Commentary for Luke 24:27

Luke 24:27 is part of the resurrection narrative in the Gospel of Luke, occurring after Jesus has risen from the dead and appeared to his disciples. In this verse, Jesus is walking with two of his followers on the road to Emmaus, but they do not immediately recognize him. The historical context is set in the days following Jesus' crucifixion, a tumultuous time for his disciples who were grappling with his death and the reports of his empty tomb.

In this verse, Jesus takes the opportunity to teach these disciples, beginning with the Torah (Moses) and continuing through the writings of the prophets. He explains how the entire Hebrew Bible, which Christians refer to as the Old Testament, points to him and his mission. This demonstrates a key theme in Christian theology: the idea that the Old Testament contains prophecies and foreshadowings of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus, which are fulfilled in the New Testament.

The verse highlights Jesus as the fulfillment of Scripture, emphasizing the unity and continuity between the Old and New Testaments. It also reflects the early Christian practice of interpreting the Hebrew Bible christologically, finding references to Christ throughout the older texts. By expounding "the things concerning himself" in the scriptures, Jesus is affirming his identity as the Messiah and reassuring his followers of the divine plan, even in the midst of their uncertainty and fear. This teaching moment is a powerful example of Christ's role as the ultimate interpreter of the law and the prophets, and it serves to strengthen the disciples' understanding and faith in the wake of the resurrection.
