Luca 24:34

34 I quali dicevano: Il Signore è veramente risuscitato, ed è apparito a Simone.

Luca 24:34 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:34

Saying
The following words; and which are not the words of the two disciples, but of the apostles, whom they found gathered together; and who, just as these two entered the room, said to one another, or rather to these two disciples, to whom at once, and as soon as ever they saw them, not being able to hold it in, they communicated the good news they had just heard, and which; perhaps, Peter had been just telling them: the Lord is risen indeed;
it is certainly matter of fact: for though the women were not credited, but their accounts were as idle tales, and, at most, only occasioned some thoughts and reflections, which they could not settle; yet now they were satisfied of the reality of his resurrection, and speak of it with the greatest assurance and joy: and hath appeared unto Simon;
he appeared to him first, before he did to any of the rest, though he had denied him in so shameful a manner: which is an instance of great grace and goodness: and he appeared to him, on purpose, no doubt, to comfort him under his distress; as well as being the oldest, disciple, and a man of figure and credit among them, his report would be believed. None of the writers of the New Testament take notice of this appearance besides, only the Apostle Paul, ( 1 Corinthians 15:5 ) . It is certain that it was the same day Christ rose from the dead; and was after the women had seen him, and after Peter had, been at the sepulchre; and before the return of the two disciples from Emmaus, and before he showed himself to the rest of the apostles.

Luca 24:34 In-Context

32 Ed essi dissero l’uno all’altro: Non ardeva il cuor nostro in noi, mentre egli ci parlava per la via, e ci apriva le scritture?

33 E in quella stessa ora si levarono, e ritornarono in Gerusalemme, e trovarono raunati gli undici, e quelli ch’erano con loro.

34 I quali dicevano: Il Signore è veramente risuscitato, ed è apparito a Simone.

35 Ed essi ancora raccontarono le cose avvenute loro per la via, e come egli era stato riconosciuto da loro nel rompere il pane.

36 ORA, mentre essi ragionavano queste cose, Gesù stesso comparve nel mezzo di loro, e disse loro: Pace a voi.
