LUKE 24:16 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.”
But they were kept from recognizing him — they were kept from recognizing him (ekratounto tou mē epignonai auton, they were held so that they could not recognize him): the divine action preventing recognition. The prevented recognition is not a failure of their perception but a divine withholding that serves the narrative purpose.
