Lucas 24:45 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:45

Then opened he their understanding
He not only opened their hearts, to attend to what he said, and the proofs he gave of his resurrection from the dead in a true body; but he removed the veil from the eyes of their minds, and gave them an understanding of the sacred writings, respecting this matter:

that they might understand the Scriptures;
concerning his sufferings, death, and resurrection, which they were very ignorant of before, and which were as a sealed book unto them, ( John 20:9 ) though they had been from their infancy brought up to the reading of the Scriptures, and had had the advantage of Christ's ministry for some years; which shows the necessity of the special illumination of the Spirit, and the influence of his grace to remove the darkness of the mind, and give the true sense of the sacred writings.

Lucas 24:45 In-Context

43 o qual ele tomou e comeu diante deles.

44 Depois lhe disse: São estas as palavras que vos falei, estando ainda convosco, que importava que se cumprisse tudo o que de mim estava escrito na Lei de Moisés, nos Profetas e nos Salmos.

45 Então lhes abriu o entendimento para compreenderem as Escrituras;

46 e disse-lhes: Assim está escrito que o Cristo padecesse, e ao terceiro dia ressurgisse dentre os mortos;

47 e que em seu nome se pregasse o arrependimento para remissão dos pecados, a todas as nações, começando por Jerusalém.
