Commentary for Luke 24:7
Luke 24:7 is part of the resurrection narrative in the Gospel of Luke, which is one of the four canonical Gospels in the New Testament of the Bible. This verse is spoken by angels to the women who came to Jesus' tomb early on the first day of the week (Sunday) to anoint his body with spices, only to find the stone rolled away and the tomb empty. The angels remind the women of Jesus' own predictions about his fate, encapsulating the core elements of Christian belief: the suffering, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The historical context of this verse is set in the first century within the Roman province of Judea, where Jesus, known as the Son of Man, was a Jewish rabbi who gained followers through his teachings and miracles. His claim to messiahship and his challenge to the established religious and political authorities led to his crucifixion by the Roman government at the behest of the Jewish leaders, an event that Christians commemorate on Good Friday. The phrase "delivered into the hands of sinful men" reflects the theological interpretation that Jesus' death was part of God's plan, foretold in the Scriptures, and that it was brought about by human agency, though not as a defeat but as a victory over sin and death.
The themes present in Luke 24:7 include the fulfillment of prophecy, the redemptive nature of suffering, and the vindication of Jesus through his resurrection. The verse underscores the Christian belief in Jesus' divine authority and his role as the Messiah who sacrifices himself for the sins of humanity. The resurrection is seen as the ultimate sign of Jesus' identity as the Son of God and the confirmation of his teachings, which promised eternal life to those who believe in him. This event is central to Christian hope and the promise of new life, both spiritually and physically after death, as signified by Jesus rising on the third day.
