Matthew Poole and continuators on Luke 24:53

53 And were continually in the temple, praising and blessing God. Amen.

We never before read of any Act of Adoration, which the Disciples performed to Christ. Their Faith was now come to the highest pitch. They did no longer look upon him only as one sent of God, a great Prophet, nor only as the Son of David, the promised Messias. In the mean time not rightly taking the notion of the Messiah, but looking upon him as one who should be a Temporal Saviour, and deliverer of his People, they now believe him to be the Eternal Son of God, being so manifested by his Resurrection from the Dead, and Ascension into Heaven before their Eyes. According to his Commandment they return to Ierusalem, full of Joy. And were continually in the Temple praising and blessing God, Amen, Acts 1.12, 13. it is said, that they being returned, they went into an upper Room, and continued in Prayer and Supplication. Some think that this upper Room, was appendant to the Temple. But continually here may reasonably be interpreted often, or ordinarily, or at Temple Hours of prayer as the Morning, and Evening Sacrifice, are called the Continual Burnt-Offering, Exod. 29.42. Num. 28.3. Their work was to praise and Bless God. It is not said for what, but easily understood: as for other mercies, so more especially for his sending the Messiah for our Redemption, and the Confirmation, and perfecting their Faith in him.
