Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 24:27

"And beginning from Moses and from all the prophets, he interpreted to them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself." — Luke 24:27 (ASV)

Beginning at Moses and all the prophets.—Better, from Moses. Here, then, if not before, there was a full “opening of the Scriptures” on all that pertained to the work and office of the Christ. It is, at least, a legitimate inference to believe that we find the echoes of the great lesson so given in all, or most, of the interpretations of Messianic prophecies in the written or spoken teaching of the Apostles.

From the great first gospel of Genesis 3:15, to the last utterance of the last of the Prophets announcing the coming of Elijah (Malachi 4:5)—with special stress, doubtless, on prophecies such as those of Psalms 16, Psalms 22, and Isaiah 53 that spoke of sufferings and death as belonging to the perfect picture of the Servant of the Lord and the ideal King—the unfolding of the divine purpose was now made clear to those who before had been slow of heart to believe.
