This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
The appearance to the Emmaus disciples:
v. 12. After that He appeared in another form unto two of them as they walked and went into the country.
v. 13. And they went and told it unto the residue; neither believed they them.
This is undoubtedly a summary of the afternoon's events, as related by Luk_24:13-35. In a different form He came to them on the way, as these two were on their way to Emmaus, in an usual dress or bearing, as is evident from Luke's remark that their eyes were holden. This second appearance should have convinced all of the disciples, not merely the apostles, though, for that matter, there were some that doubted even among them. But even now most of the rest, of the disciples at large, believed them not. That was the situation on the evening of Easter Day, in spite of an appearance to Peter that took place sometime in the course of the day, and in spite of the joyful call of those that had gained the conviction of His having risen.
