Luke 24:15 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 24:15

And it came to pass, that while they communed together,
&c.] About the above said things:

and reasoned;
with one another; about the truth and credibility of the late report:

Jesus himself drew near:
the Persic version adds, "suddenly"; he came up at once to them, as if he had been a traveller on the road, and overtook them:

and went with them;
joined himself in company to them, and travelled with them.

Luke 24:15 In-Context

13 And behold, on [that] same day, two of them were traveling to a village {named} Emmaus [that was] sixty stadia distant from Jerusalem,

14 and they were conversing with one another about all these [things] that had happened.

15 And it happened that while they were conversing, and discussing, Jesus himself also approached [and] began to go along with them,

16 but their eyes were prevented from recognizing him.

17 And he said to them, "What [are] these matters that you are discussing with one another [as you] are walking along?" And they stood still, looking sad.
