Luke 24:31  "...their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight" Not sure if their eyes had been purposely blinded to Him or if His difference in appearance combined with their total lack of expectation caused them to not recognize Him.  Either way, at this point they realized it was …

Luke 24:1  "...they, and certain other women with them..." The women who had seen Him die and watched where He was laid.  They prepared their spices and ointments then rested on the Sabbath. 3  "...they went in..." The women went into the tomb when they discovered the stone rolled away. 4  "...two men stood by …

Luke 23:44  "...the sixth hour...darkness over all the earth until the ninth hour" Sixth hour of daylight approximately, starting at 6:00 am.  So this would be 12:00 noon until 3:00 pm.  Other gospel accounts tell us He was crucified at the third hour or 9:00 am.  Was on the cross for six hours total.  Some …

Interesting that Luke is the only …

Luke 23:2  "...perverting the nation, and forbidding to pay taxes to Caesar, saying that He Himself is Christ, a King" Two lies and the truth.  And they had to add something to the truth.  To say that Jesus was the Christ would not have meant anything to Pilate, just a religious figure.  So they had …

Luke 22:54  "...the high priest’s house..." Not where He should have gone.  Shows it was nothing more than a political sham.  From Luke's account, not sure which high priest he's referring to.  We know from others that He was taken first to Annas then to Caiaphas.  Annas had been high priest and was the father-in-law …

Luke 22:39  "...as He was accustomed..." The garden area of the Mount of Olives was a common place for Jesus.  Probably the reason Judas knew He would be there. 41  "...about a stone’s throw..." Someone had to be awake long enough to know this and pass it on.  Only someone there would know. 42  "...if …
