Charles Ellicott Commentary Luke 24:34

"saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon." — Luke 24:34 (ASV)

The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon (Luke 24:34).—Of the manifestation thus referred to, we have no other record in the Gospels. It occupies, however, a prominent place in those which St. Paul enumerates (1 Corinthians 15:5), and takes its place among the phenomena that indicate St. Paul’s acquaintance with the substance of St. Luke’s Gospel. We can only reverently imagine what happened at the meeting. Before the Passion, the Lord had turned and looked on Peter with a glance of tender and sorrowful reproof (Luke 22:61). Now, we may believe, He met the repentant, eager disciple with the full assurance of pardon.
