Contextual Overview

13 And behold two of them were going the same day to a village called Emmaus, which was sixty furlongs from Jerusalem. 14 And they talked together of all these things which had happened. 15 And as they talked and argued together, Jesus himself drew near and went with them. 16 But their eyes were holden, so that they did not know him. 17 And he said to them, What discourses are these that ye have one with another, and are sad? 18 And one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said to him, Dost thou alone even sojourn at Jerusalem, and hast not known the things, which are come to pass there in these days? 19 And he said to them, What things? And they said to him, Those concerning Jesus of Nazareth (who was a prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people, 20 ) How our chief priests and rulers delivered him to be condemned to death, 21 and have crucified him, But we trusted that it had been he who should have redeemed Israel. And beside all this, to-day is the third day since these things were done. 22 Yea, and certain women of our company astonished us, who were early at the sepulchre,

Bible Verse Review
  from Treasury of Scripure Knowledge

Jesus: Luke 24:36, Matthew 18:20, John 14:18, John 14:19

Reciprocal: 1 Kings 10:2 - communed John 21:4 - but

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.
