This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Luk_24:46-47. Καὶ οὕτως ἔδει being deleted (see the critical remarks), the passage reads: for thus it is written that the Messiah should suffer and rise again, etc., and that there should be announced, etc. By means of ὅτι Jesus adds the circumstance in the way of motive, on account of which He opened their νοῦς , etc.; οὔτω , however, has its reference in these instructions just given: in the manner, in such a way as I have just introduced you into the understanding of the Scripture. What follows, being conceived under the form of doctrinal positions (“the Messiah suffers,” etc.) as far as the end of Luk_24:47, is then the Messianic summary of Old Testament prophecy.
ἐπὶ τῷ ὀνόμ . αὐτοῦ ] on the foundation of His name—on the confession of this name, to wit, by which the whole evangelic agency is supported—depends the announcement of repentance and forgiveness, as far as concerns their specific purpose and their characteristic nature. Comp. Act_3:16; Act_4:17 f., Act_5:28; Act_5:40.
ἀρξάμενον ] for which Erasmus and Markland conjectured ἀρξαμένων ,[279] is the impersonal accusative neuter: incipiendo (Herodotus, iii. 91, and thereon Schweighäuser), i.e. so that it (the office of the κηρυχθῆναι ) begins, i.e. from Jerusalem (Ast, Lex. Plat. I. p. 288). See Winer, p. 550 [E. T. 779]; Bornemann, Schol. in loc. Comp. Buttmann, Neutest. Gr. p. 321 [E. T. 374 f.].
ἀπὸ Ἱερουσ .] as the metropolis of the whole theocracy. Comp. Isa_2:3; Isa_40:9, and elsewhere; Act_1:8; Rom_15:19.
εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη ] among all nations, Mat_28:19.
[279] As D actually reads. Other attempts at improvement: ἀρξαμένην , ἀρξάμενος . In respect of ἀρξάμενοι , followed by Ewald, see the critical remarks.
