worshipped him--certainly in the strictest sense of adoration.
returned to Jerusalem--as instructed to do: but not till after gazing, as if entranced, up into the blue vault in which He had disappeared, they were gently checked by two shining ones, who assured them He would come again to them in the like manner as He had gone into heaven. (See on Act 1:10-11). This made them return, not with disappointment at His removal, but "with great joy." |
| Notes on the Bible, by Albert Barnes, [1834] |
They worshipped him - The word "worship" does not "always" denote religious homage. See the notes at Mat 2:11. Compare Luk 14:10. But here it is to be remarked,
1. That they offered this worship to an "absent" Saviour. It was "after" he left them and had vanished out of their sight. It was, therefore, an act of religion, and was the "first" religious homage that was paid to Jesus after he had left the world.
2. If "they" worshipped an absent Saviour - a Saviour unseen by the bodily eye, it is right for "us" to do it. It was an example which we "may and should" follow.
3. If worship may be rendered to Jesus, he is divine. See Exo 20:4-5. |
| Adam Clarke Commentary on the Whole Bible - Published 1810-1826 |
They worshipped him - Let it be observed that this worship was not given by way of civil respect, for it was after he was parted from them, and carried back into heaven, that they offered it to him; but acts of civil respect are always performed in the presence of the person. They adored him as their God, and were certainly too much enlightened to be capable of any species of idolatry.
Returned to Jerusalem with great joy - Having the fullest proof that Jesus was the promised Messiah; and that they had a full commission to preach repentance and remission of sin to mankind, and that they should be Divinely qualified for this great work by receiving the promise of the Father, Luk 24:49. |
10 And [2532] while [5613] they looked stedfastly [2258] [816] toward [1519] heaven [3772] as he [846] went up [4198], [2532] behold [2400], two [1417] men [435] stood by [3936] them [846] in [1722] white [3022] apparel [2066];
11 Which [3739] also [2532] said [2036], Ye men [435] of Galilee [1057], why [5101] stand ye [2476] gazing up [1689] into [1519] heaven [3772]? this same [3778] Jesus [2424], which [3588] is taken up [353] from [575] you [5216] into [1519] heaven [3772], shall [2064] so [3779] come [2064] in like manner as [3739] [5158] ye have seen [2300] him [846] go [4198] into [1519] heaven [3772].
4 Thou shalt not make [06213] unto thee any graven image [06459], or any likeness [08544] of any thing that [0834] is in heaven [08064] above [04605], or that is in the earth [0776] beneath, or that is in the water [04325] under the earth [0776]:
5 Thou shalt not bow down [07812] thyself to them, nor serve [05647] them: for I the LORD [03068] thy God [0430] am a jealous [07067] God [0410], visiting [06485] the iniquity [05771] of the fathers [01] upon the children [01121] unto the third [08029] and fourth [07256] generation of them that hate [08130] me;
10 But [235] when [3752] thou art bidden [2564], go [4198] and sit down [377] in [1519] the lowest [2078] room [5117]; that [2443] when [3752] he that bade [2564] thee [4571] cometh [2064], he may say [2036] unto thee [4671], Friend [5384], go up [4320] higher [511]: then [5119] shalt thou [4671] have [2071] worship [1391] in the presence [1799] of them that sit at meat [4873] with thee [4671].
11 And [2532] when they were come [2064] into [1519] the house [3614], they saw [2147] [1492] the young child [3813] with [3326] Mary [3137] his [846] mother [3384], and [2532] fell down [4098], and worshipped [4352] him [846]: and [2532] when they had opened [455] their [846] treasures [2344], they presented [4374] unto him [846] gifts [1435]; gold [5557], and [2532] frankincense [3030], and [2532] myrrh [4666].
49 And [2532], behold [2400], I [1473] send [649] the promise [1860] of my [3450] Father [3962] upon [1909] you [5209]: but [1161] tarry [2523] ye [5210] in [1722] the city [4172] of Jerusalem [2419], until [2193] ye [3739] be endued [1746] with power [1411] from [1537] on high [5311].
