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 they rose up the same hour,.... Though it was now evening, and the day was spent and gone; and notwithstanding what business they might have to do at Emmaus, about which they came, and even might not have made an end of eating, or sufficiently refreshed themselves; and though they had had a walk of sixty furlongs that afternoon, yet being big with this appearance of Christ to them, and in haste to impart the joyful news to their fellow disciples, they immediately rose up from table:

and returned to Jerusalem; the same night, from whence they had come that day:

and found the eleven gathered together; at a certain house known to these two, and who met together in the night season, for the sake of privacy, and for fear of the Jews, and who were now up, though it was late: these are called "eleven", because Judas was now gone from them, and dead; and this being their whole number, it is used, though every one might not be present, as particularly Thomas was not; see John 20:19

and them that were with them; the seventy disciples, and other believers, both men and women; see Acts 1:15.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

The same hour - Though it was late, and they had stopped, as they thought, for the night, yet such was their joy that they hastened to tell it to their companions and friends. This was natural and proper, and it shows how quick and ready they who have found the Saviour are to tell it to others. Compare John 1:41-45. Young converts to Christ “should hasten” to tell their joy, and should not shrink at self-denial to proclaim to others what God hath done for the soul, Psalms 66:16.

“My lips and cheerful heart, prepare.

To make his mercies known:

Come, ye that fear my God, and hear.

The wonders he hath done.

“When on my head huge sorrows fell,

I sought his heavenly aid;

He saved my sinking soul from hell,

And death’s eternal shade.”

The eleven - The eleven apostles. Judas was now dead. This shows that the two that went to Emmaus were not apostles.
