Context of Luke 24:28

26Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things and enter into his glory?" 27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, he interpreted to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning himself. So they drew near to the village to which they were going. He acted as if he were going farther, 29but they urged him strongly, saying, "Stay with us, for it is toward evening and the day is now far spent." So he went in to stay with them. 30When he was at table with them, he took the bread and blessed and broke it and 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.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 28He made as though he would have gone further - He did not “say” he would go farther, but he kept on as if it was not his intention to stop, and doubtless he “would” have gone on if they had not constrained him to tarry.Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 28-35Verses 28-35 If we would have Christ dwell with us, we must be earnest with him.

See how Christ by his Spirit and grace makes…Read the comment
