Jesus appearance to two disciples
on the way to Emmaus occurred on the
same day upon which He rose from the
dead. or the first Easter Sunday. The
two disciples were taking an after
noon walk. These were not two Of the
twelve apostles. One Of them we are
told was Cleopas. the other we know
nothing of but that he had become a
follower of Jesus Christ. Emmaus
was n village, the exact location of
which we do not know. "Threescore
~furlongs" ". 1877 would bring it with
in a radius Of seven or eight miles OF
Jerusalem. Their conversation con-
cerned Jesus. His wonderful life, the
c%rucifixion, burial and reported resur-
rection.
A Stranger Walks with Them.-On
the way Jesus met them and walked
with them. but the disciples knew
Him not. Mark 10: 12 says that "He
appeared in another form" His dress
also probably was slightly different
than He had before been seen in. A
third reason He was not know was
a purposely. changed manner for He
evidently wished to talk with them as
a stranger.
Some Prophecies Explained.-After
Jesus had found out the subject OF
their conversation, He tried to show
them that the events which had lust
taken place were not only the logical
course. but had actually been the sub
ject OF prophecy. They were familiar
with the Messianic prophecies. but
they had never fully realized that the
prophet Jesus could be the same as
the magnificent temporal ruler and
deliverer they had imagined. (See lisa.
p:6. Z; 500: 53:4, S: Micah 5:o; Zech
90; and Malachi 3:1.)
Jesus Makes Himself Known
Jesus manner Of revealing Himself
was thoroughly characteristic. /,
was through the breaking Of bread
which they had SC often seen Him do
and His accustomed "blessing."
The Two Return "a Jerusalem.-
After Jesus had vanished from their
sight" the two disciples began to re.
call little incidents in the n ot
Jesus as He walked with them. famil
lar expressions, and. above all. the
peculiar illumination which He alone
among the teachers Of the time had
thrown upon the Scriptures. So they
returned to Jerusalem to tell the
apostles that they had seen Jesus, tina,
