Context of Luke 24:28

26Ought not the Christ to have suffered these things and to enter into his glory? 27And having begun from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself. And they drew near to the village where they were going, and he made as though he would go farther. 29And they constrained him, saying, Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is declining. And he entered in to stay with them. 30And it came to pass as he was at table with them, having taken the bread, he blessed, and having broken it, gave it to them.

Commentaries on Luke 24:28

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 28He made as though he would have gone farther - That is, he was going on, as though he intended to go farther; and so he doubtless would had they not earnestly pressed him to lodge with them. His preaching had made a deep impression upon their hearts, Luke 24:32, and now they feel it their greatest privilege to entertain the preacher.

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 28-35Verses 28-35 If we would have Christ dwell with us, we must be earnest with him.
