LUKE 24:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“And, behold, two of them went that same day to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs.”
Now that same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem — Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem: the geographic precision of the Emmaus road narrative. Two of them: two disciples (not apostles) making the return journey from Jerusalem after the crucifixion and the empty-tomb reports.
Church Fathers on Luke 24:13
After the manifestation of Christ’s resurrection made by the Angels to the women, the same resurrection is further manifested by an appearance of Christ Himself to His disciples; as it is said, And behold two of them.
Some say that Luke was one of these two, and for this reason concealed his name.
Or to two of the disciples by themselves our Lord showed Himself in the evening, namely, Ammaon and Cleophas.
