Luke 24:13–16
Two travelers to Emmaus talk with Jesus without recognizing him
Study it word by word13And look, two of them on that very day were going to a village sixty stadia away from Jerusalem, whose name was Emmaus;
14and they were talking with each other about all these things that had happened.
15And it happened, while they were talking and discussing, that Jesus himself drew near and was walking with them;
16but their eyes were held so as not to recognize him.
In its context
11And these words seemed to them like nonsense, and they would not believe them.
12But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; and stooping to look in, he sees the linen cloths alone; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.
…
17And he said to them, “What are these words that you are exchanging with one another as you walk?” And they stood still, looking sad.
18And one of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to him, “Are you the only one staying as a visitor in Jerusalem and you do not know the things that have happened in it in these days?”
