Luke 24:27
"And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself."
Luke 24:27 - Commentary & Verse Meaning - Bible
“Moses … all the prophets”: Verse 44 gives the 3-fold division, this expression is merely a shortened way to say the same thing.
“In all the scriptures”: In the inscrutable wisdom of divine providence, the substance of Christ’s exposition of the Old Testament messianic prophecies was not recorded. But the gist of what He expounded would have undoubtedly included an explanation of the Old Testament sacrificial system, which was full of types and symbols that spoke of His sufferings and death.
He also would have pointed them to the major prophetic passages which spoke of the crucifixion, such as (Psalms 16:9-11; 22; 69; Isa. 52:14 - 53:12; Zech. 12:10; 13:7).
And He would have pointed out the true meaning of passages like (Gen. 3:15; Num. 21:6-9; Psalm 16:10; Jer. 23:5-6; Dan. 9:26), and a host of other key messianic prophecies, particularly those that spoke of His death and resurrection.
He gives them a Bible lesson in the Old Testament of all of the prophecies written about Him. They must have been like some ministering today, who are not very familiar with His Word.
Luke 24:34 "Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon."
“Appeared to Simon” (1 Cor. 15:5-8). Scripture describes at least 10 distinct appearances of Christ between the resurrection and ascension. He appeared to:
1. Mary Magdalene at the tomb (Mark 16:9; John 20:11-18).
2. To the women on the road (Matt. 28:9-10).
3. To the disciples on the road to Emmaus (verses 13-32).
4. To Peter (verse 34).
5. To 10 of the 11 disciples, Thomas being absent (verses 36-43; Mark 16:14; John 20:19-25).
6. To the 11 disciples (with Thomas present), 8 days later (John 20:26-31).
7. To 7 disciples by the shore of the Sea of Galilee (John 21:1-25).
8. To more than 500 disciples, probably on a mountain in Galilee (1 Cor. 15:6).
9. To James (1 Cor. 15:7).
10. To the apostles when He ascended into heaven (Acts 1:3-11).
After His ascension, He appeared to Paul (1 Cor. 15:8). The next time He appears it will be in glory (Matthew 24:30).
Luke 24:44 "And he said unto them, These [are] the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and [in] the prophets, and [in] the psalms, concerning me."
