Read Luke 24.13-35. In 23.13-35: The way to Emmaus. The story is a masterpiece. recalling Luke's whole narrative, this story gives the reader insight into events the participants in the drama only later see. In verses 14-16: They discuss all these things that had happened, bit again not even Jesus' disciples on the Journey (9.51-56) can "see" or understand (18.31-34). Their eyes were kept from recognizing him, because God has not yet revealed the risen messiah. In verses 19-20: The disciples' question again prompts a witness to the meaning of what has happened ("What things ... the things about Jesus ..."; see Acts 2.12;4.7). On Jesus as a prophet, see Luke 7.11-17. In verse 21: Their hoe echoes earlier voices in the story (2.22, 38; 23-51). The third day was anticipated in 9.22; 24.7. In verse 23: The vision of angels must refer to the two men in 24.4. In verses 25-27: To be foolish and slow of heart appears to be forgivable ignorance (3.15), compared with hardness of heart (Acts 28.26-28). The truth to be known lies in the interpretation of all the scriptures as attesting the necessity of the suffering of the Messiah (see 24.32, 44; Acts 2.23-32; 4.23-31). In verse 30: The phrasing (he took bread, blessed, and broke it, and gave it) recalls the last supper (22.19). Inverse 31: This "remembrance" is a revelation of Jesus' presence(22.19;24.35). In verses 33-34: The eleven remaining apostles 9Acts 1.12-16) have not received Jesus' instruction. Comments or Questions..
