Contextual Overview

13 And behold two of them were going on that day to a village called Emmaus, about six miles from Jerusalem. 14 They were talking with each other concerning all these things that had happened. 15 And while they were speaking and asking each other, Jesus came and overtook them, and walked with them. 16 But the sight of their eyes was holden, so that they could not recognize him. 17 And he said to them, What are these words that you are discussing with each other, as you walk, and are sad? 18 One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to him, Are you a stranger alone from Jerusalem, that you do not know what has happened in it in these days? 19 He said to them, What things? They said to him, About Jesus of Nazareth, a man who was a prophet, mighty in word and deed before God and before all the people. 20 And the high priests and the elders delivered him up to the judgment of death, and they crucified him. 21 But we were hoping that he was the one to save Israel; and behold, it is three days since all these things happened. 22 And some of our women also amazed us, for they went early to the tomb;

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And it came to pass, that while they communed together,.... 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.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Communed together - Talked together.

And reasoned - They reasoned, doubtless, about the probability or improbability that Jesus was the Messiah; about the evidence of his resurrection; about what was to be done in the present state of things.

Jesus himself drew near ... - The disciples were properly employed. Their minds were anxious about the state of things, and they endeavored to arrive at the truth. In this state of things Jesus came to solve their doubts, and to establish them in the belief that he was the Christ; and we may learn from this that Christ will guide those who are sincerely endeavoring to know the truth. They who candidly and seriously endeavor to ascertain what is true and right he will direct; and often in an unexpected manner he will appear, to dissipate their doubts and to scatter all their perplexities. “Our” duty is sincerely to strive to ascertain the truth, and to do his will; and if his people do this, he will not leave them to perplexity and wandering.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Luke 24:15. And reasoned — συζητειν, concerning the probability or improbability of Christ being the Messiah, or of his resurrection from the dead. It was a laudable custom of the Jews, and very common also, to converse about the law in all their journeyings; and now they had especial reason to discourse together, both of the law and the prophets, from the transactions which had recently taken place.
