Albert Barnes Commentary Luke 24:29

"And they constrained him, saying, Abide with us; for it is toward evening, and the day is now far spent. And he went in to abide with them." — Luke 24:29 (ASV)

Constrained him. They urged him, or pressingly invited him.

They did not yet perceive that it was Jesus, but they had been charmed and delighted with his discourse, and they wished to hear him further.

Christians are delighted with communion with the Savior. They seek it as the chief object of their desire and find their chief pleasure in fellowship with him.

The two disciples felt it a privilege to entertain the stranger, as they supposed, who had so charmed them with his discourse. Similarly, those to whom the gospel is preached, and who love it, feel it a privilege, and not a burden, to show kindness to those who bring them the message of salvation.

Abide with us. Remain with us, or pass the night in our house.
