This is a condensed version of Jesus" appearance on the Emmaus road. The different (immortal) form in which Jesus appeared accounted in part for the failure of these men to recognize Him. The writer"s point seems to be the unbelief of the disciples again. Neither the report of an eyewitness nor a personal appearance opened these men"s eyes. God had to do that supernaturally, and He still does. [source][source][source]
