos como palabras para la iglesia … Continue reading “San Lucas 23:33-43 Comentario por David Tiede”

Este domingo marcamos el fin de una época y el comienzo de otra. Termina la época de las parábolas sobre el reino y de los caminos del Espíritu que llevaron a Jesús por los caminos de Dios (Pentecostés), y se abre la época donde nos preparamos para recibir a Cristo en nuestras vidas (Adviento). Los … Continue reading “San Lucas 23:33-43 Comentario por Guillermo Hansen”
