Emmaus. (For a beautiful paraphrase of this Scripture, see the passage in Cowper's poem 'Conversation,' beginning, "It happened on a solemn eventide." The incident is presented by him as an illustration of converse "such as it behoves man to maintain, and such as God approves." And it is impossible to resist the appropriateness of the lesson which is enforced.) The time of the memorable appearance is the afternoon, probably between four and six; and its prominent persons are two disciples,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:13-35
The risen Christ the best Escort on the pilgrim, age of life. We left Peter in perplexity, but he and John must have returned to the rest of the disciples, and reported the emptiness of the sepulchre, but that they had not seen the Risen One (verse 24). John does not seem to have communicated his own convictions unto the others. Most likely he is turning the matter over in his mind, as contemplative and deep-thinking men will do before giving a public pronouncement. Meanwhile there is a... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:30
And it came to pass, as he sat at meat with them, he took bread, and blessed it, and brake, and gave to them . There was a deep significance in the concluding act of this memorable appearance of the risen Lord. This taking the bread, and blessing it, and breaking it, and then giving it to them, was no ordinary act of courtesy, or welcome, or friendship, which, from a master or teacher might be shown to his disciples. It resembles too closely the great sacramental act in the upper room,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Luke 24:31
He vanished out of their sight. Not here , not now , can we hope to understand the nature of the resurrection-body of the Lord; it is and must remain to us, in our present condition, a mystery. Certain facts have, however, been revealed to us: read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 24:30
Sat at meat - Reclined at the table, or while he was at supper.He took bread and blessed it ... - This was the office of the master of a feast, and perhaps this first attracted particularly their attention. Though he was in “their” house, yet he acted as “master” of the feast, as he used to do with them before his death. Perhaps, also, as he “gave” them the bread, they observed the “prints” in his hands, and they knew that it was Jesus. This was not a “sacramental,” but a common supper; yet our... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Luke 24:31
Their eyes were opened - The obscurity was removed. They saw him to be the Messiah. Their doubts were gone, and they saw clearly that he was risen, and was truly, as they had long hoped, the Saviour of people. It is not meant that they were before “blind,” but that they did not know until then who he was.He vanished out of their sight - He suddenly departed. It does not appear that there was anything miraculous in this, but, during their surprise, he took the opportunity suddenly to withdraw... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 24:28-31
Luke 24:28-31. And they drew near unto the village, &c. His discourse made so deep an impression upon them, and engrossed their attention to such a degree, that they neither thought of the length of the journey, nor considered the countenance of him who spake to them, so that, ere they were aware, they arrived at the village whither they went. And he made as though he would have gone farther When the disciples turned aside from the road to go to their lodging in the village, Jesus... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 24:13-35
162. On the road to Emmaus (Mark 16:12-13; Luke 24:13-35)That afternoon Jesus joined two sorrowful disciples who were walking from Jerusalem to the village of Emmaus, but they did not recognize him (Mark 16:12; Luke 24:13-16). When they started to explain their sadness, they expressed surprise that their unknown companion had not heard about the crucifixion of Jesus. Their understanding of Jesus’ mission was not very clear, for they had hoped he would bring national liberation to Israel; but... read more

Further lessons by the way. Other lessons beside those already gleaned (see preceding homily) await our hand in this instructive story. I. THE THREAD OF TRIAL WHICH RUNS THROUGH THE FABRIC OF OUR LIFE . On one occasion our Lord asked a question of one of his disciples, and of that question it is said, "This he said to prove him" ( John 6:6 ). There were other occasions, e.g. that of the blind beggars by the wayside, and that of the Syro-phoenician woman,... read more
