45 Alors il leur ouvrit l'esprit, afin qu'ils comprissent les Ecritures.

Luc 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.

Luc 24:45 In-Context

43 Il en prit, et il mangea devant eux.

44 Puis il leur dit: C'est là ce que je vous disais lorsque j'étais encore avec vous, qu'il fallait que s'accomplît tout ce qui est écrit de moi dans la loi de Moïse, dans les prophètes, et dans les psaumes.

45 Alors il leur ouvrit l'esprit, afin qu'ils comprissent les Ecritures.

46 Et il leur dit: Ainsi il est écrit que le Christ souffrirait, et qu'il ressusciterait des morts le troisième jour,

47 et que la repentance et le pardon des péchés seraient prêchés en son nom à toutes les nations, à commencer par Jérusalem.
